An online wardrobe detox and closet cleanout is an essential part of any organizing project. Whether you’re just moving into a new house or trying to declutter your closet, giving it a good clean out can make all the difference. Here are 15 steps to help you complete a closet cleanout with ease:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Start by removing everything from your closet and sorting items into categories such as clothing, shoes, accessories and miscellaneous items. This will give you an idea of how much space you have available for organization.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Clean out any dirt, dust or cobwebs that have accumulated on shelves and in corners. Vacuum and wipe down surfaces with appropriate cleaners if needed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Go through each item individually and decide if you want to keep it or let it go. Ask yourself questions such as \u201cIs this something I use often?\u201d and \u201cDoes this still fit me?\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Set aside all items that need to be repaired, mended or washed. You can do this later, but for now just set them aside in a separate pile so you can focus on the closet cleanout process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Put all of your clothing items into piles based on type (dresses, tops, jeans etc.), then sort further by color within each pile if desired. This makes everything easier to find when needed!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Put any shoes away in their own shoe bin or rack and organize any accessories such as jewelry or scarves in small boxes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. If you have closet shelves and drawers, use those to store items that can\u2019t be hung up. This will save valuable closet space.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Take a few moments to evaluate how much closet space you have left after sorting all of your items into their appropriate piles\/bins\/drawers etc., as this will help you determine what else needs to be stored elsewhere or donated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. Store away any off-season clothing in airtight containers with moth repellant (optional). This will keep them free from dust and dirt, and it also helps maximize closet space for the current season\u2019s wardrobe!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. Hang up any clothing items that can be hung, then organize by type and color if desired.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  11. If closet space is limited, consider investing in a closet organizer system such as adjustable shelving or closet cubes to help maximize storage options.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  12. Place all miscellaneous items such as extra hangers, shoes boxes or empty bins in the back of your closet so they won\u2019t be seen right away when you open the closet door.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  13. Once everything has been sorted and put away, give your closet one last sweep with a vacuum cleaner to make sure no dirt was missed during the cleaning process (especially near crevices).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  14. Get rid of any closet items that you no longer need or want. Donate them to a local charity, if possible, re-sell them, or put them in the trash.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  15. Congratulate yourself! You just completed a closet cleanout and now everything is neat and organized \u2013 making it easier for you to find what you\u2019re looking for when needed<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
