# Dry Cleaning Clothing Hangers This Smart Clothing Hanger Conveniently Doubles as a Dry Cleaner By Kyle Towers | Published 2013-02-17 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clothing-hanger References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2013/02/13/a-literal-dry-clean/) The Smart Hanger is the ultimate clothing hanger in that it [dry cleans your clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laundry-system) 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.
