Clothing Hanger Tips and Techniques

Here are some great clothes-hanging tips from a dry cleaner.

Thread one pant leg through the hanger and fold it,

then tuck in the remaining leg,

and it won't fall, with far fewer wrinkles.

Hang a long dress on a hanger, then fold the sleeves and hem inward.

Thread another hanger through the skirt and hang it from the upper hanger,

and you can store it even in a small closet.

Fold a sweater that's prone to stretching in half, then place a hanger diagonally,

and drape the sleeves and body over the hanger.

It won't stretch or get wrinkled.

For a long sweater, first fold in the sleeves and hem,

then thread the skirt portion through a hanger and hang it from the upper hanger,

and it stays neat. For a shirt, fold the sleeves toward the center,

then fold both sides inward once more.

Next, place the hanger in the middle and hang it folded in half,

and it will be easy to store.

For a sweater, thread the hanger through from beneath the garment,

then drape both sleeves over the outside of the hanger,

and you can store it without damage.

For a long winter coat that's awkward to hang, fold the sleeves and hem inward,

then thread a hanger through it and hang it from the upper hanger,

and you can hang it wrinkle-free even in a low closet.

Lastly, place a hanger at the hems of your jeans,

and hook the belt loops onto the hanger hook.

It's simple, but you can hang them without wrinkles.
