It might not be spring yet, but that doesn’t have to hold you back from getting a head start on spring cleaning. You likely added a few pieces to your wardrobe during Christmastime, so your closet may be feeling a bit cramped. Don’t worry, there are plenty of techniques you can use for sifting through what should and shouldn’t stay. And once you’re through sorting, you can take the clothes you no longer want to one of these nearby consignment shops. What’s better than making room and getting a little cash back for your troubles?
Read on to learn more about best practices for closet cleaning and where to take the items you no longer want.
How to Clean Out Your Closet
One of the simplest and most effective strategies for cleaning out your closet, your pantry, or anything else for that matter is outlined in The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo.
According to Kondo, you should examine each item in your closet and determine whether it brings you joy or not. Oftentimes, we hold on to items or clothing because we feel as though we should. Instead, by choosing to only fill your space with the things that make you happy, you will rid yourself of junk you don’t care about. You’ll also learn to focus on the things that truly do make you happy instead of filling your life with things or people you feel like you should hold on to.
This philosophy can have a profound effect on both your closet space and your daily life. But maybe you can’t tell if that artfully-stitched pair of denim brings you happiness or not. If you need a rule to abide by, consider the one-year rule. If you haven’t worn a piece of clothing in more than a year, chances are that you won’t miss it if you throw it out. After all, unless it’s a piece of costume wear, you probably didn’t like it that much to begin with if you haven’t put it on in a full year.
