Let's put it off! Cleaning and organizing your home. Fox 5's Shally Zomorodi is in Leucadia
this morning showing us tips on how to keep it clean and wow, first up is the closet!
Hi and good morning everyone. Put your hands up if your house is completely disorganized.
Yeah look, all of our hands are up and you struggle with getting your home actually looking
nice, looking and feeling good. So this morning we are showing you how to reorganize your
home. Obviously you recognize this face, Kathi Burns, founder of Add Space To Your Life.
She's here and we've invaded Lisa Knight's house in Leucadia. We've invaded this so we
can reorganize your home starting with your closet. What does your closet usually look
like? It's a wreck. There's usually shoes on the
floor, there's laundry, there's an ironing board, there's a vacuum cleaner (a wet/dry
vac). There's just a height of industry in here.
That sounds like my closet. Alright Kathi, help us, help us! So take us in there, show
us what are some really easy tips that people at home can do to straighten things up.
Okay well the first thing is you never want anything on the floor. The reason being is
that you want to have the floor clean so that you can vacuum. And things that tend to fall
on the floor in closets are lost and gone forever and you don't get them anyhow. So
the very thing that I did was pick the pile of shoes up out of the broken basket and put
them into a hanging shoe basket. This is the size that works great for gents, for women
you can see over here we have the smaller sizes and they work great. It's a wonderful
thing because you can fit ten pairs of shoes in this small amount of this whole space,
4 inches basically across. Amazing. Okay what else can we do?
That's the first one. The hamper -- I always recommend as soon as I see the hamper lid,
I take the lid off because what happens with the lid on top of the hamper, clothes get
put on the lid and then the clothes don't go into the hamper. So it becomes a little
holding zone and everything gets piled on there. So if you have a hamper with a lid,
I'd say definitely take it off. I know a whole bunch of ladies at home going
right now, "Yes! Now if we can just get the men to put the clothes in the hamper!"
And the kids! The clothes in the hamper is a beautiful thing!
Alright, got another tip for us? Absolutely! We want to hang slacks with slacks,
shirts with shirts, coats with coats. The top pole right here, the top shelf is usually
not that functional so what you can do with it is you can stack things like the linens,
blue jeans that are folded nicely on top as well as sweatshirts. Sweatshirts are bulky
and take up too much pole space anyhow. So that's what will happen is when it goes into
winter you'll have all the sweaters and sweatshirts on the top shelf.
Okay, this looks good. Thank you! How do you like your closet? Do you love it?
I think it's exciting!! Thank you Kathi! Oh my gosh, wait til we get to the bathroom
and kitchen! Okay so up next we are going over to the bathroom. I can't wait for this,
everybody's bathroom is a mess. You don't want to miss this. We'll send it back to you
guys.
