Easy Checklist for Spring Cleaning Your Closet

FREEPORT, N.Y. - March 25, 2013 - PRLog -- One of the most satisfying spring cleaning tasks is cleaning out the closet to make way for warm-weather clothes. Unfortunately, this can be a daunting undertaking, especially if you’ve let the clutter build all winter. Katie B. of Housewives How To’s has come up with a handy printable checklist (http://housewifehowtos.com/clean/cleaning-closets-printable-routine/) to make closet organization relatively simple and pain-free. In a nutshell, here is a step-by-step guide to cleaning out your closet.

1. Straighten it up. Throw away trash and hang everything up so it’s tidy to start.

2. Remove everything from your closet and lay it out on your bed in groupings: pants, dresses, etc.

3. Clean your closet: Dust, vacuum and mop.

4. Sort the clothes into four piles: Keep, save for when they fit, donate, and toss or recycle.

5. Hang up everything in the “keep” pile. Organize them by type: pants, shirts, dresses, etc.

6. Return shoes and accessories to the closet.

7. Dispose of your cast-offs right away. Take the boxes to the donation center and throw away or recycle clothes that are too worn to be donated.
