So, in the spirit of helping people get their lives organized, we\u2019ve compiled five life hacks you can use as the season changes from summer to fall. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hanging Clothes Switch Out<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All those summer dresses and light clothing hanging in your closet are taking precious space that you\u2019re going to need for all your warmer winter clothes. But since this is an annual ritual, we suggest thinking about a long term solution. Don\u2019t bother taking each item off its hanger and folding it for storage. Instead, buy a rolling clothes rack that has a cover. Simply pull all the hanging clothes you won\u2019t be wearing for the next 6 (ack!) months, hang them on the rack and close up the cover and store in your basement, or better yet, in your Lock Up Self Storage unit.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dresser Drawers Switch Out<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those items that are already folded, you\u2019ll want to reduce the amount of storage space they\u2019ll take up. Plastic bins are a typical solution, but consider using the storage bags that you can vacuum seal. They keep out dirt and bugs, plus they flatten your items down to manageable sizes that you can stack on top of one another for easy storage. An added bonus is that they\u2019re clear so you can see what\u2019s inside.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tall Fall Boots<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tis the season for boots. That means floppy, unruly boots taking up floor space. We have two easy hacks for that. One is to stuff something inside each boot to make them stand upright. Old magazines work well, or if you\u2019re feeling crafty, take a pool noodle and cut it to size. The other solution is for people with tons of closet space: take pants hangers and clip your boots onto them so you can hang them up and out of the way.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last Season Salt Cleanse<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re not talking about a spa treatment for you&#8230;we\u2019re talking about that problem you have when you pull out your cold weather shoes and boots only to find they\u2019re stained white with unsightly road salt. Don\u2019t fret. The solution is easy and you probably already have it in your kitchen&#8230;white vinegar. Simply moisten a clean cloth with some vinegar and wipe away last year\u2019s muck. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Warm Your Feet<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the temperatures begin to drop, consider this diy life hack to warm up your favorite shoes: take a piece of thick wool and cut out insole-sized pieces to place in your shoes. Your feet will thank you.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have a fall closet life hack to share with us?
