Its basically true, they wont last as long left outside all the time.

I'll not be providing one, but I've plenty of experience of old brittle
plastic pegs. A lot of plastics and UV don't mix

But the OP mentioned a peg bag. The bag should be UV-opaque for that
reason, and can be left hanging on the line or post.

Yeah, but then you have to put them in nd take them out of the bag,
quicker to just leave them on the line.

Slower.. you have to wipe the line to remove the dirt before you put
the clean washing on.

Why would leaving the pegs on the line have anything to do with wiping
the line? Can't say I notice any great problem with the line being dirty
though. Occasionally I give it a quick wipe if it's not been used for
sometime (at least weeks, which doesn't often happen with 2 adults and 2
children)


If you don't the wife will notice when she irons and finds dirty marks
where the pegs were.

1. I deal with all the laundry

2. We have better things to do than bother with ironing (or be bothered
about the odd dirty peg mark on the odd item of washing)
