Stuffed Closets

Closets get full so fast today making it hard to keep our clothes looking neat, clean and fresh. Even if you are good at hanging your clothes up when you take them off it doesn’t do a lot of good if you then stuff those pants into a closet where they can’t breathe and get wrinkled from the congestion.

Closets need to be cleaned out every season at least to allow enough room for proper care of the clothes you do wear. There are many benefits associated with having enough room for your clothes. You will save yourself a lot of time ironing. Pants or shirts stuffed into a closet get wrinkles. You find that shirt you want to wear but when you pull it out of the closet it is so wrinkled that it needs ironing. You don’t feel like ironing so you find a shirt that doesn’t need ironing. This shirt might not match the pants you planned on wearing so now you have to choose pants to match and hope they aren’t wrinkled. Meanwhile you have added time and work to getting dressed and if you go through this every day it really adds up. It makes much more sense to take the time to clean your closet of unused clothing.

Let’s face it most people have too many clothes today especially clothes they never wear that lurk around taking up valuable space. Closets get out of hand so quickly particularly during busy times. What can really get your closet in bad shape is putting clothes back in there after wearing that need some attention. They may have a spot that needs cleaning, a button that is loose or a loose hem.
It is eye opening to go through a stuffed closet and look at every piece of clothing and think about the last time you wore it. If you haven’t worn it for a long time determine why. The reasons can be many: it’s outdated, you don’t like the way it fits now but when you lose that 5 lbs. it will fit nice, it has a stain or you just never feel like wearing it. Decide what needs to go to free up space and either get rid of it or move it to another storage area so that the clothes you do wear have a better chance of looking nice and fresh.

Once you have cleared out your closet organize your clothing so that your shirts, pants, dresses are each in their own section. Make sure that you have the proper hanger for each garment as their shape can be ruined by using the wrong hanger.
