Avoid Using Wire Hangers for Clothing Storage


Joan Crawford isn’t the only one who thinks wire hangers are bad. We agree!

Wire hangers are less than ideal for storing garments, especially knit fabric, which is susceptible to distortion. The weight of a knit garment alone will cause the formation of “rabbit ears” at the shoulders. Gravity is a knit's worst enemy. Store knits flat to keep them from distorting or use a broad hanger to distribute the stress evenly. Another reason to stay away from wire hangers? Over time, wire hangers will rust and stain garments.

No wire hangers—ever!
