How to Clean Plastic Hangers

Materials Needed:

- Mild dishwashing liquid

- Warm water

- Soft cleaning cloth

- All-purpose cleaner (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cleaning Solution:

- Fill a sink or basin with warm water.

- Add a small amount of dishwashing liquid to the water and mix well until it forms a soapy solution.

2. Start Cleaning:

- Dunk the soft cloth into the soapy water and squeeze off any excess liquid.

- Wipe down each plastic hanger with the damp cloth, paying attention to areas with dirt or stains.

3. Remove Tough Stains:

- If the hangers have tough stains, apply a small amount of all-purpose cleaner directly onto the stain.

- Use the cloth to gently scrub the stain until it lifts.

4. Rinse the Hangers:

- After wiping down the hangers, rinse them thoroughly with clean, warm water to remove any residual soap or cleaner.

5. Dry the Hangers:

- Use a dry cloth to wipe off any excess water from the hangers.

- Alternatively, you can hang them on a clothesline or shower curtain rod to air dry.

Additional Tips:

- Avoid using harsh abrasives or chemicals, as they can damage the plastic hangers.

- If the hangers have accumulated significant dirt or stains, you can soak them in the soapy solution for a few minutes before wiping them down.

- For stubborn stains, try using a mixture of baking soda and water to create a gentle abrasive cleaner.

- Regular cleaning of plastic hangers helps prevent the build-up of dirt and keeps them looking their best.
