I love that idea!! Thanks for that 
I've just dropped off 6 handbags/clutchbags, some jewellery which I've never worn (gifts which I feel guilty about) and children's books at the charity shop. It feels great.

Ah yes, gifts which one feels guilty about... Difficult, that.

Offloaded three bags of clothes in the Yorkshire Air Ambulance collecting point today. Also have a full Ikea bag more sorted out to go but I need to remove lots of cat hair first. Then wash. I think if I just wash them the machine might jam up. 🙄 Parts got practically felted with hair when I stored them in a wardrobe a previous cat liked to sleep in, which shows I should have just donated them years ago. Still, the cat was happy.
They won’t trigger allergies after washing, will they?

They might if some one is very sensitive, but if that’s the case they will be careful of where they get their clothes from.

Defluff, vacuum then wash. Can’t think of anything else to do, and don’t want to landfill them. Apart from the obvious, they’re all in very good condition.

pop some rubber gloves on, dampen them then rub down the clothes, cat hairs will easily be removed.

That sounds like an excellent plan, Mrs Jigs - do you mean domestic or disposable type? I’ve found damp hands good with the lighter areas, but they don’t touch the felted bits. Can’t believe one cat managed to deposit so much fur just by brushing past the edges and sitting on the top - at least twice day for years, though. Lesson learnt for me, I hope - declutter early and often.
