They say that simplest ideas are the best. Our latest invention is the washing line cover. It seems incredible that there are over 4 million rotary washing lines (airers, dryers, whirlygigs, call them what you will) out in the British Climate without a rain cover! If you saw a house without a roof or an umbrella without any fabric you would laugh, yet that is what we have had to do - until now.
THE ANSWER - the Rotaire Dryline.
The Dryline has proved popular all over the UK and abroad because it answers one basic problem: THE WEATHER! It also answers the problems of energy usage, money saving and ridding the house of draped laundry.
No matter how careful one is when hanging washing, a sudden shower can mean that it has to be taken in wetter than it went out. The option is to dry it inside. This soaks up energy, causes a damp atmosphere, and rooms full of wet washing needed for the next day: A NIGHTMARE!
Or you can use a tumble dryer. This wastes expnsive electricity to heat the outside air and contributes to global Climate Change - which we should all be addressing: ANOTHER NIGHTMARE!!
Across the European Union tumble dryer use consumes over 1700 trillion kilowatt hours of energy, producing over 70 million tons of CO2 EVERY YEAR!!!
THE ANSWER - Rotaire Dryline.
