Towels &
Linens
Know
what’s in your hall closet or seen the back of it lately? Time to check what
treasures are there.
Put
the timer on for 30 min. Remove everything from the first shelf.
Tip #1
Quickly
go through the towels, keep what you LOVE, fold them and put them back. Let go
of towels that don’t absorb well.
Tip #2
Now
go through the linens. Again, keep what you LOVE. Check for stains, holes or worn
areas. Don’t keep them! Fold the ones you’ll use and put them on the shelf.
Donate the rest.
Tip #3
Third
are the sheets, pillow cases and duvet covers or blankets. Again, check for
holes, worn areas and whether you love them. As much as possible match top and
bottom sheets. Refold pillow covers and duvet covers. Refold blankets you love.
Put them on the shelf. Donate what is no longer useful.
As
you now have discovered there are treasures you have forgotten about in this
closet.
NOTES
·
Old
pillow covers can be used to cover clothes. Cut a hole for the hanger.
·
Old
towels, facecloths and hand towels make excellent cleaning and polishing rags. Keep
a few, perhaps 5-7.
·
Your
donated items are essential for helping charities in your community. If the
linens aren’t able to be sold they are bagged and another charity will purchase
them by the pound. That charity will then recycle them to make new
garments.
·
If
you are keeping items for others, put them into a clear plastic bin with a
label.
One
last thing, after you have completed this closet revisit it later and
congratulate yourself on a job well done!
