- 1). Empty the closet of clothes completely. Wipe off any dust or dirt on the shelves with paper towels and a cleaning spray.
- 2). Sort through all of the clothes and decide what you want to keep. "Good Housekeeping" magazine suggests making four piles when organizing clothes: keep, mend, donate and throw away. Throw out any torn, stained or worn out pieces in a large trash bag.
- 3). Place the rest of your unwanted clothes in another large trash bag. Donate these pieces to charities and thrift stores, or give them to family members and friends.
- 4). Fold your jeans, shorts, sweaters, pajamas and blouses neatly to prevent wrinkling.
- 5). Separate any out-of-season clothes. Store these pieces either on the very top shelf of the closet or in a plastic container under your bed to save closet space.
- 6). Arrange the remaining clothes by category and assign a different category to each shelf, such as office wear, casual outfits, sportswear and pajamas. Place the appropriate clothing items on each assigned shelf in neat piles.
