Recycle Dry Cleaner Hangers

This is just a quick tip. This morning I was walking to the Washington Metro when I passed a dry cleaner with a sign asking for recycled hangers. Anyone who has had their clothes dry cleaned on a few occasions knows the metal hangers they give you with your clean clothes can add up pretty quickly. If you're not using those hangers at home, bring them back with you to the dry cleaner the next time you get some clothes cleaned so they can reuse them rather than wasting more.

Also, ask your dry cleaner if they use environmentally safe methods for cleaning clothes. There are plenty of places that now offer the option to use less toxic chemicals rather than the extremely dangerous chemicals that have been used for years. Make sure you always choose the safer alternative.
