What the little holes on washing pegs are for
As summer arrives and more people turn to drying laundry outdoors, a new laundry hack is making waves online.
A TikTok user recently unveiled a surprising discovery about **the small holes on washing pegs. It’s leaving people stunned.
The clip, shared by TikTok creator @jpee074, shows him hanging his laundry in a way most viewers had never seen.
The video has the caption: ‘I was today years old when I found out I had been pegging wrong all these years. The little holes are for the line! ‘Today years old…. Life changing!!!!’
Instead of clipping clothes above the line, he threads the line through the small holes beneath the peg’s clamp.
The result? A more stable and effective hold on windy days.

The video quickly went viral and sparked debate among viewers.
In the comment selection, thousands commenting on how they had never known this hidden function existed.

Comments flooded in from users around the world, expressing their disbelief and excitement.
Additionally, others shared how they plan to change their laundry routine moving forward. Many were thrilled by how such a small change could make hanging clothes outdoors easier and more effective.
One person said: I’m 55 and just found out
A second wrote: OMG! 28 years of life and I’m only learning this now.
While a third commented: Are you kidding me? Now I’m actually excited to do laundry tomorrow.
Someone else said: 300,000 people will be pegging their clothes differently from now on!
Another added: Blooming heck I’ve just gone round house to find some washing so I can try the pegs the right way.
Someone said: Lol yeh because pegging generally involves something other than a peg.
I knew it just right now. Somone said.
Users share summer laundry hacks
Alongside the viral hack, commenters also began trading their own laundry drying tips.
Additionally, one person suggested using **clothes hangers for T-shirts and jumper. While another recommended pegging trousers upside down by the belt loops to avoid drying marks.
Others shared clever space-saving ideas, such as:
– Sock hangers to keep small items organized.
– Hanging clothes on hangers before pegging, so they’re ready for the wardrobe.
Pegging on seams to prevent wrinkles and indentations.
These tips turned the comments section into a surprisingly helpful laundry advice forum.
The purpose of car grab handles
Additionally, the internet is also rediscovering the real purpose behind car grab handles—and they’re more useful than you think.
This peg discovery follows a recent wave of life hacks going viral, including one about the fold-away handles inside cars.
Grab handles are often misunderstood as merely decorative or unnecessary. In reality, they are designed to provide support. They are especially helpful for elderly passengers or those with mobility issues. Experts at Check This Car explain that these handles assist with entering and exiting the vehicle, maintaining stability during sharp turns, and even hanging clothes.
One TikToker,@sanne\_vberkel, discovered a small catch inside the handle that locks it in place. This made it easier to hold during bumpy rides.
Additionally, some users claimed the catch was meant for unscrewing the handle, while others insisted it had multiple functions.
“This is why you should always read the manual,” a viewer commented. “Your car might have features you never knew existed!”
