At Hangers, we utilize advanced technology to gently
clean your garments and keep them looking like new
longer. Here are some tips to help you keep your clothes
and other personal items looking their best.

Moth Prevention
Before storing items, remember to have them cleaned to eliminate any moth larvae
that may be nested in the fibers. Use commercial moth preventatives such as
mothballs or cakes, or more natural alternatives such as cedar hangers, balls
or chips.

Spills and Stains
If you spill something on a garment, do not dab it with water. It is a common
misconception that you should attempt to remove a spill or stain as soon as
it happens. Keep the garment out of the sun and in a cool place. Hangers uses
liquid carbon dioxide, a cold cleaning process, to clean garments and eliminate
the possibility of heat-set stains. Bring all stains to the attention of Hangers
when you visit us. This will assist us in determining the best method for extracting
the stain.

Cleaning Down Comforters
The label in most down items,
like comforters and jackets, read “Dry Clean
Only”. Choose a cleaning method that does not use heat as this can cause
the feathers in your down comforters and outerwear to scorch and ruin. Hangers
MiCare® process employs a patented “cool cleaning” method, eliminating
heat.

Preservation
After wearing a wedding gown, christening gown or any item that holds sentimental
value, or might be kept as an heirloom, be sure to have it cleaned as soon after
use as possible. This will help prevent difficult stains from becoming permanent
spots on the item. Be sure to have the item preserved by a preservationist that
uses air tight and non-acidic methods.

Daily Care
After each wear, empty all pockets. Otherwise the pockets may bulge or sag. Brush
clothing with a lint roller to remove lint, hair and surface dirt.

Storage
Don’t jam clothes into
the closet. If you have a large wardrobe, rotate it
based on the weather. Store out-of-season clothes in
a separate closet or
in special clothing containers.

Damp Garments
Damp Garments that have been rain-soaked or dampened should be dried thoroughly
in a cool, well-ventilated place before hanging in the closet. This will eliminate
the potential of mold and mildew and associated undesirable odors.

Knits
Exercise care when choosing to hang knits. Certain loosely woven knits retain
their shape better when folded, rather than hung.
