Does anybody know if you can hang damp clothes on these (e.g. they won't rust)? I usually "damp dry" my sweaters/knits in the dryer first.

While I don't use these hangers for drying, based on how they are made I don't think you will have any problems with drying on them. The hanger is covered with plastic like material so there is nothing there that would cause discoloration or rusting. This is based purely on my educated guess since I only use the hangers for hanging dry clothing. Generally, I am very happy with these hangers. They do very well for my sweaters.

Yes, they are safe to use for hanging damp clothes. I have done it without a problem.

I "damp dry" sweaters, knits and silk blouses on these hangers and I have yet to have a problem. No shoulder marks and I have never seen rust on any of my clothes. I just ordered another 2 sets of 12 hangers - they are the best. I am replacing all of my padded hangers with these.

I find them fairly quick to dry. I haven't hand washed though, only machine. They do come virtually dry from the machine so if you have a warmish spot to put them overnight I think they would be fine. I would test them at home first, and take two pairs so you can rotate if they are still damp.

Not fair for me to answer. I live in the dry Arizona desert. I also don't hang soaking wet things on it.I put my clothes in the dryer with a softening sheet for 15 to 30 minutes then hang to finish drying, and hang wrinkles out. Hope this helps.

I have just washed them with the rest of the laundry in either cold or warm water. Most of the time in the winter I use drying racks to add more humidity to the indoor air so thus far I have not dried them in the dryer. They do dry quite quickly being air dried.

I am not sure. I have never done this. I have never had any lint problem with them from any type clothing, but have never gotten them wet. I have three full closets of them (5 boxes) and love the way they look. They are sturdy enough for blazers. Sorry to not be more help.

They dry in about an hour in the dryer. I've never hung them to dry, though.

I wash them on gentle in cold water and dry them for 10 minutes at regular heat in the dryer then hang them to finish drying. :-)

I have some similar cloths I bought elsewhere and I got ripped off but they also said don't dry with fabric softener. So I'll remember, I wash them in my regular wash, with the usual underwear, sox, etc. But I put them in a lingerie bag so I notice them when I'm putting things in the dryer. When I see them, I immediately put them aside and hang them on a rack to dry. And I think these are like mine so they take little time to dry. Hope this might help!

I put them in the washing machine but hang them to dry not put them in dryer.

Yes, wash them with like fabrics such as workout clothes, nothing with cotton in it and then hang dry. They can be used a very long time until they need to be washed.

I think I've put them through the dishwasher at least once, although I usually just rinse off the one I just used and hang them up on the hook over my oven right away. No sign of rust at all and sometimes, it is still a little damp when I hang them up. She must have gotten a bad one. I love these.

I don't think putting them in a dryer would be a good idea. I have a holder I created with floral foam and really tall sticks that I put my gloves on to dry just in case I get water inside them.

Mine haven't, only washed them a couple times, cold water, only put them in a dryer for a few minutes. They hang dry really quickly.

Yes, I dry them in the dryer on permanent press or delicate. You have to remove them promptly when done as they will wrinkle. That said I have left them in the dryer and after hanging them up they were fine.

No problem :) I also dry them on low heat then let it air dry if it's still damp. I don't know what the manufacturer recommends but so far mine have held up.

I use mine for drip-drying my clothes. I hang them from end-to-end and haven't had any problems. However, I'm not hanging heavy jeans or other heavy items. Mostly tops, capris, and dress pants. Hope this helps!

I wash them in the machine, under "sterilization." It works well. I do NOT dry them. I let them air-dry.
