Is your closet tidy and organized? If not, you are not alone. From time to time, we all need to get dressed quickly for work or a date so the clothes we take off are usually misplaced in the closet or left unfolded.
Without constant checking, the closet will quickly become a pile of disorganized mess and we cannot even find the clothes we want. We then end up buying new outfits more than often.
Therefore, it is important to deep clean and organize the closet regularly so that we can easily fetch the clothes we are looking for and also resupply the outfit we need.
In today’s article, Sparkling and Beyond will provide a step by step guide of closet deep cleaning for you to make your wardrobe as tidy as other places in your room!
Firstly, toss away any debris in your closet, take out all your clothes and divide them into 2 piles on your bed or the ground: the clothes that should be hung and the ones that should be folded.
Example of hanged clothes:

When sorting your clothes, don’t worry if these clothes are unfashionable or not fitted anymore. We will deal with this problem in the later step.
After sorting the outfit, it is time to deep clean the closet. To begin with, vacuum all over the closet to remove most of the dust and use an old toothbrush to scrub clean any corner that is difficult to be reached by the vacuum.
Next, mix 3 teaspoons of dishwashing cleaner with a litre of warm water to make a soap solution. Soak a piece of rag with this mixture and wipe down both the inside and outside of the closet.
After this, wipe the closet again with a piece of wet cloth to remove soap residue.
Finally, use another dry rag to wipe away any additional water.
If there are more stubborn stains staying in the closet, mix a cup of vinegar with a cup of water and use a sponge to rub off the spots with the vinegar mixture.
Then, wipe off the remaining liquid and dirt with a dry rag.
In this step, go through the two piles of clothes and pick up the clothes that are no longer needed. You can ask yourself the following questions to help you select your outfit:
After picking out these unwanted clothes, consider donating them to local charities. You can still keep the clothes that do not fit your current shape and store them in the basement, attic or other storage areas. If they still don’t fit your shape next year, they should be donated.
Put the clothes and other things back into the closet orderly. Hang back the clothes in the hanged pile and fold the clothes properly in the folded pile and put them back. Also, place the shoes back, hang the scarves and belt and place the bags and purses on the shelf if you have it. Finally, finish up other chores such as placing the boxes of stuff you still want to keep into the storage area or taking additional hangers to the laundry room.
Here are some tips to help you maintain your closet to make it tidy:
