seasonal change in wardrobes
For many people the change of season It's a nightmare. But to avoid wasting time and effort, start with a very effective method: consider this a good opportunity to get rid of things you no longer wear (just ask yourself a question while handling an item: "How many times have I worn this this year?"), and then start by sorting clothes and accessories (to keep, to donate, to sell, to throw away).

The method for changing seasons

The fastest, simplest and most effective method of changing seasons, You don't need one of the many texts available in the literature of domestic life, you just need to do a few essential things following this method, with the relative steps:

  • Empty the closet, taking out everything: clothes, garments, shoes, accessories.
  • Take advantage of the moment of the change of season, to air and dust the wardrobes and drawers with a damp cloth, and eliminate any trace of dust.
  • Put it back on one side the clothes, bags and accessories to be stored and on the other those to be arranged in the wardrobe.
  • Select the clothes to donate and put them in an envelope.
  • The same goes for any clothes or garments you're thinking of selling on a second-hand market, even online.
  • Identify, and eliminate, very damaged clothes and garments that need to be thrown away or even recycled to transform them into other objects (for example: from legs of a pair of trousers which is no longer wearable, baskets and cushions can also be made).
  • Check, and set aside all the items that need repairing, even with small repairs.
  • Put it at your fingertips, in the wardrobes and drawers, the items you will use most often.
  • Organize your spaces by type of clothing (shirts, trousers, shirts, jackets) or by colour, if it helps.
  • Place all items you wish to keep in appropriate boxes.

How to clean your closet properly

Once empty, it's essential to clean the closet thoroughly before refilling it. To sanitize it properly, you don't need to use chemical detergents: just use simple, natural ingredients such as: Lemon; e bicarbonateOnce you have finished cleaning the wardrobe, proceed with arranging the different items and don't forget to add some scented sachets (the lavender essence  is always number one for this function), even better if made at home. About However, you will find all the instructions and alternatives for natural cleaning of wardrobes.

The opportunity for decluttering

The change of season is also a unique opportunity for the decluttering. Who among us hasn't put away those old pants that no longer fit in our closet, hoping to fit them back in one day? Better to donate them. Not only our closets, but also our drawers, closets, and cellars are full of clothes and items we no longer use but, at the same time, we can't bring ourselves to throw away. Yet, getting rid of all the superfluous and useless things not only saves us time (think of all the time we waste searching for the things we need amidst clutter and disorder) but also has a positive impact on our mood: order, in fact, generates well-being.

When to change seasons

To avoid wasting time, and repeating the same operation more than once, the seasonal change must be done in one go and at specific times of the year. Specifically, for spring and summer, when winter clothes are no longer required, the ideal time is between mid-March and the end of April, and no later. Summer clothes should be replaced with winter ones between mid-September and mid-October.

Where to store clothes and garments from the previous season

Once you have completed the seasonal wardrobe change, arrange the clothes from the past season in convenient boxes and in garment hangers suitable for this function. (clothes must be ironed first)Using natural moth repellants and a few scented sachets, such as lavender, you can also arrange everything at the top of your closet, so that last season's wardrobe doesn't overlap with the current season's. And make sure your clothes don't get crushed. Once your clothes are ironed and folded neatly, it's a good idea to label the boxes they come in to identify them.
