Which "corpses" do you store unnecessarily in your closet?

To keep the bedroom looking tidy, many people put all sorts of things in their closet.
Normally,
as the name suggests, a
wardrobe contains
clothes
.
Whether dresses, pants, skirts, sweaters or t-shirts: most people have more clothes in their closet than they actually need, although some certainly claim to have nothing to wear.
But do you really only store clothes in your closet, or do you
also use the
storage space
for other things that actually have no place in it
?
As part of
spring cleaning
It's worth
cleaning out your closet
and throwing out everything that doesn't belong there.
So that there is order not only in your apartment, but also in your closet.
In the following, you will find out which three things you can start with immediately to clear out your closet.
Instead, you're more interested in what to banish from your bathroom - read about it here.
What does not belong in the closet?
– single socks
Who does not know it: After
washing
, suddenly only one
sock
comes back, the second sock cannot be found.
Do you also keep a stack of individual socks
in your closet
in the hope that one or the other long-lost partner will turn up under the sofa or in the fitted sheet?
What a feeling of happiness when a pair of socks can actually be reunited after a long time apart!
But honestly, how often is that the case?
Aren't there many more single socks that you're sure by now will stay alone forever?
If you're not someone who likes to wear two different socks, then throw away the individual socks from the closet.
Spring cleaning: shoes don't belong in the closet
Do you store shoes in your closet?
Out with it!
Shoes don't belong in the closet
, but in the shoe closet in the hallway.
If you don't have any more space there, this is an indication that you should clear out your shoes again.
However, you don't have to throw old shoes that are basically still good but you no longer want to wear in the trash.
If you donate your used shoes
instead, it will also make clearing out easier.
In general, it is not advisable to keep
shoes in the closet
, as worn shoes start to
smell over time
and the
clean clothes in the closet
can take on the smell.
Wrapping paper and decorations also have no place in the wardrobe
Do you sometimes use your closet to store
wrapping paper
and
decorations
, such as for
Easter
or
Christmas
?
Since you usually only need these things on certain occasions, you shouldn't store them in your closet, but Christmas decorations don't belong in the attic either.
It is better to store decorative items, wrapping paper and the like in the
basement
.
