5. Find Proper Hangers For Your Clothes

Having the proper hangers will not only protect your clothing but could possibly increase the storage space and accessibility of your closet.
- First consider what you want to hang. Keep to the simple rule of one item per hanger. This will eliminate the problem of items getting mixed up or lost in your closet. Do not hang sweaters or knit products. Hanging these items can cause sagging in the shoulders or stretch out the garment. Fold these items and place into drawers or on shelves.
- Next consider how much space you have available. Wooden hangers are fantastic but may take up too much space on your rod in your closet.
- Find hangers made specifically for for each type of garment. Hanging a heavy coat onto a wire hanger will not work. The hanger will eventually bend causing the coat to fall to the bottom of the closet. Cedar hangers are great for long term storage of clothing since they repel moths.
- Find hangers to fit your budget. Hangers come from several retailers in a variety of styles including wire, wood, plastic, vinyl, metal, satin and velvet. Do you really need an expensive $10 hanger for that shirt you found on sale at Target?
Here are a few choice retailers for your reference:
