Clean Your Closet the Cool Cat Way

September 29, 2008

Alright, Cool Cats… it’s time to roll your sleeves up and tackle one of the biggest messes facing most rooms: the closet! This messy place is super tough to keep clean because it’s what we like to call a “shove-away” area. It’s out of the way and, when you’re in a pinch and it’s the last thing on your list, most Cool Cats are tempted to shove the rest of the mess in the closet and be done with their cleaning.

Here are some tips for de-cluttering the biggest clutter space:

  • Clear out clothes. This is the hardest thing to do because we all love our clothes and don’t want to let go of them. But if you don’t wear them, they’re just making extra mess. If you haven’t worn it in six months, hand it down to a sibling or donate it to charity!
  • Box or shelf? There’s a lot of clutter in most closets. The best place to put it is either in a box or on a shelf. Boxes are neat, easy to label and stack up nice. Shelves are for stuff you use more often and want to get to. Decide how often you use some of your closet clutter… box up the stuff you don’t use and shelve the rest.
  • Fix hanger hang-ups. Hangers tend to go empty in your closet or fall to floor when you yank something off them. See how many hangers you need and use and put the rest somewhere else.
  • Add smart Savings Goals. Create a custom Savings Goal and ask your parents for one nice set of plastic drawers or a shelf. Put this on the floor of your closet to help you get organized.
  • Just shoe it! You may want to get a hanging shoe rack for your closet to clear a lot of floor space. There are great racks that hang from the closet rod or from the back of the closet door.

This is the nastiest chore, but not one you have to do too often if you do it right and if you keep it up!
