If your consignment, resale or thrift shop is full of screechy sounds, if your fingers are full of black dirt, if your merchandise ends up with marks… it’s the accumulated soil and dust on your hangrods.
Here’s how to wax them. And no, it does NOT involve wax as such. Don’t let anyone tell you so.
This is actually a very soothing thing to do in your shop. Especially if you need a little meditation time after that last challenging interaction….

[…] customers? You’ve vacuumed and waxed the rods and are bored silly? Feel like you’re in a ghost […]
I tried to use car wax on the racks, thinking it would last longer. Don’t try it. At first it seemed to work, but over time I noticed a build up of small areas of dirty wax that were not slippery. There’s something magical about the way wax paper cleans and coats the racks.
That’s why I wrote (and photographed 😉 ) this post… so many people think they’re supposed to apply some sort of paste wax and it makes a mess… that tiny bit of “wax” from the paper does it! (And just think: you could even lick the racks, if you wanted to 😉 )
…Because if you leave the word “clothing” out, it sounds fairly racy, Kate!
Like waxing hot rods. you mean? I have attended WAY too many car shows to be into THAT 🙂
