After a year of lockdown, parts of your home like your kitchen and pantry may need some spring cleaning. Similarly, your bedroom may be in need of a deep clean, and your closet due for a refresh. It's easy to become overwhelmed just thinking about starting this daunting spring cleaning task. If this sounds familiar, here are some spring clean closet tips to help you clear the clutter and get organized once and for all.
How to spring clean your closet
Where to donate clothes
After your spring clean closet session, organize your 'keep' pile and repurpose your 'trash' pile. You'll then likely have clothes to donate to charity.
8. Donate your professional clothes to an organization that empowers women
If you're embarking on the work-from-home life permanently as a result of the global pandemic, that power pantsuit in your closet likely won't be seeing much use. Dress for Success is a worldwide charity committed to helping women work toward self-sufficiency. Find a Dress for Success affiliate location near you.
9. Donate clothes without leaving your home
Organizations like Zappos for Good allow you to pack up your unused items; up to 50 lbs. per box, print a prepaid label, and ship donations directly from the comfort of your home.
10. Get rid of clothes and bras to save women from sex-trafficking
Free the Girls collects bras and other clothing items to help survivors earn an income. Free the Girls provides start-up inventory to women in need in developing countries.
