We have a problem which I'm sure others will have had ..... and found a remedy !!

The coat hangers falling off the rail in transit, then clothes all over wardrobe ( and creased) when you arrive !!!

We have been looking for some coat hangers - the type that fasten securely to the rail - hotel type. Not having much luck so far...

Can anyone suggest where to get them from or other inventive ways to keep the clothes in place

Hi

We've found that the best way for us is to use a strip of non slip matting (the type you put under rugs or line cupboards with to stop everything sliding around en route).

We place the strip on top of the clothes rail and place the hangers on top of it. It's cheap and works a treat.

Hi

try pegging the clothes on the hangers this stops them falling off.

Away next weekend so think we will try the mat grippers, as we have some left over.

Will let you know how we get on..

Thanks for the suggestions.....

Get a bungay tie - the stretch elasticated rope type stuff with a hook on either end. Simply wind it around the neck of the hangers and clip the hooks together!

Remember the net curtain wire and hooks and eyes?

Screw an eye about 6mm above the rail at each side of the wardrobe. Cut a piece of curtain wire and fit a hook into each end.   The wire should be cut to a length tah needs only about 10 mm stretch, otherwise it may pull the eyes out of the wardrobe wall.   After loading clothes onto the rail, fit the curtain wire in place, above the hooks of the hangers.  Then just remove and store it on arrival.
