Wooden Clothes Hangers
Provide Good Support for Your Clothing

Wooden clothes hangers are far better when it comes to providing proper support for your clothing. Wire hangers are simply not sturdy enough to support your clothing. Dry cleaners use them because they are cheap but they are not meant to be a permanent hanger.

Your clothing literally hangs from your shoulders. Wire hangers can never provide the same amount of support that your shoulders do. Let's face it...how many people do you know who are shaped like a wire hanger?

The First Closet Organization Tip is Get Rid of Wire Hangers!

When you have completed your closet design and are ready to move all your clothing back into the closet get rid of the wire hangers and replace them with wooden ones.

If you cannot replace them all at once then buy a dozen or so wooden hangers every month until the wire ones are all replaced.

Wooden clothes hangers come in a variety of finishes like, cherry, ebony, and even bamboo.

Your choice of hangers for your clothing can influence their lifespan so choose a hanger that will support the garment and allow it to hang properly with the least amount of wrinkling.

More Closet Organization Tips Using Clothes Hangers

always hang your clothing the way it is worn. This means that skirts and pants should be hung from the waist.

use the special hangers designed for skirts and pants instead of hanging them over the bar of a regular clothes hanger.

keep your clothing purged. Too much clothing will simply lead to overcrowding and a stuffed closet will wrinkle your clothes and crush shoulder pads and the lapels on suit jackets.

use upholstered hangers for very light tops or dresses with spaghetti shoulder straps. A button sewn onto each arm of the hanger will prevent the narrow spaghetti strap from slipping off.

Notched wooden clothes hangers will work just as well if you do not want to get out the sewing kit.

keep empty hangers in a separate place. Do not "pull" a garment off the hanger. Rather take the hanger out, remove the garment and then place the empty hanger in a designated spot. It will be there waiting for you when it is time to hang the garment back up again.

get special hangers for the kids. If you want them to hang their clothes up then make the clothes hangers user friendly and lower the closet rod so they can actually reach it!

Go vertical in your closet hanging space!

Try these great clothes hangers that cascade vertically so that you do not use up so much horizontal space in your closet.

or how about a combination hanger for your jackets and pants/skirts.
