Some toys or clothing belong in a sentimental box rather than in a working closet.
Organizational specialist and author Brenda Kinsel shares tips for making closet cleaning easy and effective.

  • You need support for making difficult purging decisions, so invite your friends over for a closet cleaning party.

  • Do your homework. Write a list of the things you are moving away from and the direction in which you want your closet to go.

  • A garment rack makes it easier to go through the questionable clothes.

  • Have a sentimental box for clothing items that have emotional rather than practical value.

  • Organize clothes by color, from light to dark.

  • Use the same type of hangers throughout the whole closet.
