A few tips to be rid of Closet Clutter


Have you found yourself slowly becoming a bit of a hoarder? Fearing that you might soon end up on tv for keeping your ragged old clothes that you used to hold dear to you, and now just seem to be taking up space?

Fall is the perfect time to clean out your home. Cleaning out your closets regularly will save you time and energy and keep you from feeling overwhelmed by the task later on. Also if your closets are packed full, then you may hesitate to update your wardrobe.

Here are some tips to help you organize and unclutter your closet:

- If you haven't worn them in over a year, you're not going to, get rid of them.
- Put your out of season clothes in storage.
- If you're not sure about whether to keep some clothes or not, try them on, it will help make a decision.
- Buy good hangers: wire hangers don’t give good support and leave marks on your clothes.
If space permits, add a bar for shirts and pants, or a closet organizer.

When you clean your closets on a regular basis, you may find you don’t need some of the clothing you thought you did. And you’ll actually wear and enjoy the clothes you do have. Take the clothes to a clothing drive or donate them to others that still can enjoy them, it will make you feel really good about a hard decision.

What’s more, cleaning out your closets is a small but important step towards clearing the way to move into your next home. Remember your last move? Rememeber how you said you hated packing? Get rid of the clothes now that you don't really need. If you’d like more information on getting rid of clutter in your home, please don’t hesitate to email or call.
