If you're a minimalist that wants a break from all of whites, blacks, and beiges then consider giving your closet an acrylic moment.

These non slip acrylic hangers come in a pack of 10 and hang a variety of different garments: coats, suit jackets, blouses, tees, shirts, and even dresses.

I'd highly recommend these if you have a modern apartment in the city or your overall aesthetic is contemporary and fresh.

Listen… 

I love a beautiful and rich aesthetic and these hangers from Wayfair embody both of those characteristics. 

When you're facilitating a closet clean out session you want to progressively make your closet better each and every time that you do one – which should be about 4 times per year by the way.

One of the most cost efficient ways to enhance your closet and make it look better is by purchasing functional and attractive hangers like these.

Fabric Shavers

Fabric shavers are a must have tool for closet clean out sessions because they remove unsightly items such as: lint, fuzz, and, pills without damaging the fabric. 

Below I've listed my top three fabric shaver recommendations (in order from the lowest price point to the highest price point. As well as recommendations with manual and digital functions).

Raise your hand if you've ever contemplated throwing away a shirt or pair of pants because it had pills or fuzzy stuff on it. 

Well if you raised your hand I have exciting news for you… 

This fabric shaver is going to help save both of those fabrics and give you a little bit more time with them (isn't that great?!).

Not only does this shaver feature a modern and beautiful design, but it's portable and has three stainless steel blades (which means that you should be able to get through more clothes in a shorter time frame).

If you're transitioning to a more sustainable wardrobe or have children (who you're doing a closet clean out session for) then I recommend this stain remover. 

It's a vegan stain remover that removes all sorts of stains (grease, mold, mildew, etc.), it's chlorine free (so no overbearing smells or harmful chemicals on your clothing/skin), and it's fast acting (if I treat my stains ASAP they're gone within tw...
