Q&A

How long does it take to declutter a closet?

The time required to declutter a closet varies depending on the size and amount of items. However, following the step-by-step process in this video can help you complete the task efficiently.

What should I do with items I no longer want?

You can donate or sell items that are in good condition. Alternatively, you can consider textile recycling options for garments that are no longer wearable.
