Tips for Keeping Your Custom Closet Clean and Organized

Hello from Carolina Closets Plus! If you're here, it means you understand the joy and satisfaction of a beautifully organized custom closet. We know how much you value a well-organized home and a custom closet that caters to your every need. But we also know that keeping your perfectly designed space in top shape can sometimes be a challenge.


Fear not! We've got you covered with some tried-and-true tips. Whether you’re looking for fresh closet organization ideas or need advice on custom closet organization systems, this guide will help you keep your space clean and clutter-free!


Closet Organization 101: Declutter Your Closet Regularly


Why?

Decluttering is the secret to a tidy closet. Even the nicest custom closets can become a mess if not maintained. That's why going through your stuff now and then helps you stay organized, making your closet functional and enjoyable to use!


How?

Try to clear out your closet at least once each season. This way, you can stay organized and avoid piling up unused stuff. And while sorting your stuff, make three piles: Keep, Donate, and Toss. Be real with yourself! Choose what you truly need and use.


Also, think about whether you've worn or used it in the past year. If not, well, it's probably time to let it go. And sometimes, a friend or family member can bring a fresh pair of eyes—and a dash of fun—to the mix!



Put Everything in Its Place

One of the simplest and best ways to organize your closet is to give everything its own spot. This not only keeps things looking neat but also makes it super easy to find what you need–right when you need it.


So, here's a little tip for you: group similar items together—like shirts with shirts, pants with pants, you get the idea. This makes finding things and putting them back super easy. Plus, using drawer dividers, shelf dividers, and compartments helps keep everything organized and stops it all from turning into a tangled mess.


Oh, and don't forget to separate your short and long clothes into different sections. This trick will help you make the most of your space and keep everything easy to see and grab when you need it.


And here's another idea: switch out your wardrobe based on the season! Keep your current items within reach and stash the off-season stuff higher up or in less accessible spots. Trust us, it makes life so much easier!


Use Custom Closet Organization Systems


Getting your storage game on point? Check out these awesome tips:


Adjustable Shelves: Perfect for all your items, big or small. You can also easily move them around as your storage needs change. Super flexible!


Pull-Out Baskets and Drawers: Got smaller items like socks, accessories, or underwear? These are your go-to! They keep everything neat and within easy reach.


Shoe Racks: Tired of digging through piles of shoes? Dedicated racks will keep your footwear organized and easy to find. No more mess!


Hanging Rods and Hooks: Make the most of your vertical space with extra rods and hooks. Perfect for your scarves, bags, and belts too. So handy!


Overhead Storage: Use those high shelves for items you don’t need often, like seasonal clothes or spare bedding. So, yes–out of sight but not out of reach!



Use Labels to Identify Your Closet Organization Accessories

Make sure every bin, basket, shelf, and drawer has a clear label. Forget those boring, generic labels like "Clothes." Instead, go for something more specific like "Winter Sweaters" or "Workout Gear."


And if you want to nail it, use your label maker. It adds a professional touch with those uniform, crisp, and clear labels. But wait, there's more! Why not add a very fun twist with a color-coding system? Maybe blue labels for winter items and green for summer.


Sounds like a lot? Not at all! Organizing has never been this fun and easy. Give it a try and see how it transforms your space!


How to Keep Your Closet Clean


Vacuum the Floors

First off, grab your vacuum and give your closet floor a good clean to get rid of dust and dirt. Don’t forget those pesky corners and under the shelves—they need love too!


Dust Shelves and Surfaces

Next, use a microfiber cloth to dust off shelves, rods, and other surfaces. It keeps the buildup away and makes your closet look fresh and tidy.


Wipe Down Shoes

Before tossing your shoes and boots back into the closet, give them a quick dust-off. This little step prevents dirt from spreading everywhere else.


Air Out Clothing

And here's a tip we love—occasionally leave your closet doors open to let some air in. It helps avoid that musty smell and keeps your clothes feeling fresh too!
