A spider is up high and you can’t reach it. Stop a spider in its tracks, by spraying it with hairspray. It will fall from it’s height, usually unable to run and then you’ll be able to discard it.

It’s much better than spraying those other chemicals above you, while looking up, with your eyes and mouth probably open.

With pants, jackets, and suits, it can be easy for the closet to become a cluttered mess due to daily use of your items. For many people, it can be a challenge to find certain accessories, or navigate through the different racks. To tidy up the closet and keep it organized throughout the year, here are a few organization hacks to take advantage of in the small space.

Add Matching Hangers
Instead of using mismatched hangers of all different sizes and colors, opt for using uniformed hangers that all look identical. Consult with a National hanger company to swap out plastic hangers for wood hangers or velvet ones, which will hold each clothing item and prevent it from slipping onto the floor. This will improve both the functionality and the aesthetics of your space.

Place Shoes in Boxes
Preserve your shoes and keep each pair together by placing them in plastic bins, which will also prevent dust from collecting, and scuffing from piling them all together. You can take a polaroid photo of each pair for an easy labeling method for the boxes to help identify these accessories. Keep them organized by season so you’ll be able to easily switch from winter to summer.

Install Overhead Shelves
Give your closet more room with overhead shelves. This will provide additional space to store purses, luggage, or items that are not frequently used. Buy over-door racks or install some so you can hang accessories or even clothes and jackets you use all the time. This way you don’t have to constantly use a hanger for every piece.

Swap Out Seasonal Clothing
Instead of allowing bulky coats or snow pants to take up space in your closet, store them in plastic bins where they can be kept out of the way when not in use. Each season, you can swap out the clothes on the rack for an easy way of finding what you need.

Group Similar Items
Organize all your products by grouping like items. Store belts on a few hangers, place scarves in a labeled box, and keep certain types of jackets together for a simple way of finding what you need in seconds.

Use a Rolling Ladder
For those with larger closets, a rolling ladder can come in handy by making it easy to reach for items that are stored on top shelves. This will also make it easy to keep shelves clutter-free with easy access.

As one of the most used features of your home, the closet can easily become an eyesore if it’s not properly maintained. With the right tools and practices, you can easy allow it to become organized for a space that is easy to use and allows you to put outfits together in less time.
