closet cleanout

Organizing stored belongings

A closet cleanout is the process of sorting through clothes and other items stored in a closet, deciding what to keep, donate, or discard.

The term implies a thorough purge rather than casual tidying: I did a major closet cleanout and filled three bags for Goodwill.

Often undertaken seasonally or when moving.
