Let your fashion start before clothes hit your body.
Ever heard of a shoulder dimple on clothes? Chances are you’ve seen them. The small rough patches around the shoulder areas of clothes, mostly shirts, are called shoulder dimples. They are most commonly caused by the use of wrong, unsuitable, or bad-quality hangers.
It doesn’t end there though, stylists opine that the number one hardly known way to ruin clothes is by using bad hangers.
On the other side of the coin, suitable hangers keep your clothes in great condition and can help to save space when sorting out your closet or packing to travel.
Hangers differ in many terms — material, size, rotation, and a few others. All clothes are made from nine major raw materials and over 40 different kinds of fabric so it’s only normal that different materials or fabrics suit some hangers more than others.

Despite being an undisputed bestseller, this hanger set does not lack critique. Some customers say amazon, in their bid to keep the space-saving characteristic of these hangers, may have compromised on strength of the material.

Despite this, the amazon basics hanger doesn’t lack defenders and over 130,000 five-star reviews are enough proof of that.

One general rule for taking care of hangers is to ensure that every hanger in your closet holds no more than the amount of weight it was designed for.
For velvet hangers, keep them away from children and ensure they don’t get rubbed on frequently so as not to lose their shine.
Hangers can gather dust depending on where they are kept, so always wipe hangers first with a damp cloth and then a dry cloth so your clothes do not get stained when you put them on the hangers.
Also, remember to keep metallic hangers away from electricity.
Be careful of liquids that get in contact with hangers, especially metallic ones.
Know which hanger materials may bend under weight.
For cloth or wooden hangers, avoid high temperatures or sun exposure as well as any factor that may add to the corrosion of the material.
