Cleaning Out Your Closet

This month begins our 5th year of cleaning out closets!  

Our best tip is to clean our your closet with an honest friend. Here are a few more:

1. Pull items out of your closet and go to a room in your home with the best light to make your decisions. You will quickly identify items with those little balls on them, holes, rips, tears, stains, ring around the collar. 

2. Place like items together before you purge - like with like. Do you have 9 pairs of clogs? 11 pairs of flip flops? It's hard to make a decision on which items to keep if you have them stored in every closet in the house. Round all of them them up in one place. 

3. Decide what to keep by choosing your top five must-haves in each category. Then, put them away in your closet. Go back to the pile and pick a few more. Be honest with yourself. You are 1 person. How many days are in the week before you wash and hang it back in your closet? How often do you need to wear it?
