Spring is a great time to clean out your closets! When your closets are neat and organized you are able to find what you need quickly, get ready in the morning faster and with more ease and it’s easier to keep your home tidy because there is space in your closets for your items. Here are some tips to get the job done fast.

Step 1: Purge. Pull out everything you don’t love or find useful. In your wardrobe closet, if you are having a hard time figuring out what you love, flip your hangers around so that they are hanging on the rod backwards. As you wear each piece of clothing put it back with the hanger hanging correctly on the rod. At the end of a year you will know exactly what you have not worn because the hangers of those items will still be backwards. If you have not worn it in a year, you don’t love it or find it useful.

What to do with the clothes you purged:

Have a Clothing Swap — Invite your friends to clean out their closets. You could forward them this article to help them get started. Set a date and time for every one to bring over their unwanted clothing and accessories and a dish to pass and/or beverage. You could also expand this swap party to include home furnishings, candles, beauty products or kitchen gadgets. Create the feeling of a “store” in your living room featuring everyone’s items. Mingle, eat and shop – for FREE! You will get some new fun pieces to add to your wardrobe, get rid of all of your unwanted items that are cluttering up your closest and have a fun free party with your friends. Donate all of the left over items to charity.

Consign — Why not make some extra money? Some consignment stores will accept all seasons of clothing all year around which makes it easy to consign. A select few consignment stores pay upfront for clothing, although, those types of consignment stores are generally hard to find.

Consignment stores typically sell clothing on the same season schedule as regular retail stores. At the end of each retail season they will donate the items that did not sell for you and pay you a commission on your items that did sell. But you are usually in charge of knowing when a retail season ends and collecting your payment. Most stores do not automatically mail you a check. To make it easy, just put a note in your calendar on each of your deadline dates to call them so that you can pick up your check.

Step 2: Install a Closet System – Most closets need more than a basic rod and pole. Installing a built in closet system of adjustable rods, shelves, drawers, hooks and accessories will usually double or even triples the amount of use-able space in your closet. Plus it makes it much easier to see and find your items. There are many great options available from inexpensive do-it-yourself systems to having a Professional Organizer / Closet Designer out to your home to design a system for you and have it built and installed for you. Closet systems range in price dramatically but many basic but effective systems are surprisingly inexpensive. A new well-designed closet system will make a big impact on your life.

Installing a Closet System will: Make your life easier Double or triple your closet space Make your home tidier Add value to your home

Step 3: Once you have a closet system installed, the next step is to get matching hangers in your wardrobe and coat closets. It will give your closet a clean uniform look and save space.

Hangers that work well are the thin velvety soft hangers because your clothing “sticks” to the velvet so even tank tops and silky shirts won’t fall off the hanger. They are space saving and have a cool sleek design that prevents “shoulder bumps”.

For non-wardrobe closets, usually clear shoebox bins work well. Sort all of the items in your closet into categories, such as, first aid supplies, travel sized products and so on. Separate items into individual bins and label the fronts of the bins. This makes it easy to put things away and find things.

You could start by organizing one closet in your home every week or even every month. Before long, all of your closets will be perfectly organized!

Hiring a professional moving company has much to recommend it; you can pick and choose among the services you want and can afford, to create a package that’s just right for you.

Moving companies offer several great reasons to hire them, and differing levels of service for differing needs and price ranges, from companies that simply load the van and drive it to your new location to companies that will pack you, move you, and even clean the old house for you.

If you’ve accepted a new job or a transfer to a new location within your current company, there are many packages designed especially for you. You can have your old house listed on the market, find the best schools for your kids, and even be provided with temporary accommodations while waiting for the perfect house to become available in your new neighborhood.

You’ll need to thoroughly check out any company before hiring them, of course. Each company should be vetted to your satisfaction, with viable references if possible. You should also search for any complaints or comments about them online, to see what information is available. These recommendations should also contain information on whether the companies were prompt, priced fairly, or added additional costs.

You can also ask the companies themselves for references, and for information about their most and least expensive times to move. You may find, for example, that moving during the middle of the week can be significantly less expensive than moving on the weekends.

These companies will also provide you with a complete overview of their insurance coverage, detailing point by point exactly what is covered, and to what degree. It’s imperative that you understand what your responsibilities are, and which belong to the moving company before you sign a contract.

The company you eventually choose to move you will need to visit your home at least once before providing you with a quote. Your belongings must be inventoried, the ease of entry and exit in and out of your home must be evaluated, and any special requests you have must be taken into account.
