Here is an organizing challenge that many of my clients create for themselves over and over again: what to do with the clothes that have been worn once and are not quite dirty.

I find many people create holding zones for clothes that are not quite dirty and yet not quite clean. In my opinion, similar to being pregnant, clothes can’t be halfway anything. They are either dirty and in need of a wash or clean enough to wear again. Do not put them into a half way zone. Make your decision when you take them off and do what needs to be done. If they are not dirty enough to be put into the hamper, then they can be worn again. Do not hang them on your exercise bike!

When clothes are piled up, they are forgotten about. Even if you want to wear something again, will you know where to look for it? And will you still want to wear it once you realize it’s wrinkled from sitting in a pile? By hanging clothes that have been worn, you’re also allowing the fabric to air out, making it much more likely they will be fresh enough to wear again when the time comes.

If you find yourself hyperventilating as you read this, here is a possible solution. Hang the ones that are gently worn backwards on the rod in your closet, or hang them together in one section. For folded clothes, keep them at the top of the pile. When you do your laundry, you can always double check these areas and decide whether or not they need to be washed after all.

Whatever you need to do, do not pass go and do not create a separate holding zone for these items. It will only cause complete confusion, take up unnecessary space and cost you more time later.
