Instructions
A Bit About Closet Organizers
1. Understand what it's made of. The cloth closet organizer consists of a pair of long, wide, vertical strips of fabric, connected by several (usually six or more) shorter horizontal strips of the same material. This forms a series of vertically aligned cubical storage areas. Hooks at the top of the organizer allow the device to be hung from the clothes rod in your closet. Some more elaborate models are larger and have multiple rows of shelves, divided into different sizes. Many models also have pockets on the sides for storing smaller items.
2. Once it has been hung up in your closet, the organizer may be easily positioned to one side, allowing the rest of the closet to continue to be used for hanging clothes.
3. Alternatively, multiple cloth closet organizers may be hung side by side, if the space is not needed for clothes hangers. The organizer can be used to store a wide variety of items, such as folded clothing, towels, sheets, shoes, or any number of lightweight household supplies.
4. Small, loose items, such as spools of thread, are best put in a small box or bag before being placed in the organizer for storage.
Pros and Cons of Cloth Organizers
5. The biggest advantage to using this type of spacesaver, is that it can easily be installed or removed as needed, without making any permanent alterations to the closet. No screws, nails, or drilling are involved. The organizer is also easily moved form one closet to another, as needed, and may be reused as often as desired. When not in use, it may be completely collapsed, takes up very little space, and is extremely light in weight. If the organizer becomes soiled, most models may be cleaned in an ordinary washing machine.
6. The main disadvantages of using cloth organizers are that they are not suitable for storing heavy items such as books, canned goods, or power tools. Furthermore, as cloth organizers are open to the air, they cannot protect belongings from damage by moisture or moths.
7. Cloth organizers are typically sold at major retailers specializing in home décor, or home improvement supplies. They are not generally very expensive, typically costing from $10 to $20 and are available in many sizes, styles and colors. Shop around, before buying. Major discount stores also typically carry them.
