How I Keep Clothes Closet Clutter to a Minimum
I discovered an easy way to keep my clothes closet clutter to a minimum. The
other day I was in Wal-mart and purchased a 24-pack of natural wood hangers. I
then came home, removed everything from my clothes closet and put it all on my
bed, and hung the hangers. Now I had a goal...to hang ONLY the tops I loved and
wore the very most...and it had to be within that 24 hanger limit.
Whatever was left over after my 24 hangers were filled, (and I no longer wanted
to give up something on a hanger with something on my bed) was donated.
My closet is so clean and organized now...I just love it! Plus, now someone
else will benefit from clothing that was just hanging there, never being worn.
Note: this applied to tops only...I'm implementing a similar system for bottoms
next week.
Hope this tip helps one of your readers, like it helped me.

Get Rid of Clutter...
And Generate Some Spending Cash!
Every single spring and fall, I host a garage sale. Why? Because it's a great
way to get rid of any clutter that accumulated during the past season AND it
generates some extra spending cash, which is always welcome! Because of this, I
have many methods and secrets that revolve around running a very profitable
garage sale... and getting rid of as much of your merchandise too. It can all be
found in my Garage Sale Toolkit. Visit:
getorganizednow.com/garage-sale-toolkit.html
Scroll further down in this issue to find out how you can get 3 complimentary
bonuses when you get your hands on my Garage Sale Toolkit before
Monday, March 19th!
GON Reader Letter: One of My Favorite Jokes
I thought I'd share one of my favorite jokes with you and your readers. Here
goes...
A man asked his wife what she wanted for her birthday. She replied, 'Oh just get
me anything with diamonds, and make it easy on yourself.' Her husband got her a
pack of playing cards!

A Reader Asks, 'How Do I Clean the Kitchen Walls of Grease Before Painting'
A GON Reader Asks
What can I use to really. really, really clean kitchen walls of grease to
prepare for painting? And is there a base paint that is needed? Thank you.
Jackie Warner
Maria Gracia Responds
Hi Jackie,
Good question, because you definitely do not want to paint over grease,
otherwise, once the new paint is dry, that grease is going to reappear. I'll
also warn you that the following is probably going to seem like a big pain and a
lot of work. That's because, it is, unfortunately. That being said, following
the proper steps will help ensure the best results in the end. Here goes...
There is a degreaser cleaner available called Simple Green All-Purpose Cleaner
and it works great for this purpose. Spray it on the walls and then scrub to
remove grease and other dirt. If you find areas of hardened grease that won't
scrub off easily, those areas will need to be scraped off with a putty knife.
Then, use the degreaser afterwards.
After that, you're probably going to want to lightly sand your walls with 100-
grit sandpaper. Be sure to wipe off any residue, after doing so, with a damp
rag. This is also the time to spakle and sand any divets or holes.
As far as primer goes, there's always the age-old question whether or not it is
necessary. If you're going from a dark color to a light color, you'll definitely
need to use primer first. If the previous coat of paint is glossy, you may need
to use primer first as well, as new paint doesn't stick as well to glossy
surfaces.
Check with your local paint store and find out what they recommend, which
by the way, they almost always recommend you use primer first because it's
the safest answer for them...and for you.
When you're ready to paint kitchen walls, I recommend a satin or semi-gloss
finish as both are easy to clean.
There's nothing like a freshly painted kitchen...I'm excited for you!
