How to a Clean Closet Storage
Closets accumulate quite a bit of stuff as time goes by. Sometimes stuff is placed in the closet and forgotten about. By cleaning your closet out, you will be able to take inventory of what you have in there. It is also a good time to donate anything you no longer need, and add organizers if you need more storage options.
Items Needed
- Cardboard boxes
- Marker
- Vacuum
- Cleaning cloth
- Closet organizers (optional)
Instructions
- Start with a clean work area.
- Label your boxes. One will be storage, another garbage, and another donation.
- Bring everything out of the closet.
- While your closet is empty, you will want to clean it. Dust off the surfaces of any shelves and vacuum. If you have various closet organizers you want to use, the best time to place them in is while the closet is empty. Set them up in the spots of your choosing.
- Start to sort through the stuff that was in your closet. Check each item to see if you still want or need it. If not, you will need to decide if it's donation or garbage. You will not want to donate anything that no longer works or is damaged. If you do want to keep it, you need to decide if it's going back in the closet or if it belongs in storage.
- Sort through all the items in your closet, adding them to organizers if needed.
- When you are done, you can then donate the box of items that you no longer need. The garbage box can be disposed of. For items that are going into storage, you might want to place into a plastic box with lid for better protection.
