SLIBB clothes pegs (705.677.49) have a wide-opening plastic design for clotheslines and drying racks. IKEA specifies wiping them with a dry cloth. These steps apply to this model, not necessarily to metal-spring pegs.

1. Identify the model — Check that it is IKEA SLIBB 705.677.49: polypropylene clamp and acetal-plastic spring, unlike a conventional metal-spring peg.
2. Wipe dust — After use, clean the grip and surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid unapproved harsh cleaners or heat treatment.
3. Check the closure — Open and release the peg gently. IKEA notes that a peg may remain open briefly after prolonged use before returning to its normal position.
4. Inspect for damage — Look for cracks, sharp broken edges or severe deformation. Do not keep using damaged pegs to hold clothing.
5. Place carefully — The wide opening can hold relatively thick clothes. Choose a position that minimises marks, and do not grip fragile fabrics too firmly.
6. Store together — Gather clean pegs in one place and keep small pegs or broken parts away from young children who might put them in their mouths.
