“Just Say No” to Wire Hangers
Perfectly Good?
The sight of wire hangers is practically synonymous with freshly dry cleaned clothes. Still, that doesn’t mean the wire hanger is the best option for the safe, effective storage of your favorite garments. Nonetheless, many people continue to cling to the use of wire hangers. After all, they work perfectly fine, and they’re free. Why would you waste your hard-earned money on new hangers when you’ve already got a closetful of perfectly good ones? The truth is, there are plenty of reasons to “Just Say No” to wire hangers”.
Not Meant for Permanent Use
Professional dry cleaners use wire hangers for their low cost and extremely narrow profile. Their thin gauged wire allows more garments to be stored in a compact area. But just like the paper and plastic covers that often cover your professionally cleaned garments, wire hangers are not meant for permanent use. In many cases, using wire hangers is like accepting a free, one-way ticket to closet chaos and clothing damage. Here’s why:
TANGLING
-
Wire hangers have a tendency to become tangled together, causing most users to waste time fighting to separate tangled garments every time they reach into to the closet.
STRETCH MARKS
-
>Wire hangers are very rough on your clothing, particularly knit fabrics. The thin metal wire leaves behind stretch marks that may never come out. Occasionally, they even cause holes to emerge in the fabric.
LOSE SHAPE
-
Wire hangers quickly become bent and misshapen. This leads to even odder looking stretch marks and clothing slipping onto the floor.
RUSTING
-
Wire hangers are coated with a thin layer of enamel, designed to protect the metal wire from corrosion. Naturally, this enamel wears off over time, leaving your garments susceptible to the often permanent rust stains.
Why Settle for Wire?
When it comes to protecting your wardrobe investment, why settle for wire hangers? Instead, simply transfer your freshly cleaned garments to more reliable hangers, and return the wire to your favorite local dry cleaner. Trust me: your wardrobe will thank you!
