QUICK TIP: ORGANIZE CLOTHES HANGERS

Replace your wire clothes hangers with plastic hangers or wooden hangers. Wire hangers stretch your clothes and don't handle well. That is because wire hangers catch on each other and pop off the closet rod easily when you remove clothes from them.

Consider choosing customized hangers for items like skirts, pants and even tank tops or spaghetti strap items. The right hanger means the clothing will remain in place and not slide off onto the closet floor. And the right clothes hanger maintains your clothing shape. They don't leave marks or stretch your times.

Tip: If you're currently using wire clothes hangers, gradually shift to plastic hangers as you wear, wash and replace an item in the closet. After a year, notice what is still on the wire hangers. With the exception of a few specialty items, this is clothing you do not wear. Donate it or discard it to make more closet storage space.[ Back ] [ Next ]
