- First things first, make certain that the room is clean before you begin. If it is not clean then it will be harder organize. You will want this to be an enjoyable experience so turn on your favorite music and get everything you will need ready.
- You will need large clear bags, a marker, tape, medium sized boxes (a size you can lift with ease when full of clothes) and additional hangers if needed. Also make sure you have enough laundry soap, fabric softener, bleach and dryer sheets to clean all the clothes you have. You will also need cleaning supplies for when your closet is empty. Make sure all items are organized and easy to access. Now take a deep breath your ready to begin.
- Take all of your clothes out of your closet and categorize them. You want to weed out clothes that you have not worn in two years first, clothes that don’t fit second and clothes that are no longer in style. ODs are you will never wear any of these clothes again. Then wash all of the undesirable clothes. What’s left in your closet will be the clothes that you want to keep. Try on anything you are uncertain about and ask yourself “Is this a garment I wish to keep?”. You may be surprised at how few clothes you have in your closet you actually wear on a weekly basis. Wash the rest of the clothes you want to keep separately and set them neatly aside for now. This same Principal applies to the clothes you keep in your drawers. After all those clothes are washed your room will smell better than before.
- Step four is all about the clothes you have decided you no longer want. These are the clothes you can give to a charity like The Hope Network. We take your used clothes and recycle them. We accept Men’s Woman’s, Youth, Children’s and infant clothing. From Professional clothing, casual and formal wear to socks and pajamas. Knowing you are doing something good for someone less fortunate will make you feel really good. Adding to the positive experience of getting your closet organized.
- Now all the clothes are out of the closet. Place the clean clothes you no longer want into boxes, label the boxes carefully with the type of clothing that the box contains (this helps us pre-sort the clothes). Once all the clothes are in boxes tape the boxes shut and contact THN to find the nearest drop off center to you. If your whole family is involved or you are working in a group, we can make arrangements for a pick up. (Learn more)
- There will be more stuff in your closet other than clothes. You may have things that just don’t belong in their like a Sock or a child’s toy. Just empty everything completely, and get your cleaning supplies ready.
- Once your closet is empty, scrub it down. You can search other recipes to clean your closet, but soap and water would do fine as anything else.
- Install some book shelves in your closet to put all of your needed things (that may not be clothes) in, some hangers to put your purses etc, and some shoe racks. Also install a hamper to put your dirty clothes in but be sure to clean the clothes often so it won’t overload, and your closet is a sudden mess. Check external links.
- Now organize your clothes by color. It’s easier than JUST organizing it by jeans, tops etc. If you organize by color it’s easier to pick out a coordinate outfit.
- Do not add any unneeded items in your closet , move these things to the attic, basement or storage.These items only clutter up your closet, taking up valuable space. Space which makes your closet seem stuffy, and will eventually lead to another clean.
- Finally once your closet is cleaned out spray down with some Febreeze, or Oust. It’s a nice feeling.
