To stop clothes fallen off hangers

pauline · Guru

I had the same problem cannylass, drove me mad, so I fixed it by putting a rubber band round about 3 or 4 hangers and it worked a treat........simple but does work.

While we traveling I was fed up of picking all our clothes off the wardrobe floor so Hubby came up with using curatin wire thas the one that streches fixing tow hook at either end of the wardrobe and streching the wire under the clothes hangersand hooking into the eys at the other end . Thats fixed that annoying problem even on the roughest road no more clothes on the floor

Black Huggable Hangers

I found them in Coppermart and also have seen them in the $2 discount store

I've been using these hangers while travelling and nothing falls off, their great.

We put shelves in the robe and just fold the clothes and put on the shelf. They never fall off then

Agree with shazmacca. The more you fold, the simpler. We also had to buy smaller coathangers for the few clothes we do hang as the bigger ones didn't fit in the wardrobe. They don't fall off because they are tight.

Plus I also think he might have something to do with where the wardrobe is situated in the van and what sort of movement it is getting. One at front and back would get a differnet movement to ones on the side I would think.

Someone suggestedhanging them facing backwards. I have been doing this for a while and so far so good.

We are about to turn our wardrobe into shelves for either clothes or a pantry but when we hung ours, I used that layer coathanger which had felt on it.

THe other hangers, I used a peg on each garment, like I was hanging them by the shoulders on the line, worked well

My wardrobes are on the front of the van, and they're too packed. My clothes wouldn't dare fall off the hangers.

Hook the hangers on the rail/rod/ from the back if the robe is in the rear of van, & from the front if the robe is in the front, its the forward pitching that flicks the hangers off the rails.

I don't know what happend to my text it gone haywire so I hope it was understood

Firefly, we wanted a pantry and we just pinched about 10-15cms of the wardrobe so the pantry is narrow shelves (mostly one tin or one bottle wide) with rods across the front of them so they don't roll out to meet you when the door is opened -and the door is on the side of the wardrobe. We also put a shelf in for the portapotti but still kept a small amount of hanging space for those clothes that just don't fold well.

That sounds like a brilliant idea mate. I am getting a cabinet maker in soon to look at ours. I like the idea of the wardrobe but it really doesn't work in our van.
