A beautifully organized closet!
Enlist a reputable dry-cleaning company for seasonal closet items
When you look at your closet, you may notice a lot of seasonal items that are just taking up space. Make a list of those items, and when the season is over, take them to the dry cleaner to have them cleaned and preserved until the weather shifts again. Coats, comforters, spring dresses or light suits, and other items all fall into this category.
Have a designated area in your closet for the seasonal swap of closet items, so they always have an organized place to go. If you want to be sure that you’re prepared in case the weather makes a sudden shift, keep one item handy like an all-purpose coat.
Go through your closet and donate (or sell) what you don’t wear
Now comes the hard part. Go through your closet and decide what you wear and what you don’t. You can donate these items to charity or sell them at consignment shops or online. As you’re going through each piece of clothing ask yourself questions like, does it fit? Do I want to wear it again? And so on. Also, if there are pieces in your closet that you want to keep but won’t be wearing again such as a wedding dress, take these to the dry cleaners and have them preserved for safe keeping.
Make the most of your space
We’ve already discussed having a designated space for swapping out seasonal items, and now it’s time to find a home for all pieces that remain in the closet throughout the year. Before you get started, make sure you remove everything from the closet. Measure your closet space if you’re trying to fit shelving in it, and tailor all bins, shelving, and baskets to fit your specific area and needs. Fold and hang everything in a way that takes up the least amount of space, but also leaves them accessible.
Consider signing up for home delivery for special care items
There are certain clothes that you don’t mind fading and wearing out faster than other pieces. And then there is clothing like professional attire, formal wear, and special care items that demand more attention to ensure the integrity stays intact. Make this the year that you sign up for home delivery dry cleaning service, so these don’t take up any extra time. All you need to do is have your clothes picked up, professionally cleaned, and delivered, then you can quickly put them away in your organized closet when they arrive at your doorstep!

As the chill of winter fills the air, you will find yourself in need of a few key clothing essentials to help you fight off this cold weather. Dressing the part is important when trying to get ahead in the world of business. You will need to portray an image of professionalism and class in order to show clients you are the real deal. If you are looking for some professional pieces to add to your winter work wardrobe, be sure to check out the list below.
A Nice Wool Overcoat
One of the best materials to use when trying to fight off the cold of winter is wool. Investing in a nice wool overcoat is an excellent way to stay warm and look great while doing it. When trying to select the right overcoat, be sure to get measured by a tailor. The tailor will be able to give you your exact measurements, which will make it much easier on you to get an overcoat that fits snug. Choosing a darker color for your new woolen overcoat will allow you to wear it with a wide variety of suits, ties and pants.
Accessorizing With a Scarf
Another great way to add a bit of appeal to your winter business attire is by selecting the right scarf. One of the biggest mistakes most people make when choosing scarfs is staying safe with the coloring. While the base color of the scarf will need to be a neutral color, let your creativity shine through when choosing the accent colors. Choose bright, bold accent colors to liven up your business outfits and attract a bit of attention in the process.
Don’t Forget About Your Briefcase
When dealing with snowy weather, you will need to find a way to keep all of your important documents safe. Without a durable briefcase, you may lose valuable information due to water getting on your documents. Selecting the right briefcase will require you to think about what type of look you are going for. Leather is always a great briefcase material option due to the resiliency and appeal it has to offer. Try a Tumi brand briefcase for functionality or style, or go all out with a Louis Vuitton.

Are you prepared for the frigid temperatures of winter? One of the main things you need to do when preparing for winter is to get the proper attire. Without a good jacket, you will find it nearly impossible to fight off the cold that is common during this time of year. The team at Crest Cleaners can help you get your jacket clean and in good shape before the chillier weather moves in. Below are some of the things that you will need to do when trying to get your jacket clean and ready to use for the winter.
Read the Label Inside of the Coat
The main thing that you will need to do when attempting to get your jacket properly cleaned is to check the label on the collar. Generally, this collar will feature a variety of instructions regarding how to wash and stain treat the coat in question. Getting to know what the various symbols on clothing tags mean is important when trying to care for a jacket the right way. Be careful to interpret the tag correctly, or you could end up with a shrunken or ripped jacket.
Getting Down Filled Jackets
Among the most popular and effective ways to stay warm during the winter months is by purchasing a down-filled jacket. When the time comes to clean this type of jacket, you will need to be very careful to avoid damaging the garment. Be sure to remove the hood of the jacket and empty the pockets before the cleaning process begins.
You will need to stain treat the jacket before you wash it. Once you have stain treated the down jacket, be sure to flip it inside out before washing it in cold water. You may want to purchase a garment bag for this project to avoid snags and leaking feathers.
Properly Caring for Wool Jackets
Another very popular coat material used by people trying to stay warm during winter is wool. While wool jackets are very aesthetically appealing, it can be a bit difficult to keep them clean, lending themselves to snags and stains. Usually, the only way you will be able to get a wool coat clean is by either hand washing it or putting it in a very gentle cycle in your washing machine. Wool is a very absorbent material and could soak up colors from other articles of laundry, so be sure to wash this jacket by itself. Avoid shrinkage and static by avoiding the dryer.
Most jackets are quite expensive, which is why taking proper precaution when it comes to cleaning them is important. Getting guidance from the team at Crest Cleaners regarding how to properly care for a coat will help you to keep it damage free for years to come. Crest Cleaners has the equipment and the knowledge needed to get clothes and jackets immaculately clean.
