AP9 HomeWorks Plus Shapes Up Cluttered Closets
AP9 HomeWorks Plus helps members maximize precious storage space.
Norwalk, CT (PRWEB) September 7, 2006 -- Closets are almost every home’s weakness -- whether large or small. The valuable space is often abused but can be the easiest to organize and maintain. AP9 HomeWorksPlus, a leading home and entertainment discount membership program from Adaptive Marketing LLC, offers commonsense steps to take the clutter out of closets without having to buy an expensive designer storage system.

Members access their benefits by logging on to DealPass.com. It is here they will find discounts at major home improvement stores and home retail stores across the country. And with savings like this, there’s no excuse to de-clutter all the closets in the house!
AP9 HomeWorks Plus suggests the following strategies for getting the most out of every closet in the house.
--Sort it out. It’s a good idea to take everything out of the closet and sort through it before installing a store-bought or homemade closet system. Get rid of clothes that haven’t been worn in the past year, no longer fit, impulse purchases and items that have gone out of style. Although popular styles return, they’re usually altered slightly so that even those formerly trendy items don’t quite fit in. Try to minimize wardrobes; it’s very easy to accumulate multiple white shirts and black skirts. It may be difficult to pick and choose what to keep and what to toss, but it will free up space for future purchases.
--Sketch and measure. Measure all dimensions of the closet and record measurements on paper. This will make shopping for shelving and other storage solutions easier. Then determine the number of rods, shelves and even baskets or drawer units necessary to maximize space. Consider installing two rods; in standard-sized closets, the top one should be about 80 inches above the floor and the lower one at 40 inches. This will help double the space for articles that hang like shirts, skirts, dresses, suits and dress pants. For maximum space, sketch shelf placements from floor to ceiling or at least from the highest rod to the ceiling. This will be convenient storage space for seldom-used items and clothing.
--Hang, shelve, fill. Rods and shelves aren’t the only ways to store clothing. The inside of the closet door can hold a hanging shoe, hat or tie rack. Visit a storage solutions retailer for handy baskets and drawer units designed to fit in closets and small spaces. Use these for awkward items like purses, belts, gloves and hats. Consider folding clothes like sweaters and jeans and storing them on the shelves. Don’t forget the available floor space, which is perfect for a shoe rack or other stackable storage bins.
Members can find savings as well as convenience when tackling a home improvement project -- both large and small -- through AP9 HomeWorks Plus.
