I wouldn't...I think it would probably bend the basket out of shape unless you didn't carry much weight in it.
1446505
Yes it is strong enough. In the summertime I put a set of king size sheets plus our bath towels, etc. and kitchen towels, (for two) in this basket and take them to the laundramat to dry to avoid the air conditioner. (It's cheaper!)

I would think so. I've never used it for wet laundry but I doubt that it would be a real problem.

Yes it is. Just a word about the basket...it is NOT EZ fold. If you keep it unfolded all the time it's a great light basket that holds heavy loads just fine.

I use them all the time for hanging clothes outside. I usually carry two loads at a time with jeans, towels ,etc. The will show rust where metal is after a period of time but to me doesn't affect what the basket is suppose to do. When it starts getting dirty I just swish it in the bath tube with bleach and detergent and hang out to dry. Mine has stains but is still going strong and I use it all the time .I do not try to fold into original form because when folded in half I can fit it between my washer and detergent cart with no problem .I absolutely love these basket and will only go back to plastic if these are no longer available or someone comes up with something better than this!

I say yes with an average load. One note, the metal is wearing through the cloth coating; I've had mine for just over a year.
1446509
Yes and No, but I guess it depends on how much wet laundry. I use a plastic laundry basket with wheels when I carry 20 to 80 pounds of wet laundry. I seriously doubt this was made for wet laundry use, as with everything one should use common sense.
1446510
I think so. I have used this baskets for everything. After 4 years, the metal is starting to come throughout the fabric, but I plan to buy them again. I love them!

I really don't have idea of how much weight can support. What I can really say is that holds pretty good and does not retracts. I normally hang jeans or sweaters and it is not loose. Hope this helps.

This is the ultimate clothes hanger. I would purchase it again without doubt. Stainless steel does not rust, strong, heavy, I leave my upright since purchase. I would def recommend and purchase this product again. Hope this helps!

Oh yea, I would certainly say so. I used to hang up my backpack with books in it every night and that was at least 20-25 lbs. So unless you have some freakishly large pans, it should be ok. Although I should note that from some of the reviews it looks like some people are getting "real" brand name hooks and some people are getting different hooks that don't hold up as well. People complained about the finish peeling and hooks rusting and I haven't experienced that in the 2 years or so I've had them, and I've used a few in the bathroom and shower stall and still no rusting. I bought mine though Amazon and not one of the resellers. I don't know if that made a difference. Oh yea, I would certainly say so.

Short answer is yes. Mine is attached to a paneled wall. If it's attached to dry wall or something like that it may not hold the weight and come out of the wall. You can have clothes hanging on the hangers provided the unit is attached to a strong wall.

I think it might be too light weight. It is waterproof but it isn't very heavy. It worked great for our wet purposes, but we didn't need for it to have strength to hold up under weight or pressure. Hope that helps. dhw

I hang wet denim jeans from it using most of the clips and they have never fell down. That should give you a good idea of how much it can hold. The clips are not super super strong but they are strong enough for what I use then for.

Yes, I have it sitting under my utility sink for storage but when I do laundry, I sit it on the counter and as things go from the washer to dryer I use the hangers to hand those items I don't dry. Love this product and gave one to my neighbor! Hope this answer was helpful!

What type of material is the inside lining? Is it water-proof/stain-resistant? Want to use as laundry basket for dishcloths and soiled baby clothes. Not sure how it will hold up to the dampness, mildew-wise. Also, will the small bin be able to hold one load of washing?

Of all the ones I gave tried this is the heaviest, and most sturdy, I don't know if it shows when I first posted, but it is still going strong and functional on a daily basis. For the most part no it doesn't pull away. You have to pull the amount of hose you want out then it won't move. I have seen people post about securing it to a wooden deck, mine just sits on a rock slab.

Absolutely! I have hung out guilts, blankets, pillows, sheets, towels, blue jeans and anything else that will fit into my large front loading washer. I had a clothes line made the same as this one when we lived in Florida but it collapsed in the wind. I bought it at Lowes and there is no comparison to the Barbantia. This one is very sturdy even on windy days here in Indiana. I would definitely recommend it and I'm very happy I purchased mine. I've had it 2 summers now and it is still like brand new and I left it out all winter.

Hi Miriam - Hopefully other users chime in with their personal experience, but as the manufacturer I thought that I would offer my suggestion. This is a big laundry bag for sure. As far as too big?... that is tough to answer. When not in use, it can be very, very small as it folds up in to a tiny 'footprint'. You also certainly don't need to keep the bag completely full for sure. Just put a manageable amount of laundry in for day to day use. We decided to offer a bag this big because we saw a lot of other reviewers on similar products that were on college campuses or military bases. Those folks needed a bag with a shoulder strap (we solved that!) and needed it to be really big for trips home from school or when travelling away from base. Your question is subjective, of course, but I hope that I was able to provide an adequate answer. Chris K Keeble Outlets

I have the full size and when I tried to wash it in my old washer (Maytag "Oversize capacity Plus" top load washer) it didn't go well at all. I stuffed it in okay but actually think it broke my washer on the spin cycle because it got way too heavy once wet. So if you are looking to have to purchase a new washer :-) then go for it! Otherwise keep in mind you could always take to laundry mat because in theory it won't need to be washed very often. I hang mine out in the sun every couple months as suggested with wool. Hope that helps!

Very likely yes. Break strength of the rope is more of a factor; spring for the heavier duty clothesline.

The clips are strong but not stronger than a good clothespin. I use mine in an outdoor situation for I hang items that I am selling at different events. No one has had any problems releasing the item that they want to buy or asked me for help. Hope this helps ibn your decision for it is a great little item. I own five now and am going to buy more.

Hi, Julia, I used my Hill's clothes line for two seasons (cannot hang them out in the middle of winter where I live) without having to tighten the lines. I put towels on it without any problem. I will tell you honestly, I like this clothes line VERY much!

Hi -- I took these on a trip and they were surprisingly sturdy. I used them for hanging up a lot of wet dresses, t-shirt dresses, etc. after washing. They should definitely handle the weight of wet-t-shirts and a light jacket.
