If you are fitting out your dry cleaning or ironing service premises you will need to pay particular attention to where you will hang your customers’ finished garments. If there is cupboard space already installed you may want to cut costs and revamp the existing fixtures. By using wire coat hangers you can make the most of your space and ensure that the finished clothing remains crease free.

Wire coat hangers are great for taking up only a small amount of space which is crucial when you are running a busy business. In the past wire coat hangers were notorious for snagging clothes, snapping and getting tangled together however these days’ metal coat hangers are sturdier and don’t easily overlap and tangle. If you want to give your premises a more chic look you can get coat hangers in brushed nickel or chrome finishes but remember you will be giving them away as part of your service and this could be costly.

Wire coat hangers will also keep clothes well shaped whether you are hanging jackets, blouses, dresses or coats. Skirts and trousers can also be effectively hanged using clips to secure them to the hangers. When dry cleaning or ironing matching sets of tops and bottoms you can add further space by hanging them on the same hanger. Another good tip for ensuring that garments are not creased is to hang jackets, coats and suits in another area. This protects more delicate garments such as shirts and skirts from being crushed. Having designated areas for different types of clothing can make it easier to locate items when the customer comes to collect also. Specific areas can also be utilised to separate those garments that have not been collected within the normal deadline again making it more orderly and easier to track items down.
