How is your cleaning going? This past week was week 7 and that is the cleaning of my coat closet and what we call "The Bermuda Triangle"...everyone has that area. In our house, this is the area between our foyer, dining room, den and powder room...the area that I sort and fold laundry, sort things into baskets that need carried up or down. We are always find spare items in this area that do not have a home. Do you have this area? It's that time to clean it up, purge it out....get it done!
Coat Closet
__ Sort the clothing items. Remove all coats, shoes and hats that you and your family members no longer wear for whatever reason (wrong size, don't like it, no longer needed). Donate or sell these items. If the closet is still too full, you need to find new homes for items, put things in seasonal storage or toss and donate more.
__ Teach family to hang up their own items; coats, backpacks, bags, etc...
__ Place a Toss/Donate box, bin or hamper in the hallway closet if you have room.
**Tips**
If your coat closet is so full you have trouble putting your coats away, you have too much in it and need to cut down. Try storing out-of-season coats and jackets in a storage bin or another closet if you have the room.
Stay Organized
Every 3-6 months
___ Empty your Toss/Donate box
Once a Year
__ Sort the coats in your hall closet. Donate any coats that no longer fit or have been replaced by a new coat. Do the same with hats and scarves.
Don't forget to tackle the Bermuda Triangle!
Grab a bin and toss in what has wandered into that area. Could be items with no home, spare socks, etc....grab it up!
