I know a lot of us are on a "No-Spend January" or at least a more restricted clothing budget for this month, so I thought it would be a great time to feature some tools that, even though they aren't apparel, need some room in your closet! Here are five super useful (and inexpensive) tools that can help your clothing look it's best and even save you money in the long run!
1//Storage Baskets ($34.99/pack of 5) If you're organizing your closet and looking for a way to contain smaller items like socks, sports bras, shorts or tanks, these lined baskets are a huge help! The woven liners keep things from snagging on the basket and are easily removable to wash. The baskets are durable (I've had mine for more than 4 years!) and add a clean, decorative look to any closet shelf.
2//CREP Weatherproofing Spray ($15.00) I adore suede booties and shoes in cold months, but slushy snow or rain can be disastrous for this type of fabric. CREP spray protects delicate suede, leather and even canvas from water and stains and keeps your investments looking sharp, no matter what the weather does! It doesn't discolor or stain even delicate suede, and water literally rolls of surfaces treated with it!
3//Wooden Hangers ($17.51/pack of 24) A simple way to make your closet look streamlined and organized is to have matching hangers. This classic wood version works for both tops and pants and helps keep items spaced nicely as well as keeping their shape so much better than plastic or (gasp!) wire hangers. Say goodbye to weird shoulder bumps or stretched-out necklines!
4//Electric Clothing Shaver ($11.95) Even the most expensive knits can pill and look worn before their time, but there's an easy fix - shave them off! This electric plug-in option is so much better than battery-operated shavers because you don't have to stop and change batteries all the time. The process is so satisfying and you get the instant gratification of making a piece look brand new!
5//Extreme Stick Lint Roller ($12.99/pack of 2) With three Great Danes (and usually a foster dog) in our house, I rarely (meaning NEVER) don't have dog hair on my clothes. These lint rollers are a must to have stashed by the door, in my car, and anywhere I need to quickly make myself presentable. I've tried so many brands, and these are so effective at removing pet hair and lint in one quick swipe!
So what's your must-have closet tool? I'd love to hear your favorites!
