The linen closet can often become a dumping area for ALLLL the things besides linens because it become easy to just stuff things inside of it. There are all kinds of ways to organize a linen closet depending on how much you want to store in there. Here is where you can start:
- Purge. Get rid of anything that is torn, stained, you don't like or that you would be embarrassed to have if you have guests come over.
- Make sure you have full sheet sets all together. That way when you go to change the sheets you have the full set all together and you are not searching all over for that random pillow case. Fold your towels where it makes it easy to grab them off the shelf and put them back on the shelf after you do the laundry. You can use shelf dividers, bins, baskets or whatever you would like to corral the sheet sets and towels.
- Label. Label the shelf or use a tag so you know what is what in the linen closet. This makes it easy to quickly identify what you are looking for. It is great especially for when you are in a rush.
- Donate. Donate what you no longer need, want or like. Consider donating towels and sheets to an animal shelter or many local charities have textile recyclers that come by and pick up the unwanted textiles.
