Do you have a sagging metal closet rod that no longer runs straight and true because the weight of too many clothes has bent your rods into a “U”? Telescoping metal rods are convenient and easy to install, but often they give in to heavy weight when suspended wall-to-wall. When hollow telescoping metal rods begin to sag because you’ve hung a little too much on them, you can bring them back, and up to snuff, by unscrewing the metal rod from the wall and inserting a slightly smaller diameter wooden-dowel rod inside. Use one that’s cut about a half-inch shorter that the width of the closet. Put it back in place. It'll be straight and true. And that’s the On The House tip for today.
