Wooden Clothing Pegs
/-
To help dry your clothes! These wooden clothes pegs are a great alternative to plastic ones.
Use to hang your clothes outside to dry.
To prolong the life of the pegs, keep dry in-between use. We also like to protect ours by treating them to a wax, use a furniture polish or a bit of coconut oil to condition, allow to fully dry before using.

Plastic pegs can get brittle and break, releasing small plastic pieces in the natural environment, causing plastic pollution. These wooden pegs are biodegradable and compostable at the end of their useful life. The steel can be recycled and the wooden pegs composted. Unlike plastic pegs, they will not pollute the environment after use.
Air drying clothes is by far the most environmentally friendly way to dry your clothes. The average tumble dryer produces 1.8kg of CO2 each time it is used. Tumble drying also causes synthetic fabrics to shed microplastics, which end up in our water systems. (info from Is it Really Green? Georgina Wilson-Powell)
