Put order in the closet, mission impossible? I

Surely it happened to you more than once : you have a commitment, you run to the closet and find it full of " nothing to wear ". Or worse yet, full of clothes that you didn't use for years and they are simply taking up space, making other garments being wrinkled and damaged.

Then we will give some guidelines for you to organize your closet, do cleaning and too comfortable clothes in perfect order when you make the change of season.

First empty your closet and sort your clothes into three piles: that you want to keep, which is in good condition but needs work (dying, sewing , etc. ) and one that you didn't wear in a full year( if you did'nt wear it in a full year, surely you won't more). The latter pile can take it any parish or shelter , they' ll probably appreciate it.

Once the closet emptying is a good time for a good cleaning inside and out: depending on the material it is constructed wardrobe choose the right product: soapy water, cleaner, cleaner soapy wood cleaner or silicone for plastic surfaces. I advise you to put some air freshener or potpourri, besides slightly perfuming linen, scare away insects.

Then comes the hard work: arrange clothes. There are different approaches to the planning of the clothes: some people prefer to divide them in order to uses: work clothes, casual clothes, clothes for special occasions. Others, however, choose to classify by color, gathering the blouses, pants , jackets etc. , the same color together. Finally there is the option of placing the garments of the same type together , shirts with shirts, pants with pants. Here you should choose the option that best suits your lifestyle : if you take your work uniform or any special clothing advise you organize it for use. If you are very creative in combining colors you may prefer to order the garments of the same type together and coordinate them according to your taste . In case you 're not good match or you do not have much time to get dressed in the morning is best that you organize clothes by color , creating sets of pants or skirt and shirt or blouse.

Personally, I prefer to combine two methods : first order garments for use, and within each group I organize by color, so I have on the one hand ready outfits to go to the office , and in the other hand more elegant attire for special occasions.

After learning how organize your clothes, you have to hang them. If your wardrobe does´nt have any division, for each type of garment, I  advise you go to the housewares stores and buy some accessories that are sold to organize your closet, and so this the clothes can be better organized and exposed. Also I suggest you purchase a good amount of hangers of various kinds: a lined for delicate fabrics of silk or some other tissue slides .
If you like you can buy craft foam padding and velvet cloth cover yourself and your hangers.
For suits or coats I recommend that you buy durable and suitably shaped hangers, so you do not deform the garment.
Do not even use the dry cleaner's hangers, they are too weak to support the weight of some items and just deformed.
