Maximize Your Closet Space with Slim Line Hangers

Do you have problems with closet storage space? Do you dread sorting through your clothes in the morning to get dressed? If you have been training with Olympic wrestlers just to be able to pull clothes out of your closet than this new type of hanger is for you. Closets in small apartments and older homes are often quite small and can seriously constrain your wardrobe. If you feel like you do not have enough space to store all the clothes you would like to wear throughout the year there is a solution. Slim line hangers can double or even triple the storage capacity of any closet. An organized wardrobe can save you time getting ready in the morning.

With a more streamlined look than traditional wooden hangers and a classier feel than metal or wire hangers the slim line hangers can turn a bursting at the seams wardrobe into a neat and tidy dressing environment. Their narrow design enables clothes to hang closer together while at the same time preserving their shape. Even at a ¼” width they are strong enough to hold heavy winter coats. They come in a regular size 17” length and a 12” length for childrens hangers.

Sifting through clothes when trying to decide what to wear is a daily chore. Often clothes end up falling off bulky plastic hangers as they get rifled through. The continuous clean up is frustrating and time consuming. An added feature of the slim line hanger is a velvety surface on top of the hanger. This can prevent even the daintiest garments, such as an evening dress or lingerie, from falling off the hanger.

Many people have more pants than shirts. One type of slim line hanger allows you to match up multiple pairs of pants with a single shirt. The slim line multi pant hanger provides hanging space for up to four pairs of pants. Another alternative is to add a hook to a regular hanger to hold another shirt.

Packs of ten can be purchased for around $10 dollars and they are available in a wide range of colors. The benefits of an organized wardrobe are huge. You will save hours of closet management time and eliminate one source of stress. From getting ready in the morning, when time is at a premium, to putting away clean laundry in the evening slim line hangers can make it easier.

Three Accessories Your Retail Clothing Store Must Have

Retail clothing is a cut throat business. Your store needs to operate at peak performance to capture market share in your area. Employees perform thousands of small tasks each day, so it is crucial streamlined procedures are in place. Organizing you store so employees can work at maximum efficiency is equally important. These three tools can keep your store running like a well oiled retail machine, and prevent chaotic work flow. Here is how this modest investment can return thousands of dollars.

The hanger stacker is an absolute essential for any retail clothing store. This device is the best way to store extra hangers around your store. Its unique shape can accommodate all types of clothes hangers, and stores them in a way that prevents tangling. Most models can be purchased for less than $20. Place them at discreet locations around your store so employees will never have to go far to find or replace excess hangers. With hangers readily available your staff can remain on the sales floor by eliminating trips to the back room to retrieve and store hangers. Another great spot is behind the cashiers’ counters where clothes hangers are constantly piling up from customer purchases. With a hanger stacker you can move hundreds of hangers anywhere your store with ease.

If you are maximizing your stores capacity you probably have garments hung on walls and storage racks in high places. A hanger retriever can save employees hours of time over the course of the day by providing quick access to those hard to reach places. Hanger retrievers can be purchased between $18 to $20 dollars. An adjustable model gives a reach between three and five feet. With a hanger retriever there is no need to clutter your store with step stools and ladders.

The scourge of most fashion outlets is piles of clothes under garment racks. Clothes get bumped as customers move up and down the aisles and can easily fall off a hanger. Items lying on the floor can get walked on, dirty and damaged. This gives an atmosphere employees constantly have to pick up and re-hang items. Use of hanger covers can turn this into a thing of the past. Hanger covers are foam or rubber strips that can be slid on or stuck to any clothes hangers and increase the hanger garment friction ratio. An investment of 15 cents each can save your store thousands of dollars in damaged clothing, and provides a cleaner store presentation. Employees will save hours of labor and have more time to spend with customers.

Turning Childrens Chores into Child's Play

“Why can’t my kid use the closet instead of the floor for their clothes!?”

Does this sound familiar? You are not alone. This is a common question voiced by parents around the world. Unless something is done early on it only gets worse as they move into the teenage years. What can be done? You’ve tired nagging. You’ve tried grounding. You’ve even tried pleading, though you may not admit to it. Here are some ideas to help you motivate your child to keep their room tidy and clothes in the closet where they belong. By starting at an early age you can avoid the teenage disaster zones that have been foretold. Three great ways to motivate your tykes to be tidier are to give verbal encouragement, make it fun, and reward them for a job well done.

Studies have shown that kids respond more positively to words of encouragement instead of criticism. Think about the kind of encouragement you appreciate from your boss or co-workers and pay it forward to your kids. Praise them when they do remember to clean up or at least get something on a hanger. Remember to be sincere. Keep from going overboard and gushing praise; you risk creating the opposite effect. Encouragement can also include explaining the benefits of having a tidy room, such as being able to find toys, having space to play, and making it inviting for other kids to come over and enjoy.

Kids are more likely to participate in clean up if you make a game out of it. A great clean up game to play with younger kids is to have them clean up things in categories like colors, starts with, or sounds like. You will need to start out playing the games with them until the clean up becomes a habit. Make the closet a fun place. Decorate it with their favourite theme. Closet organizers help make sense out of the mayhem of clothing. Standard hangers may not fit your kids clothes, however many stores now carry children’s hangers more suitable to a smaller garment. These also come in different colors or themes and make sorting clothes easier. Create colourful tags and label drawers and shelves for shirts, pants, and sweaters.

You and your child can have fun creating a progress chart. Hang the chart on the inside of their door so they see it before they leave their room. Each time they put away their clothes, hang up their shirt, or put dirty clothes in the hamper a sticker goes on the chart. The chart will help you and your child keep track of their progress and let them know how close they are to receiving their reward for a job well done. Everyone likes to receive gifts, but a well earned reward is a lot more enjoyable. Rewards don’t always have to be toys. Other ideas might include a trip to the children’s museum or science center, a night at the movies, or a slumber party on their tidy bedroom floor.

This may seem like a lot of time and effort on your part, but consider it an investment. In the long run you will have helped your child to develop lifelong organizational skills. Keeping a room clean doesn’t always have to be a chore. Encourage and praise your kids when they do clean up, make it fun with games and decor, and help them chart their progress and reach their goal. You might even have fun too.
