Pellikano Clothes Airer Attachment for Sheets White

Frequently Asked Questions - Pellikano Clothes Airer Attachment for Sheets White

What are the dimensions of the Pellikano Clothes Airer Attachment for Sheets White?

The Pellikano measures 166cm W x 29cm D x 4cm H and weighs 3kg. The 166cm width is the key dimension - each of the four drying rails runs the full 166cm length, which is wide enough to hang a king-size fitted sheet, a doona cover or a large bath sheet flat across the rails without doubling or folding. When not attached to the airer, the Pellikano stores flat and takes up minimal space.

What is the Pellikano Clothes Airer Attachment made from?

The four drying rails are powder-coated aluminium - 100% rustproof and non-marking. The frame that holds the rails in position is nylon. Both materials are designed for repeated exposure to wet laundry without degrading. Every Pellikano is made in Italy and quality-checked at the Arredamenti Italia workshop in Bione, northern Italy.

What is the Pellikano used for?

The Pellikano is a dedicated attachment for drying large flat items - bed sheets, doona covers, duvet inners, bath sheets, tablecloths and any oversized laundry that standard airer rails cannot accommodate without bunching. Standard clothes airer rails are typically 60-80cm wide, which forces sheets to fold over themselves and dry slowly or unevenly. The Pellikano's four rails at 166cm each give large items the full flat spread they need to dry efficiently and without creasing.

How much drying space does the Pellikano add?

The Pellikano adds 6.5 linear metres of drying space across its four 166cm rails. This is enough to hang two king-size flat sheets simultaneously, or a combination of sheets, pillowcases and large towels across the four rails in a single session.

Which clothes airer is the Pellikano compatible with?

The Pellikano is specifically designed to attach to the Gabbiano Clothes Airer. It clips directly onto the Gabbiano's frame using the included clips - no tools required. It is not a universal attachment and is not designed to fit other airers. Two Pellikano attachments can be used simultaneously, one on each side of the Gabbiano, effectively doubling the large-item drying capacity of the base airer.

How does the Pellikano attach to the Gabbiano airer?

The Pellikano clips onto the top rail of the Gabbiano frame using the included clips, which are integrated into the nylon frame of the attachment. The clips engage with the Gabbiano's rail and hold the Pellikano at an angled or horizontal position depending on how it is set.

Can two Pellikano attachments be used at the same time?

Yes - two Pellikano attachments can be clipped onto the Gabbiano simultaneously, one on each side of the frame. This gives a combined 13 linear metres of large-item drying space across eight rails at 166cm each, making it practical to dry a full set of king-size bed linen - fitted sheet, flat sheet, doona cover and pillowcases - in a single session without any item needing to be doubled over.

Does the Pellikano arrive assembled?

Yes - the Pellikano arrives fully assembled. The only action required is clipping it onto the Gabbiano Clothes Airer using the included clips. There is no flat-pack construction required.

How do I care for and clean the Pellikano Clothes Airer Attachment?

The powder-coated aluminium rails are rustproof and require only occasional wiping with a damp cloth to remove detergent residue or lint build-up. The nylon frame can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. No other maintenance is required under normal household use.
