Closet City offers Tips for keeping your closets organized

The easiest way to gain back control of your closet space is to take stock of its contents. Be merciless in your judgements!

Discard:

• Permanently stained items
• Clothes tattered or torn beyond repair
• Shoes the cobbler would laugh at
• Old, metal hangers (this eliminates sagging clothes and potential rust stains)

Donate to a charity:

• Your over-supply of paining and gardening clothes
• Clothing you "can't part with" but never wear
• Less-than-current, quality fashions
• Clothing you've been "dienting" to get into - for years
• Items "on the verge" of comming back into style - for years.

Maintaining closets is easy - here are some suggestions:

• Fold, never hang, sweaters adn knits; avoid squashing shelf items
• Everyday shoes can go on lower shelves: special occasion shoes should be boxed, labeled, and stored on higher shelves
• Store purses flat and stuffed with tissue to retain their shape; if you haven't used a purse in 2 years, give it away
• Store scarves neatly folded on an eye-level shelf for easy selection (or hang on the pegs of a retractable tie rack)
• Rotate "stock" - as you add new items, discard under used clothes

Eliminate wasted space - dress for the body you have now rather than having clothes in your closets that are not being functional. This allows room for everything else to be visible and easy to access.
