How to Make Closet Cleanups Fun and Easy
So summer is just around
the corner, and for most people this means it is time to pull out
the shorts, tank tops, and of course their favorite flip-flops.
For most people this also
means rummaging through their closet, to sort out the right clothes
they will wear this time of year. This is when disaster begins! Many
people discover that their closets have turned into a storage area
resembling an old library: except that instead of books, it contains
clothes dating back to the time when their mothers picked out their
clothes for them!
So what do you do with this giant mess? There are ways to make
closet cleanup easier, and here are some steps that will help:
1. First of all you have to clean your closet! Remove all of the
contents from the closet and lay them on your bed so you can sort
through them later.
Once all the clothes have been taken out of the closet, clean the
inside of your closet before putting any clothes back inside –
remembering that it probably has been ages since this was done. Make
sure that to do a good job and clean your closet thoroughly.
2. Now comes the hardest part; sorting the clothes. This is when a
person has to decide which clothes to keep, and which ones to get
rid of. Clothes should be separated into piles and then sorted
according to the amount of use.
One of the best things that results from cleaning out the closet is
that often it becomes an opportunity to make some money. Clothes
that individuals would never wear again can be sold at a garage sale
or auctioned on EBay!
Those who are thinking of putting their old clothes on EBay for sale
should take a detailed photograph of the items they wish to sell, so
it can be displayed along with the description of the item.
People will be amazed at how even old clothes that might not be in
top condition will still find buyers on EBay. So when you write a
brief description of these items, be honest about their condition.
Include the size, brand, condition of the garment, color, and other
information that will be useful to the buyer.
Individuals should not expect to get a high price for these used
clothes; so list a practical starting price for these items to make
them more appealing to a prospective buyer.
3. If you are in a charitable mood forget EBay; donate your used
clothes to a charity. This way, the clothes you no longer want or
need, can be given to those who really need them!
4. Another great idea is to swap clothes with your friends! Not only
will this help clean out the closet; in return you will also items
that are new to you and put them in your closet!
5. Once you have disposed of all of your unnecessary (or unused)
garments the items that you have saved can now be put back in the
closet. Arrange the placement of the clothes you are returning to
the closet according to their function and usability.
Sweaters and coats may be tucked away in the corner of the closet;
as well as other garments that will not be used in the near future.
You may even discover clothes that you have forgotten you own!
Clothes that will most frequently be used should be readily
accessible. Your closet will now be organized!
When organizing the closet take an inventory and determine what
garments are lacking in your wardrobe
One other thing, soiled and dirty clothes should be laundered before
they are put back in the closet - even old clothes in your closet
will then be clean.
Closet cleanups are a must! It may not be fun, but it is a chore
that must be done even if it might to be painful to dispose of some
items. Just think of how much time you will save in the morning when
you do not have to rummage through your closet looking through your
closet looking for your favorite sweater – it will be right there in
front of you, newly laundered, and neatly folded!
