What are some tips for organizing and cleaning your closet?
That's a great question and we're going to talk about that today.
Him there.
I'm Angela Brown and this is Ask A House Cleaner.
This is a show where you get to ask a house cleaning question
and I get to help you find an answer.
Now, today's show is brought to us by Savvy Cleaner Training, which is house cleaning
training for house cleaners and maids and Airbnb hosts that do their own cleaning.
All right, now we have a training program over there that goes into some really specific
details and there are training videos on how to do a deep clean for a closet, how to do
a maintenance clean for a closet, and then if you're an Airbnb host, what your closet
should look like and how you get it ready for your guests.
So it's a deeper training, but I'm going to give you a really condensed version of it
here today.
Okay.
So for a closet, a closet is a place that we visit every single day, a couple of times
a day at the beginning of the day when we get dressed, at the end of the day when we
take our clothes off and we put everything away.
Inside your closet, there should be some form of a laundry program, whether it's a laundry
hamper or laundry baskets or whatever.
If you're lucky and you have enough space, you will have two laundry baskets, one for
light and one for dark clothes.
As you take those clothes off, they go in one of the two respective laundry bins.
So if you sort them as you go, you're saving a step, and that falls into our one-touch program.
Another thing that I might recommend is that you have a space for everything, and by that,
I mean group all of your like items together.
So for example, all of your pants would be in one spot.
All of your shorts would be in one spot.
All of your short sleeve shirts would be in one spot.
All of your tankinis would be in one spot.
Now, while I'm talking about having everything in one spot, I do want to mention that I would
recommend to the felt coat hangers.
The reason for this is stuff won't slide, and so if you have coat hangers that are made
of metal or they're made of plastic, if they don't have the little hooks on the side, if
you have something like this and you bump it, it's going to slide right off and fall
off into your closet, so you want to make sure that you have systems that work for you
so that you're not duplicating your work over and over again.
Then I would suggest that you have a different type of hanger for your pants, for your dress
pants.
Like the pants that I'm wearing right now are not dress pants, but as soon as they come
out of the wash, I hang them up immediately.
The reason that I hang them up, I fold them by the crease of the seam.
I hang them up over here and I have one pair of pants hanging on one pant hanger.
Now, they do have hangers that have multiple slots on them for multiple pairs of pants
and I've tried those over the years and I don't find them effective because they're
too hard to use and so I ended up taking them off and I have like one pair of pants on them
and then I never used them except for one pair of pants.
It's too hard to get the other pants to slide in there and whatever.
It just.
I liked the single hangers and these just have a little thing of plastic on them, and
I will put links to these in the show notes so that you know where to get these and also
the felt hangers, but these grip your pants so that your pants don't slide off either.
So again, you want a system that works.
As far as stuff in your closet because you're going to have either a dresser with all of
your panties and socks and things like that.
Maybe winter gloves or hats or mittens.
Whatever you have, you're going to have different things in your dresser.
If you don't have a dresser, and I don't actually even have a dresser, so what I've done instead
is I use stackable bins.
This is just a plastic stackable bin and this one has socks in it, so when I go to do my
laundry, I fold all the clothes on the bed and I put them all back in the laundry bin.
Then I go inside the closet and I just take all the lids off and I put the panties and
want to put the socks in one.
I put all the different stuff in the different bins and it's just stackable so it's not fancy.
They're not organized like you would see on a Pinterest page.
This is just a very practical approach and you can also use a milk case or whatever,
but it's all organized.
I can see at a glance, and I prefer the plastic bins because I can see at a glance what's
in them.
I've seen these really decorative, elaborate closets where all of the bins are some fancy
design and they may be labeled or whatever, but I can't see with my eyes what's inside
the bins.
So I don't know if what's in there is empty if it's full.
I don't know if somebody has put something away properly.
I can't tell just by looking at the outside of a dark-colored bin.
So I like the clear bins again, because I'm a very practical person and so that's what
I recommend.
And you can get bins in different sizes.
This is a bin that I use for my work clothes.
So whenever I come in from mowing the yard, for example,
my clothes will go through the wash.
I take them off, they go in the laundry.
When they come out of the laundry, these do not go up on a hanger.
Now, these are old work pants that I have used, but now they've become old and they're faded.
So these become my garden pants and so I just fold these up.
They go inside the bin, the lid goes back on it, and now I know at a glance these are
my garden clothes, or my working out in the yard clothes.
So it's a great system for me because every single thing is easy to find.
Now, I wear lots of these blue shirts, I wear them every day in fact, and so my secret to
success is to put these at the very front of the closet.
You want everything that you wear on an everyday basis at the front of the closet and the stuff
that you're not using maybe further back.
If I go to a party and I have a party dress, the party dress is going to be hanging at
the back of the closet.
It's going to be hanging in a closed hanger so that it doesn't collect any dust.
Just when the air conditioning kicks on it blows stuff around your house even if you
have a really clean house.
And so I don't want dust blowing on that because if I go to wear that party dress, I don't
want to have to stop and wipe off all the dust or whatever happens inside your closet.
So put all the stuff that you were at the front of the closet and put this stuff that
you were less at the back of the closet.
That way it's really efficient and when you just step inside your closet, everything that
you need is right there for you.
So I would use a system that is easy, like I say, with the invisible see-through bins,
I can see very quickly what's there, and if I have all my clothes right up front, then
I can easy access them.
When I'm done with my towel from my shower.
I have hooks and I'm a big fan of over the door hooks because I can take a towel that
I'm done using and instead of recycling the towel and washing it after every use.
If I just got out of the shower, I'm clean.
My towel is clean, it's a little bit damp, but it will dry out and I can use that towel
again maybe two or three more times.
So I will hang it up on a hook that's on the back of the door so that I can reuse it again
and it's usually dry by the next time I take my next shower.
So there's another hint for you.
On the door that closes to the closet on the other side of the door, then I have a different
Hook and that is a shoe rack where the little shoe things pop up and I can hook my shoes
and slippers on there.
So when I go in I don't have shoes strewn all about the closet.
I've freed up the floor space and then I have my shoes hanging on the back of the closet
door so I don't see them except when I need them.
Then I just close the door, pick out the shoes I'm wearing.
And there you go.
Everything is organized and put away.
One more tip is I do have a big walk-in closet and that is where I keep my ironing board.
So my ironing board plugs right around the corner into the bathroom and I just do my
ironing right there.
So the ironing board I also use as a table and so if I'm not ironing clothes, if there's
some laundry that I need to fold or if there's something I need to put away, I can use my
ironing board as a table to do that and then turn around and put whatever I have where
it goes.
If you can envision that, it's just a couple of tips to try to keep you organized.
Everybody has different sized closet and you're going to have to find out the system that
works best for you and maybe you are a Pinterest kind of person and you have a beautiful closet.
And if you do, I envy you.
I am not that person.
I'm super practical.
I like quick, fast, short, something that I don't have to worry about and something
that I'm not always folding and redoing everything meticulously.
I like it to be quick, fast and efficient.
So that is my system and I recommend that you do something similar.
In an Airbnb, and I will throw this in here, in an Airbnb you want to make sure that you
have closet space for your guests.
And if you don't have closets that are available over the door racks are awesome because they
can hang either a hanger, they can hang their coat, they can hang towels, and they can hang
things up without them being tossed on the floor and being in their way during the vacation.
So that is just something I would recommend, an over the door rack, they're very inexpensive.
I'll put links in the show notes to those as well so that you can see what I'm talking about.
But create a system that's easy to use and something that you're going to go back to
on a regular basis because if it's not easy and it's not efficient, it's just a waste
of time.
So you want to create a space that works for you and helps you stay clean, tidy, and organized.
All righty.
That's my two cents for today.
And until we meet again,
leave the world a cleaner place than when you found it.
