Oh, wire hangers, how I hate thee!
A much more earth-friendly alternative to wire hangers is the EcoHanger. It’s made from 100 percent recycled paper, and when its closet life is over it’s 100% recyclable too.
The EcoHanger was proven stronger than wire hangers in lab tests. If you’re tired of receiving wire hangers with your dry cleaning, suggest this greener alternative. It’s made in the US, unlike wire hangers that are often made by poorly paid workers in other countries. Also, recycled paper is a renewable resource, and these hangers create more demand for recycled paper.
You can try out a 12-pack of the We Love Our Planet series for free if you’re a contest winner. Chances are pretty good since EcoHangers has agreed to give away four 12-packs.
That means four of you who comment on this post will be shipped a very awesome junk creation — 12 recycled clothes hangers! I’ve also linked to Bloggy Giveaway this week, so go there to see what else is going on in the blog contest world.
It’s really easy to enter this cool contest:
•Leave a comment on this post telling me why you hate wire hangers. Here’s why I hate them: If you drop one on the floor, it really hurts to step on it later. I’ve gotten several painful foot scratches in the past that way. That’s why I haven’t had wire hangers in years.
•Enter before midnight CST on Saturday, April 26. Four winners will be randomly selected. Each winner will receive a 12-pack of EcoHangers. Winners will be announced on April 27.
•Please note that this contest is open only to residents of the continental US.
Good luck, and don’t forget to tell me in comments why you hate wire hangers.

Wire hangers put bumps in my clothes.
Thank you for much for the giveaway. I would love to win this! nw_wife(at)hotmail(dot)com
I hate how wire hangers get all tangled up and bent out of shape
I hate wire hangers because I always scratch the top of my hand on the edge of the hook.
Great giveaway!!
I hate wire hangers because they don’t hold bulky items without bending. And soft silky stuff slides right off of them.
Please stop by and visit our contest if you have time.
Thanks and have a great day!
I hate wire hangers because they seem to multiply! I recycle them at the dry cleaner, but as soon as I take some in, five new ones appear! ARGH!
Wire hangers can be a pain to me when I reach in hubbies side of the closet to get just one they all jump out at me.
Have fun with your giveaway this week. Don’t forget to come and enter my giveaway too!
I hate wire hangers because they always get in a tangled mess!
they damage my clothing by ruining their shape, leaving holes and rust marks. i desperately need to replace mine w/ good hangers, please!
I really hate wire hangers they get all bent up and if you air dry your shirts they end up wopsided.
I don’t like the way wire hangers get tangled. These would be great as we are definitely heading toward greener living.
These seem like a neat idea, please enter me to win!
I don’t like wire hangers at all! I often dry my clothes by hanging them up on a line, some of my clothes require me to hang them on hangers first – and then put on a line. If I use wire hangers they pull on the clothes, stretching them out and the clothes dry funky looking.
I don’t like the lines that wire hangers leave across the shoulders of shirts. I like the pretty pictures on these hangers!
I hate wire hangers because they are simply ugly. I like wood hangers better.
My reason for disliking them is definitely stepping on them. I’m so clumsy and hangers on the floor do not help! I tend to step on one part and stick my foot in the open part and trip myself.
That and the get all bend out of shape.
I use wire hangers sometimes but only for certain things. I don’t really like them because they leave marks on the shoulders of my shirts.
I hate wire hangers because my tank tops and hoodies always fall off of them! And, if you hang something slightly damp on them, it leaves rust marks.
I’ve love to win these eco hangers. Wire hangers are not very good at all. I recently covered some with recycled plastic bag yarn. It worked well to prevent the clothing article not to slide off after it was covered. Also no rust worries either once they are covered.
I hate wire hangers because they always get tangled up in the closet, and they leave funky marks on the shoulders of my sweaters and knit tops.
I hate wire hangers because they always bend out of shape! They also leave those weird marks on the shoulders of everything!
I hate them because they warp when I try to hang pants in them. twodarlingdaughtersATgmailDOTcom
I hate wire hangers because they stretch out the shoulders of shirts and leave “dents”. They also bend if you hang something heavy on them. They aren’t pretty either!
I hate wire hangers because they get tangled up with one another and they leave marks in your clothing!
Wire hangers are not for me. I haven’t used one since I was in grade school I think because I really hate it when the plastic peels off and the metal part leaves rust stains on my uniforms! Who would want to go to school with rust stains in his/her white uniform? And yeah. Did I already mention that I had gotten quite a number of scratches back when I had been using wire hangers? That is also one part I really hate.
thanks for such a great giveaway!
I don’t like wire hangers either. The only ones I like are the ones my Mother crocheted around to hide the wire. She taped 2 together and crocheted them. Wire hangers are good for a weiner roast when they are opened out. My email is phillips8653@sbcglobal.net
Every week we have a discussion, and try to come up with a new ‘Green’ alternative to our life. Our list is growing. This week, I would like to add these hangers! Who can see a wire hanger, and not think of Joan Crawford? Thank you.
The get tangled too easy when taking to laundromat.
I hate wire hangers, Joan Crawford-style. They are aesthetically unpleasing and they totally wrinkle clothes.
Cool hangers!
I hate wire hangers for several reasons.
First, they leave pointy ridges on the shoulders of my clothes.
And then they always seem to get bent out of shape and then the clothes fall off of them. Maybe I just have cheap wire hangers!
Thanks for the contest!
I don’t like wire hangers because sometimes they stretch out clothes in unflattering ways.
wire hangers make the clothes misshapen
I hate wire hangers because they can’t be trusted in a dark closet. You know what they are doing in there! They multiply!!! I got rid of most of my wire hangers because they are lousy for hanging up heavy clothes, but I must have left a breeding pair cause there tons in my closet again! Am trying to be greener and would love to try these. ty
I hate wire hangers because they can rust, and then leave rust marks on your clothes!
I hate wire hangers because they bend out of shape and clothes never hang right on them.
They leave stretch marks in the shoulders of shirts and they are always tangled up with each other.
hmm, i hate how sometimes rust/grease comes off on the clothes…
I hate wire hangers because they are always getting tangled up with each other. I just want to scream!
Thanks for the giveaway!
The only thing wire hangers are good for is being made into campfire roasters! Otherwise, they’re terrible even as hangers- they leave marks in the shoulders!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
Wire hangers get tangled really easy. I think I saw these eco hangers on the Today show yesterday!!

Great giveaway! I hope i’m the lucky winner
i hate wire hangers because they totally snag and ruin your clothes — they are the worst!
I don’t like because if you grab them wrong they scratch/cut you
i hate wire hangers because joan crawford tells me to. no, i hate them because of an episode of er where a kid got one stuck in his lip. ew.
I don’t like them because they aren’t very durable. They bend and don’t hold the clothes up very well.
On occasion for one reason or another I’ve had problems with rusting.
I hate wire hangers…and these plastic recycled ones are the bomb! Enter me please.

I do not like wire hangers for hanging clothes. They make deep long wrinkles in skirts and dresses (because of the way they hang) and mess up the shoulders. Hangers are easily bent out of shape and they also get tangled up with each other. They are very good for other things such as fishing things out of drains (and toilet?); for getting into your car when you’ve locked the keys in it (but not always); to make a makeshift tailpipe bracket thingy(?) and other car stuff; you can also make lovely door wreaths by shaping them round and tying many bits of plastic, string or some other materials (this can be tedious and time consuming but the result can be rather stunning)(?). Like I said, wire hangers are good for many things-just not hanging clothes with. Also-never hang a wet shirt or sweater on a wire hanger. It’s hard getting rust out of your clothes. I could go on but I’ll just leave it for now…………….
