By now, you’re probably in a pretty good routine with the daily school schedule. However, even with a solid routine, mornings can be a little chaotic, especially when Junior decides he’s not going to cooperate about what to wear to school today! Consider trying a different approach – let Junior think that he’s in charge of what he’s wearing by planning ahead with the kids closet organizer.

Your pre-school or elementary school aged child will feel all grown up choosing their outfits from the 6-day closet organizer! This brightly colored organizer features the days of the week on the front section of each storage area with the last section being for shoes. Find yours today at Home Storage Warehouse.

Jacquie’s Tip: At the weekend, after you’ve checked the week’s weather forecast, help your child to select several outfits that can be worn each day of the week. This will save time and frustration in the morning!

If you’re ready to remove your dresses and summer suits from your closet, but would rather not fold them, what are your options? Very few of us have unused closets ready for our off season clothing!

The solution is a portable hanging rack or wardrobe that can be stored in another room or dry basement. For long term storage, select a wardrobe that zips closed and hang Cedar Hang-Ups alongside to repel moths.

Usually around mid-September if I haven’t rotated my closet from summer to fall/winter, it begins to get a little cramped, to say the least. Dealing with a small closet can be a challenge, so I keep only the current season available at one time. If you’re in a similar situation, you’ll probably find yourself getting out some warmer clothes, but may not have sufficient storage space to store them all at the same time. The best way to resolve this is to spend 2-3 hours one evening or weekend to properly rotate your closet.

Begin by removing each item of clothing and decide whether you want to keep, purge or donate. If it doesn’t fit, donate it. If it’s stained or torn, discard. Otherwise, fold or hang and store in a clean breathable container with a zipper close to keep out the dust and bugs.

Store Your Sweaters & Tops in Style:

The following are a few organization products specially made to store folded clothing. Purchase some moth balls or cedar chips to protect your clothing while in storage.

September is Closet Rotation month here at Make it Organized! So be sure to check back to read more tips on organizing and maximizing your closet space.  Summer sale now on at Home Storage Warehouse!
