KNOW-HOW

I

Tame linen closet chaos by storing bulk

items such as extra soaps, bath salts, and

cotton balls in clear cylinders,

above.

It’s an

attractive, inexpensive solution, and you’ll be

able to see when something needs

replenishing. Use this trick all around the

house—for sponges in the kitchen and

detergent in the laundry room, for example.

“Keep a donation hamper in

your closet. Every two weeks,

select an item of clothing you

haven’t worn in the past six months

and throw it in. When the hamper is

full, take it to Goodwill.”
