Hi Pamela - This is one of my favorite articles on cleaning, organizing and decluttering. It really breaks down the steps of the process, and even includes an interview with TV show Hoarders star Matt Paxton. Hope this helps! Hugs, Holly
Try "Tidying" on Netflix really great show for this. I pretty much do her process anyway except thanking my items for their time with me, 😋 But that's cute. I like the concept of that, gratitude in everything is always better.
I have a post about my process for decluttering my tiny linen closet. The concept can be applied to other closets. Perhaps the process can work for your closet too? Good luck! https://everydayoldhouse.com/organize-tiny-linen-closet/
I would begin by removing everything from a closet. Make 3 piles, DONATE, TRASH, and KEEP. Only put back what you really want. Use clear bins with labels and hangers that are all the same. The secret to decluttering is to only keep what you love.
I usually make 3 piles: Keep, donate, and trash. I ask myself if I am going to miss it...is there sentimental value. If so, I keep it. If not, I ask myself if it is useful...will someone else use it. If so, donate. If not, I throw it away. I hope this is helpful!
Pull everything out and then install a cabinet organizer. There are many available on the market. You will need someone to help you install but once done you will be amazed at the results. Measure the length of your closet and start shopping.
You need 3 bins, 1 for donate, 1 for keep, and 1 for trash. Start by deciding if you love it or not, if you do you keep it, if you can do without it then donate it. Clutter weighs you down. You won't believe how good you feel when you get rid of half of the clutter.
Hi Pamela, sort out what you want to keep, donate and toss what you no longer want, put an organizer in your closet and stick to it when putting items away. Hope this helps you out
I do like to toss everything into a pile and deal with a piece of clothing one by one. Sort them into those I want to keep, those that are ruined beyond repair, and those that can be donated - still in a good state (no holes, threads) but wouldn't feel right to throw away.
Start by removing everything from the closet. Toss what you don't need and use plastic organizers with labels to organize what you are saving. Use hooks on the walls to hang backpacks, bags or other hanging objects. Keep the floor clean, use a shoe rack or large basket for shoes. :)
You will need to remove everything first. Decide what you are keeping/trashing/and donating. I would use large plastic bins you can see through to organize what you are putting back in the closet. Hooks on the door or a shoe rack on the door will help too! I love to declutter!
We have a reach in closet in our bedroom and each end has a 12" return. It may not seem like a lot but with so little closet space I need all of it to work efficientl...

I would make piles of things you want to keep, toss, and donate and then get some bins/baskets for helping to organize the things you're keeping

Empty the closet and only put back imm those items that you have worn in the past year. This is a good way to begin.
