Plastic hangers come in all types, and may be
highly practical and economical. Perfect for
closets in schoolrooms, laundromats or gyms,
plastic hangers can tolerate damp clothing and
rough treatment. Work clothes, school clothes,
play clothes and even formal clothes can be hung
on long-lasting, high-quality plastic hangers.

------------------------
When purchasing plastic hangers for children, make
sure and get hangers whose bodies are extruded in
a cylindrical shape (tubular plastic hangers), and
without moving metal parts that can become
entangled in children’s hair. One-piece hangers
are easier to keep on a closet rod, as their hook
ends don’t move or get tangled with other hangers.
Unlike the clear plastic hangers with swivel metal
hooks that one sees in budget clothing stores, one
piece hangers rarely break when they fall to the
closet floor. Plastic hangers should be made
smooth, with no jagged spots along seams or on
hook-ends.
In tiny apartments, you can maximize your
available closet space by hanging lightweight
plastic hangers on the bathroom, bedroom or closet
door. Plastic hangers may be strung together; the
hook end of one on the central bar of another, to
create drying racks for lightweight clothing.
Plastic hangers are also idea for travel. If you
lose them, they are inexpensive to replace. They
are light, easily moving from car hangers to
suitcase or hotel closet. As a car hanger, they
keep jackets or dresses from wrinkling, arriving
fresh and ready-to wear at the destination.
Some plastic hangers are made with small,
up-curled hooks on the inside corners. These hooks
allow you to slip straps over them, permitting the
hanging of skirts or slips as well as blouses or
pants.
The Pluses of a Plastic Tublular Hanger or
Clear Crystal Plastic Hanger
Mothers and fathers of young children tend to
prefer plastic hangers, since they are durable,
washable and neat. The roundness of some plastic
hangers acts as an additional surface on which to
hang clothes while moving quickly through the room
with a toddler held under one arm. Plastic hangers
don’t hurt children when they yank them off the
low nursery closet, but wire hangers, with their
many edges, may do so.
Plastic is smooth and light, molded in any one of
a dozen fashions, it is easy to find the plastic
hanger that meets your needs. When buying plastic
hangers, make sure that the mold impression is
smooth, so there are no stray edges to snag
clothes. If the plastic hangers are all of one
piece, check to see that they can hold weight
without losing their form—some plastic hangers are
soft and will bend when clothes are hung on them.
If plastic hangers are combined with metal necks
or metal necks and hooks, make sure the metal is
polished and clean: cheap hangers may have grease
or light weight oil on them that will ruin your
clothes.
