Stop the press! Woman uses coat hangers!

[Beadpark]

I won't link to the Daily Fail. Suffice to say that there is an article about this amazing "hack" this woman has shared. She hangs clothes on hangers, then puts them on her airer. This way she saves energy (on ironing) and time (on folding clothes from the airer, ironing them and then hanging them in the wardrobe).
To quote an extract - she "has found a way to dry clothes more effectively on a clothes horse by using hangers to hang items which takes up less space." There are photos, and a video of clothes on hangers being put on the airer.
Well, that's amazing. Nobody ever thought of that before did they?
Does anyone else feel like sharing blindingly obvious "hacks" that they've been doing for ages, or maybe even watched their parents do?
Here's mine. When I take my socks off the airer (where they didn't need a coat hanger) I pair them up and fold the tops over together to keep them in their pairs. Saves me so much time when I want to put socks on. My partner has never seen this hack before and is going to make a video for Insta.
Oh, and sometimes I hang things on hangers and... wait for it... put them on the clothes line to dry that way. 😮

Your pairing your socks all wrong!
Army roll them, saves so much space.
My kids used to call them ‘sock babies’.
I might do a YouTube tutorial, to educate the masses

There’s a Facebook group called ‘take a shite’ where they post all the take a break ‘top tips’.
Some of them are mental 🤣

Ah ... Viz Top Tips ... 'a piece of elastic with a blob of toothpaste is a cheap alternative to chewing gum'.

Wild, I put the kids shirts for school on hangers and then hang them all over the shower rail. Saves loads of dryer room and scents the bathroom with that ‘clean laundry’ smell … bonus, no air freshener needed! Maybe I should send that to Take a Break, it’s got to be worth £50… 😂

Me and DD love it! Some things seem like common sense and not worth printing but most are completely bonkers and probably made up (there's one person who seems to have loads of tips published. She must be minted getting £25 for each crap idea!)

I remember one of these - this woman had “saved time on ironing” by buying her clothes a size too small.

Sometimes it was hard to tell the difference between the Take a Break tips and the Viz tips!

When some youngster does a money saving hack that they have just discovered but our grandparents were widely doing it 50 years ago. It's as though they have invented it. Bless.

The Daily Mail has a very accurate view of their readers' intelligence.

My favourite was that you came demist your windscreen by using (wait for it) the de mister feature in your car. Seriously, some people shouldn't be allowed a driving licence

Whoops I obviously hadn't RTFT!

Sweet divine Jesus, the world has gone mad.

You’re weird
Hanging things up in a ‘wardrobe’????????

I have a two part sock pairing hack:

1. Pick up one sock and pick up another sock. No time wasted pairing, no worrying if they don’t match, no worrying about how the matching sock has disappeared between going into and coming out of the wash
2. I have a lot of black socks Theres a high chance of picking up two random matching socks

My favourite TAB which had me laughing till the tears ran, was a woman who suggested using a pitta bread for a clutch bag.
Still, I suppose you could eat it if you feel peckish after a night out.
Visions of someone wearing sanitary protection on their feet while fashioning a clutch bag out of a pitta bread 😂

@Mentalpiece that surely must have been a wind up though?
Did it have stick on gems on it?
1 person allegedly took the plastic insert tray from a box of chocolates and sprayed it gold and then hung it up as a "trendy" wall decoration. All their imaginary friends loved it!

It's not the same - but though MN I found Washing Line Hanger Hooks exist - which for DH jackets in summer lien drying could mean less ironing and trying to get shaped back right and as I have a collapsible shelve airer above a de-humidifier which I hand clothes on coat hangers could make it easier to transfer to outside line and inside.

Apparently some here had been making their own versions for years for plastic bottles.

I would like to think so, but these days who knows? 😂

What???? 😮

Actually, I wouldn't have thought of that... far too sensible for this thread!

Ds has a hack. He just leaves all his clean clothes on the floor when he gets them back after washing so he doesn't have to expend energy putting the clothes away only to have to expend more energy getting them out again.
