Spring Closet Cleaning Tips from Barbara Reich

03/16/2012 by The Mama Maven

Courtesy of Resourceful Consultants

Spring may not be “officially” here  yet calendar-wise, but it’s time to get your closet ready! NYC based Professional Organizer Barbara Reich of Resourceful Consultants gave us some great tips to do this!

Spring Cleaning your closet – “The One Hour Plan”

1. Take it out; shake it out

  • Take out all heavy coats and sweaters
  • Take out any clothes/shoes that you didn’t wear last year and can’t see yourself wearing this year.
  • Take out any clothes/shoes that don’t fit, are in poor condition, will never fit, are no longer in style. Be ruthless…

2. Maintain and move

  • Assess whether any clothing maintenance is required on winter coats and sweaters…do buttons need tightening, do the coats need to be washed or professionally cleaned, are the sweaters pilled?
  • Consider moving heavy clothing to another closet (rack in basement, another closet, under bed storage).
  • Make piles to donate, discard, take to cleaners, wash

3. Group like things together

  • Put all of your spring/summer sweaters together. Fold or hang by color.
  • Do the same for pants, short sleeve tops, long sleeve tops
  • Hang as much as possible, it’s the easiest to see what you have

4. Put what you wear most in “Prime Real Estate”

  • That means the things you wear most should be in the place that’s most accessible and easiest to reach.

5. Make a List

  • Never buy without a plan.
  • Did you discard something that needs to be replaced (e.g., white button down that was looking gray, white cardigan)?
  • Is there something you really need?
