IKEA KRÄNGA and BUMERANG wooden hangers specify wiping with a damp cloth followed by a dry one. Wood finishes, lacquer and metal hooks vary by product, so follow your own hanger's instructions.

Your try-it-at-home checklist

0 / 6 done

Remove the clothes and inspect dust along the wooden shoulders, notches and metal hook.
Check for rough edges, cracks or splinters. Stop using a hanger that could snag fabrics.
Dust with a dry cloth, then gently wipe with a lightly damp cloth if permitted, as for IKEA KRÄNGA and BUMERANG.
Do not immerse the hanger or spray it with water; avoid unapproved cleaners and abrasive pads.
Dry the wood and metal hook with a clean cloth and leave it to dry fully before hanging garments again.
Return it to the closet, selecting hangers that suit garment shape and weight. Consider replacing hangers with bent or damaged hooks.
