Despite the inevitable cold, fall can be a beautiful season. Enjoy it while it lasts!

Put away summer clothes and accessories

You’re not very likely to wear your swimming suits and summer dresses now, so switch out seasonal items. While you’re at it, look through everything that you’ve worn over the past few months, wash it, mend it, and store it away.

Treat fall cleaning as an opportunity to declutter

Looking through your closet is the moment to consider what you don’t wear or use anymore. There’s no point in keeping items you don’t like or need, so consider getting rid of them. If they’re still in a good condition, donate rather than throw away. It’s great to know that something you feel indifferent about can bring joy and be useful to someone else.
