Essentials for cleaning out the closets

Cleaning out the closets is an important task we need to undertake frequently so we don’t become overwhelmed with excess stuff. These essential items will help pack up the unwanted things once we have weeded out what we don’t need. Some things we will want to pack up for later use, but other things we may want to give away to thrift or sell at our own garage sale. No need to wait til spring for this cleaning because any time of year is a great time to get rid of the excess.
