Oh, wire hangers, how I hate thee!
A much more earth-friendly alternative to wire hangers is the EcoHanger. It’s made from 100 percent recycled paper, and when its closet life is over it’s 100% recyclable too.
The EcoHanger was proven stronger than wire hangers in lab tests. If you’re tired of receiving wire hangers with your dry cleaning, suggest this greener alternative. It’s made in the US, unlike wire hangers that are often made by poorly paid workers in other countries. Also, recycled paper is a renewable resource, and these hangers create more demand for recycled paper.
You can try out a 12-pack of the We Love Our Planet series for free if you’re a contest winner. Chances are pretty good since EcoHangers has agreed to give away four 12-packs.
That means four of you who comment on this post will be shipped a very awesome junk creation — 12 recycled clothes hangers! I’ve also linked to Bloggy Giveaway this week, so go there to see what else is going on in the blog contest world.
It’s really easy to enter this cool contest:
•Leave a comment on this post telling me why you hate wire hangers. Here’s why I hate them: If you drop one on the floor, it really hurts to step on it later. I’ve gotten several painful foot scratches in the past that way. That’s why I haven’t had wire hangers in years.
•Enter before midnight CST on Saturday, April 26. Four winners will be randomly selected. Each winner will receive a 12-pack of EcoHangers. Winners will be announced on April 27.
•Please note that this contest is open only to residents of the continental US.
Good luck, and don’t forget to tell me in comments why you hate wire hangers.

I do not like wire hangers for hanging clothes. They make deep long wrinkles in skirts and dresses (because of the way they hang) and mess up the shoulders. Hangers are easily bent out of shape and they also get tangled up with each other. They are very good for other things such as fishing things out of drains (and toilet?); for getting into your car when you’ve locked the keys in it (but not always); to make a makeshift tailpipe bracket thingy(?) and other car stuff; you can also make lovely door wreaths by shaping them round and tying many bits of plastic, string or some other materials (this can be tedious and time consuming but the result can be rather stunning)(?). Like I said, wire hangers are good for many things-just not hanging clothes with. Also-never hang a wet shirt or sweater on a wire hanger. It’s hard getting rust out of your clothes. I could go on but I’ll just leave it for now…………….

On occasion for one reason or another I’ve had problems with rusting.
I don’t like them because they aren’t very durable. They bend and don’t hold the clothes up very well.

The only thing wire hangers are good for is being made into campfire roasters! Otherwise, they’re terrible even as hangers- they leave marks in the shoulders!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
I hate wire hangers because they are always getting tangled up with each other. I just want to scream!
Thanks for the giveaway!
hmm, i hate how sometimes rust/grease comes off on the clothes…
They leave stretch marks in the shoulders of shirts and they are always tangled up with each other.
I hate wire hangers because they bend out of shape and clothes never hang right on them.
I hate wire hangers because they can rust, and then leave rust marks on your clothes!
I hate wire hangers because they can’t be trusted in a dark closet. You know what they are doing in there! They multiply!!! I got rid of most of my wire hangers because they are lousy for hanging up heavy clothes, but I must have left a breeding pair cause there tons in my closet again! Am trying to be greener and would love to try these. ty
wire hangers make the clothes misshapen
I don’t like wire hangers because sometimes they stretch out clothes in unflattering ways.
