Have you ever been in a situation, where you can’t find a specific belt or a jacket when you’re in a hurry or your closet is full of clothes which you no longer wear? Oh, girl! These are signs that your wardrobe needs to get back into shape. We know that cleaning your closet can be daunting, but it’s a necessary evil that must be done once in a while.
Ideally, you must clean your closet at least once a year or from season to season. What you loved in 2017 might not be something you want to wear today. So, before you purchase online or head out to buy some more clothes it’s time to declutter.
Fret not! If you don’t know where to start. Well, we have got some tips to help you clean out your closet just like a pro.
4 Easy Closet Cleaning Tips
1. Empty your wardrobe:

Pull out everything from your closet – your clothes, bags, shoes, accessories, even empty your drawers and boxes. Just remove everything and pile it on your bed.
2. Categorise your stuff:

The next thing is to categorise your clothing, shoes and accessories. Set rules for what you want to keep and what you want to ditch. Be brave and ask yourself some questions to sort out –
• Does this item have some sentimental value?
Yes! You have to ask yourself does this item make you happy when you wear it or are you just simply holding on to it?
• When was the last time I wore it?
Another essential question. If you haven’t worn a certain pair of heels or accessories or a piece of clothing (except occasional wears) last year, you won’t wear them in the upcoming year as well. So, it’s better to donate/ditch them and make some space for new ones.
• Does it fit me now?
Your once perfectly fitted jeans might not fit you today. So there’s no point in keeping them, no matter how much you love them.
• Is this item trending or outdated?
Firstly, you need to figure out if this item still trending or outdated. Because not all outdated items will come back in trend again. So if you feel some of your items are outdated, then it’s the right time to let them go.
• Is this dress/shoes in good condition to be worn again?
There might be many items there are not in good condition to be worn again. So keep them only if they are repairable and you would wear them.
• Is this item my style?
Sometimes we all have done shopping disasters and if you feel certain items aren’t your style then it’s time for charity.
3. Clean your wardrobe:

Take advantage of your empty closet and start cleaning. First clean the entire inside of the wardrobe and drawers, by using natural cleaning products. You can also add some form of moth protection. Try avoiding wire hangers as they may misshape your clothes, instead opt for skinny hangers which won’t take up too much room.
4. Organise your closet:

Yeah, this is the last step of your closet decluttering journey. It’s time to put all the stuff back in your closet and organise them as needed. You can store the essentials separately and occasionally wears you can store the essentials separately and occasional wear separately away from your everyday wardrobe. Pack your occasional wears carefully using acid-free tissue papers to keep them in a good condition.
So now you are equipped with these simple tips to declutter, go ahead and clean out your closet just in time. Happy Cleaning!
