Just found this site. Wonderful ideas! As for the closet cleaning/organizing…I went through my closet and got rid of things I haven’t seen in awhile. When I was done, I did something different. Usually when you place your clothes back in the closet, you place the hanger on the rod from the front. What I decided to do, was put ALL of the hangers backwards. I wrote todays date in pencil on the wall just inside the door. As I wore the clothes, I replaced the hanger from the front. ONE COMPLETE YEAR from the date, I have gone through every season, party, work, play event…you name it. I can now see what clothes I have not worn in an entire year. Pull them off the hangers and give them away. Turn the hangers around and visit it again in one year. It has been liberating….

I have a box with newborn toys and security blankets from my kids when they were born! I hang on to them so I can give it to them when they grow up

Loved this, am a recent retiree & a lot of professional clothes went to a womans shelter, I turn my hangers backwards & when I wear some thing I replace it on a hanger facing the other direction so I can look in my closet in a year & know if it has not been used it needs to find a new home. Love this site.

My chest of drawers has a smell from having been stored in an unheated garage for a year or so. I’ve had it for about 10 years and it still smells funky! I’ve cleaned it and put dryer sheets in the drawers, but it still stinks! What would you try now?

Hi Malissa,
I am your regular reader and like your blog very much. You always have the right advices which makes any cleaning job easier. This article helps me realize how much clothes that I don’t wear and even don’t like I still store. I followed your advice about the clothes I didn’t wear for 12 months and donate them so now I have more space in my closet and it looks more tidy. In addition I am able to see and reach the clothes I really like and wear. Thanks again for your advices and keep doing what you can do best- helping us be more clean and organized 🙂
