Cleaning and organizing closets in the home reduces clutter.
Closets sometimes become the catch all for junk and unused items. Some storage solutions and a regular plan to organize and clean the closets can help to remove unwanted clutter and junk from your home. Whether the closet is in a bedroom or a utility room, the cleaning and organization plan is the same. Does this Spark an idea?
Sort Items
Before organizing the contents of a closet, sort through the items. Create three piles: one pile for items you want to keep, another pile for items that go in the trash and the final pile for items you can donate to charitable organization.
Sorting through clothing can be difficult, but it is necessary to be brutally honest about the items. If you own clothing you haven't worn for a year or more, it is unlikely to become a crucial part of your wardrobe. You may find clothing you forgot or lost in the closet clutter. Keep these items for a few more months to determine if they are a useful part of your wardrobe.
Shelving Systems
Set up shelving systems in your closet to organize the remaining items after the sort. Save space by installing shelving systems, racks and hooks on the back of the door.
Lights
Install lights in the closet to help you find items more easily and reduce the number of items that fall unnoticed to the bottom of the floor. A light also brightens the area and helps you notice when the closet begins to become cluttered.
Regular Planning
Set a schedule to clean out the closets in your home multiple times throughout the year. Store seasonal clothing items to make more room for clothes that are currently in season.
