When you were younger, someone
at home kept your clothes clean and pressed for you. Now you can do much
of this yourself! Here are a few suggestions.
After each wearing, hang up clothes that are not to be laundered. Use a hanger.
Sew on buttons and repair rips or torn places.
Clean and polish shoes regularly.
Launder socks and underclothes after each wear, and most other garments, too.
Fold clean socks, underclothes, etc. and arrange neatly in drawers. Try to have a special place for each clothing item and accessory.
Fold sweaters and some other knit garments rather than placing on hangers.
Remove spots and stains as soon as they get on clothes. The longer stains stay, the harder they are to remove.
Out-of-season clothes that may still fit next year should not clutter your closet. Be sure they are clean, and store in plastic bags, boxes, or drawers.
