Stop wasting time (and money) untangling (or replacing) another hose.
Kinks and knots can make watering your plants or washing
your car a lot harder. Plus, they'll wear out your hose faster. Follow
these tips to keep your hose tangle free.
First, taking the extra few minutes to coil your hose around a rack when you're done using it will end up saving you the time (and headache) of untangling or de-kinking it next time you go to use it.
