Your Simple Maintenance Plan
A great organization system shouldn’t require constant, exhausting effort. The beauty of this clothing storage method is that the main work is concentrated into two sessions per year, with very little required in between.
Twice a Year (The Seasonal Swap): This is your main event. Set aside a few hours in the spring and in the fall to thoughtfully perform the seasonal swap. Follow the playbook we outlined: retrieve, refresh, edit the outgoing season, clean, and repack. This is your dedicated time to care for your wardrobe and reset your closet.
Ongoing (The One In, One Out Rule): To prevent your collection of clothes from growing beyond the capacity of your closet and storage bins, adopt the simple “one in, one out” rule. Every time you bring a new piece of clothing into your home, you must choose a similar item to donate or recycle. Buy a new pair of jeans? An old pair has to go. This small habit is the key to maintaining equilibrium and preventing clutter from creeping back in.
