When you are showing your house, the potential buyers are going to look through everything- and we mean EVERYTHING! You are going to want every bit and corner of your house to be clean, even your closets. Here is some closet organizing tips for you to try whether you are moving or not.

• First things first: Go through all clothes. If you do not like something, if it is out of style, or you have not worn it in over six months, get rid of it; DONATE! You'll have less stuff to pack and unpack for the upcoming move.
• If you have a lot of bags and purses: Install a shower curtain rod in your closet, or use the rod already in there and hang the purses on shower hooks.
• Shoes: If you have boots and no boxes to store them in, cut up pool noodles and  try putting them in the boots to help them stand upright on their own. Makes them look neat and keeps them from getting that crease wrinkle. Also, put baking soda in your shoes, especially flats, to kill the smell and bacteria.
• Scarf storage: Tie your scarves to hangers for easy and neat storage. You can also do this with your belts.
• Use your door: Closet doors are not just for covering up what is inside. Add hooks and hang things on the inside of them. This system is great for shoes and belts. 
• Other tips: Building shelving and cubby space may help with organzing any clutter. Make your closet look professional and neat by storing your clothes in rainbow order (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet)
