Dry Cleaning Clothing Hangers

This Smart Clothing Hanger Conveniently Doubles as a Dry Cleaner

— February 17, 2013 — Unique
The Smart Hanger is the ultimate clothing hanger in that it dry cleans your clothing as it hangs.

This would be especially convenient if you had a few of them in your closet. You would never need to take your clothing to the dry cleaners again. You could literally just put your clothing into the closet when you're finished wearing it and it would be ready for you when you got back. With this latest concept it doesn't seem like it will be too much longer until robots and machines do all our dirty work, including laundry. Although I'm sure most busy go-getters out there won't seem to mind.

The clothing hanger concept was designed by Beom-Seok Lee, Dong-Il Kim, Wan-Il So & Ki-Won Song.
