what excellent tips, thanks for sharing (referring to: above posters)

Will begin putting dryer sheets and bars of soap in my clothing bins.
Can I put regular bars of soaps, collected from various hotels?

yes. if you're nervous about it, leave the soap wrapped in paper or use only white bars. I have never had a problem with any kind of soap, any color, but I usually leave the paper on until the soap has dried out. Sometime if soap is too fresh it's sort of wet, and if it's colored, I wouldn't trust it till it dried.

Pesach time I go through all the stored clothing and kids clotihing and throw out all the worn out cloths, stained, and clothing that I don't put on my kids (get them for presents). I get rid of the clutter and the used out clothing that were worn from you to the other after three girls things start to fade out badly. So what I did with my last girl I rewent shopping for the basics that I didn't have like more socks, undershirts and some shirts but not to many.

I used to have a whole room stocked with stored clothing until I started to clean out a little bit. Now I have one closet filled with all my kids clothing in boxes. Each month I have another box for like 0-3 etc. and for the older ones it goes by size but not by seasons to many more boxes to have around for no reason.

As for garbage bags I used to store everything in garbage bags but when I need something they use to rip on me. Boxes is the best bet you can open and close them easly.

So u know now what I've done b/c space is getting a bissel meshuga here. I sell on consignment or give away the clothes that don't fit and eigther buy consignment or buy new later if they or a new child will need it. So basically I have no old clothes here Wink
