Welcome to week 11 of the 2015 Home Organizing Challenge. This week, we are sorting through our kids closets & getting them ready for spring. If you don’t have any kids, take time this week to purge other closets in your house.
If this is your first time participating in the challenge, welcome! Each week, you will receive a new challenge & you will have 7 days to complete it. If you are not subscribed to my blog & want reminders for the weekly challenges, you can sign up here. The first thing you need to do is print out your 14 Week Schedule. You can hang it on your fridge and check it off as you go. Print it out here.
WEEK #11 CHECKLIST: (Print out the free Kids Closet checklist HERE)
- Keep
- Donate
- Trash/Recycle
- Other Room
- Garage Sale
- Too Big
- Empty all of the shelves, baskets and drawers, dividing everything into the 6 piles listed above (or more if needed). Sort through everything, only keeping what your child wears now or will wear soon. Place clothes that do not fit yet into a plastic tote and place up high in the closet so your child will not sort through it.
- Once the closet is completely empty, wipe down the shelves, door, molding, etc.
- Sweep & Mop the Floor
- Use shoe organizers to keep shoes looking neat and in good shape.
- Color coordinate hanging clothes, for a clean & organized look.
- Separate by type of clothing (Short sleeve, long sleeve, sweaters, jackets, etc.)
- Summer – Short Sleeve, Shorts, Swim wear, Dresses/Skirts
- Winter – Long Sleeve, Sweaters, Pants, Dresses, Coats
- Bags
- Shoes
- Pajamas
- Accessories
- Too Big
- Keepsakes
