Have you been feeling overwhelmed by your messy cupboard? Struggling to decide what to keep, donate, or discard can be tough. Luckily, Realign Pro is here to help you with expert organisational resources.
In this post, we’ll teach you why it’s essential to clean out your closet and provide expert home organising tips.
Why is Cleaning Up My Closet important?
At Realign Pro, we believe that cleaning up your closet helps you feel more in control. Tidying up your closet makes daily decision-making a whole lot easier. It is a form of decluttering your life. Decluttering makes life stress-free!
Let us discuss a few ways to achieve organised living.
Five Steps to Cleaning Up My Closet
Sorting
Start by asking yourself what you have worn in the past three weeks. You would likely wear these items again. Keep these in your closet or start decluttering. Relevance is key.
Pack Away or Donate
Pack away items of clothing that aren’t in season and or that you haven’t worn in the past six months. If you’re reading this in summer, pack away warmer items like jackets, coats, and heavy trousers. The items that you’ve put aside that you haven’t worn can be donated to non-profits, shelters, or old-age homes around your area.
Organise
Tidy up by hanging up or folding clothing, then categorising it into garments. For instance, you might hang up t-shirts and dresses, but store socks and swimming costumes in a drawer. It is useful to hang your clothing so that you have a clear view of what you’d like to wear. Folding makes this task more daunting and a messy closet becomes inevitable.
Items that you can’t hang up – like underwear, swimwear, and accessories – can be put in your drawers. Keep your day-to-day footwear within easy reach. For instance, house slippers and a simple pair of sneakers.
Keep It Neat
Cleaning up, even if you deep clean, and packing away or downsizing, is one thing. Keeping it that way is another. Using small bins for your underwear and socks, or hooks for your jewellery, organises your items and ensures that they stay neat. You might use this opportunity to declutter your closet further by colour-coding different tools for different items.
Periodic Reviews
Schedule a few hours once a month to clean out your closet and build a habit. We feel more relaxed in an organised environment and can perform at our bests.
