Wall mounted laundry lines are overtaking the traditional rotary laundry line in popularity because more people are moving into homes with small or no gardens. Rotary clotheslines and laundry products are not always the most practical way to dry clothes in a small garden. Wall mount style laundry dryers are great because they can be mounted in almost any sized space and can go indoors or on balconies.

Even better, they are easy to use. They are a sturdy, permanent fixture that you fold or pull out when you need them. They last a very long time and are an extremely useful device for drying your clothes in the best possible way to keep them in good condition.

There are two main types of wall mounted laundry lines. The first is the foldown laundry drying line. These are great laundry dryers that attach to the wall and fold out when needed and back in again, almost flat against the wall when not needed. Rectangular in shape they take up very little space even when being used. They can be found in a big range of different colours and sizes to suit every taste and every household. There are specially shaped versions to fit in long narrow areas, like a pathway, too.

The second type of wall mounted style of laundry dryer is the retractable laundry line. When not being used these take up less space than any other laundry line. The lines are kept coiled inside a small box and are pulled out and attached to a facing wall or post when needed. This is perfect if you have two walls facing each other at a suitable distance apart and if you don't then you can put the facing attachment on a removable post. If you get a retractable laundry or clothes line, make sure it comes with a device to stop the lines getting tangled and to keep them taunt when being used.

Whichever of these wall mount laundry lines you choose make sure you get a good quality brand. Both Austral and Hills are well respected names but there are some other good products moving into the market. Your laundry,clothesline or washing line should last you for years. This is an investment. For both types of lines, they need to be made from a hard wearing material. If it is going outside then it is very important that it is designed to withstand the weather.

There are plenty to choose from online, make sure you get the right size for your households washing needs. And think carefully before choosing where to site it.
