The start of a new year is a time when many of us think about getting our homes in order after a relaxed (read: lazy) December.
If, like us, your wardrobes are a major source of stress, overflowing with clutter and old clothes you never wear, then help is at hand because a professional home organiser has shared an ingenious trick to get things sorted.
And it’ll only take you five minutes…
Home organiser Anita Birges of Mise En Place revealed her ‘five-minute reverse hanger hack’ in a Facebook post last week (29 December) – and the simple solution has quickly gone viral with over 59k views.
Not to mention countless comments from followers who can’t wait to try her clever trick.
All you have to do is to go through your wardrobe, making sure that all of your clothes hangers are facing the same way.
Then, every time you wear an item and put it back in your cupboard, make sure you hang it in the opposite direction.
‘In six months… come back and look at what clothes have been reversed,’ Birges advises.
The reason? You’ll easily be able to see which items you never or rarely wear, so that you can then either throw them out or donate them to charity.
Cue an easy and sensible way to detox your wardrobe, without any regrets down the line.
