The Moving Hanger

Hang clothes on the moving hanger using the hangers provided with the appliance, or use any plastic or metal hanger that hooks snugly into the indentations in the moving hanger.Use the moving hanger for suits, coats, jackets, blouses, dresses, skirts, and pants that don’t require a crease.
