The Right Hanger Does Make a Difference

]]> I used to think hangers weren’t a big deal. Sure, I used them, but I used only the wire and plastic ones. Little did I know that the type of hanger you use can really make a big difference. Wire hangers can stretch out your clothes and leave marks across the shoulders. They really aren’t good for most of your clothes. Plastic hangers are good, but some articles of clothing can slide off and they also leave creases on dress pants.

Here are some hanger tips for choosing the best hanger:

Plastic Tubular Hangers:

These type of hangers are the foundation for your closet. These are great for polo shorts, tee-shirts, light weight blouses and dress shirts. Make sure that the hangers are a decent quality. I have bought cheap plastic hangers before that have snagged my clothes. You don’t need top-of-the-line plastic hangers, unless you want them of course, but don’t settle for the cheap ones if you want to protect your clothes.

Padded Hangers:

Padded hangers are perfect for those delicates and also evening wear.

Cedar Hangers:

If moths or moisture is a problem in your closet, these cedar hangers are perfect for coats and suits. Cedar will repel those nasty moths and also absorbs moisture.

Tiered Hangers:

Honestly, these kind of hangers annoy me, but I know a lot of people who love them. If space is an issue in your closet, then this may be the type of hanger you need. You can hang multiple pants and skirts and the arm swings out so you can retrieve the item you need.

Kids’ Hangers:

Using adult hangers for children’s clothing will stretch out the shape of the clothes. When buying kids’ hangers, make sure they have little slots and loops on them. This will keep their clothes from slipping off of the hangers.

Hopefully those tips will help you figure out which hangers you need to help you take care of your clothes and create an organized closet.
