Dry garments on hangers from a rod or door frame

Hang shirts, dresses, and lighter garments on hangers and suspend them from a shower rod, curtain rod, or door frame to air dry.

Why It Works

Hanging on a hanger lets the garment keep its shape while drying, which reduces wrinkles and often eliminates the need for ironing. This method is especially effective for button-down shirts, blouses, and dresses.

Tips

• Use padded or wide-shoulder hangers for knits and delicates to prevent hanger marks
• Button the top button of shirts so they hold their collar shape
• Place a towel on the floor underneath to catch drips
• This method works best for lighter fabrics; heavy items like jeans or towels may stretch on hangers
