I am in middle of sorting through the previous seasons of clothing I have from my children. How do you sort and what do you keep. What do you find that you pass most from one child to the next?
1.don’t bother saving white clothing for more than one season because it oxidizes anyway
2.plastic containers with lids are good because they are see-thru.otherwise labeled AIRTIGHT shopping bags are fine.
3.putting fabric softener sheets in keeps the smell fresh and pleasant.
4.fold it neatly.
5.give away what’s too small for YOUR YOUNGEST and throw out ultra-faded,curly-collared stuff.
6.label specifically:SUMMER 2011-BOYS OR GIRLS WINTER PJS 6X-8
7.DO NOT INSULT PEOPLE BY GIVING THEM WORN OUT OR TORN STUFF.
We use plastic bins and a label maker to neatly label the items.
Rubbermaid, sticker labels.
Or pass on to next in the family, and get back when done/need it.
i think that’s the oxidization.that’s why not everything is worth saving (you can give it to a friend’s kid who can wear it now).and thanks,i’m glad to help.
for a white gown or items too valuable to just give away there are fabric or other special coverings so whatever time/exposure does to create those mysterious stains…does not happen.
oxy clean works wonders and by the way to put away old cloths use plastic containers. and also something that might work, wash the cloths first before putting them away. good luck
if that didnt work, you gotta say good by to those nice cloths and next season by yourselfs new ones. sorry to hear.
