As we get our house ready for #5 arriving in less than two months, that means that it’s time to go through dressers and closets and put away old clothes to be used for younger siblings later. While we may not have chosen to have all girls, it really is a huge blessing! I don’t “need” clothes for anyone other than older two most seasons.
The tricky part of passing clothes down though is making sure that you store them in a way that you can find them when you need them, and store them so they aren’t in worse condition that when you put them away. Spending a little bit of extra time on the front end will make both of those tasks easier. If you aren’t storing clothes to pass down, but are moving your winter clothes out of the closet to make room for summer items, these tips will also help!
Tips for Storing Clothes
Store on Hangers
If you are putting away clothes that you will want to hang up again, don’t waste time taking them off hangers. Put them away in bins (or just move them to out of the way closets if you are that lucky) with the hangers still on them. Now when you are ready to get them back out again you have little to no work to do. Since this means having extra hangers head to Dollar General for some of the cheapest hangers around. They sell kid and adult sizes and most are 10 for $1. Note: You don’t want to use wire hangers – they can leave marks on your clothes!
Separate by Type and Size
Clothes that are being stored in bins need to have extra organization put into their storage planning. You may feel like shoving them all into storage bins and sitting on the top of it to get it closed… but come time to use these again you will regret that. Take a few extra minutes and sort the clothes by type and size: pants, shorts, long sleeve vs. short sleeve etc. Then put items in the bins with like items together.

When we started this project, we had trash bags filled with clothes to sort later. I don’t recommend trash bags as a form of long-term storage. They just break and the clothes become a balled up mess. A lot of them had stains on them, so we had to go through them.


Label Bins Well!
With bins sorted and organized beautifully, go ahead and share that organization with everyone. Put on the top and sides of the bin what sizes, and types of clothing are inside. Example: Girls Size 4/5 shorts, pants and shirts. If you don’t want to write straight on the bin, put a piece of duck tape on it and then write on the duck tape. With all the fun colors you can even grab pink duck tape for the girls clothes and blue for boys (not that we would know about that with 5 girls).
For adult clothes this is also handy. I have bins for Maternity winter or Maternity summer clothes, and confess that I also a bin or two for clothes that I long to fit in again… if you don’t want to put actual sizes on them then go cute: “clothes for 6 months after baby” “clothes for when pigs fly”…

Store Clean and Scented
Make sure that clothes are put away clean. If they look clean but the last time you washed them was months ago, you may want to wash them again. For kids clothes if they go into storage with stains they will come out with darker more noticeable stains. If you store clothes in the attic this will be even more true! You want closed boxes, clothing bags or other ways to store them that are airtight and protected from light. Many folks also recommend vacuum sealed storage bags, though for a 4 year olds clothing I don’t think that matters too much. We choose to keep clothing stored on high shelfs in our garage. It is cooler than the attic and easier to get something out versus climbing the attic ladder.

The weather is heating up and all I want to do is spring cleaning (I may be nesting currently too). A necessity in our house is a good vacuum.
We’ve gone through a lot of vacuums over the years, but one of my absolute favorites has been our Dyson. It has amazing suction, they say it has a complete seal between the vacuum and the carpet. Having a dog who loves to shed, and a two year old who thinks the more things on the carpet, the better, good suction is key.
To help get you on the right track, I’m giving away a Dyson DC40 Origin Vacuum. It’s a lot like an older model I have, so I know it won’t steer you wrong. Fill out the form below to be entered to win. If you don’t see the form, fill it out here.
This giveaway is sponsored by me and all opinions are 100% my own.
