Clean out your closet, coats and accessories

Coats are the most used item in winter. These thick coats are lined with fur or cotton to keep the body warm in cold weather. Most of us have at least 2-3 of them, and arranging them in the closet with other family members is not easy.

You should start by putting all the same type of shirts in the same compartment and dividing them into cotton jackets, wool coats, windbreakers, etc. Sort and arrange them similarly with pants, long-sleeved shirts of different thickness and thickness. At the same time, pay attention to cleaning up items that are no longer usable, they are old or too tight, too short to give to those who need them more. This is a way to not only share love with everyone but also significantly increase storage space.

Then, remember to clean by vacuuming and wiping before packing inside.

Divide storage area

Clearly dividing storage areas according to their intended use is the best way to keep your wardrobe tidy and make it easy to find what you need when you need it.

How to arrange

Since the main function you need to do now is to store and keep coats, you need to arrange and classify them according to their purpose. For example, thick coats need to be put together. Then gloves, sweaters, scarves, wool hats... should also be put together. With small items such as socks, gloves,... you can completely put them together in boxes, label them to mark and stack them on top of each other to save space.

How to organize shoes and boots

It is best to only store shoes or boots with cotton or fur lining in the closet because they are too hot to be used in the summer. Note that before storing them in the closet, you should wash them, dry them completely in the sun, and then pack them in separate bags to prevent mold growth. As for sneakers, flats, doll shoes, etc., you can completely reuse them in the summer, so just store them in a normal shoe cabinet./.
