Simple Tasks - Clothes Storage Week - Tank tops

Tank tops, camisoles, undershirts. Call them what you will, but we all have them. These shirts usually serve as a base layer under our nicer tops, so they seldom go totally seen. But that is no reason to neglect them! Tanks are still subjected to stains, discolorations, stretching, and shrinking, and these things can cause us to avoid wearing them and result in more clutter. An incorrect fit can also cause your over-shirts to ride up or look slouchy!

Today, gather all those tanks together. Spread them out and group by color so you can see exactly how many you have of each one before you examine them. Then ask yourself

*How many of each color do I need?
*Do any have stains that will show through?
*Are white tanks turning yellow/brown?
*Do they all fit appropriately?
*Are any of them threadbare or overstretched?

If your tanks are still wearable, donate to a clothing drive or thrift store. If they are stained or have holes, throw them in your bag for fabric recycling.

For the tanks you keep, decide how you want to store them. Does hanging or folding work better for your storage space? And how should a tank be folded? Check out this video from acclaimed organizer Linda Koopersmith.
