Clothes horse and clothespegs Explanation: Alternatively, clothes rack, or clothes dryer -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 mins (2012-10-09 12:56:56 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Should be clothes pegs, so: Clothes horse and clothes pegs, or clothes rack and clothes pegs. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 mins (2012-10-09 12:59:15 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clotheshorse -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 mins (2012-10-09 13:07:23 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It can also be clothes dryer, if you prefer -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 30 mins (2012-10-09 13:18:31 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Regarding Mihailolja's comment that it could also be "clothes airer", this is true, but I would not recommend it for Greece, because, in England, we normally "air" clothes to prevent them from getting damp in the wet climate. In England, most houses have an "airing cupboard", which is heated, so as to protect the clothes from becoming damp or so as to dry them more thoroughly after air drying them outside. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 42 mins (2012-10-09 13:29:57 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Clarification: A clothes horse is usually a dryer that can stand on its own. If the "απλώστρα" is of the type that is attached to a veranda railing, it would be better to call it a "clothes rack" or "clothes dryer". If you don't know what type it is, it would be safer to describe it as a "clothes rack" or "clothes dryer", because these terms can apply to all types of "απλώστρα". |
