Question

Answer 1

cuse you use vanish in the wash.

Answer 2

My clothes pins last for years.
I use the wood ones with the spring action.
They do pop apart when the wind is wild.
I keep them in a little bucket and haul them in and out with the laundry. So they are not out all the time.
I also have a few I use to reclose plastic bags like the bread, chips or cereal are in.

Answer 3

I think the old fashioned dolly pegs are the best , you don´t get the rust marks from the metal springs on your clothes, and they last a lot longer. You don´t find them around that much, I also use the bigger coloured type peg´s . they seem to last longer than the wooden ones

Answer 4

clothes pegs along with many items can to be made to last,
but due to cost and to keep turn over going they are made to have a short life, therefore u buy more and the wheels of industry keep turning

Answer 5

I have same problem. First the wood dries out. Second, it's the way they are made, any lateral force will cause them to come undone. I tried plastic ones, they were worse, plastic dried out before the wood. Answer is bring them indoors with the dried laundry....I guess. I just buy new ones.

Answer 6

Tie a burlap bag or something similar, and after you use the pins, put them back into the bag. :)

Answer 7

Mine always last. I bring them in with the washing.
