Summer Storage Solutions
School is back in session and the cool weather is coming. You know
what that means- autumn is on the way! Here are some tips on storing
your spring and summer clothing to make room for your warmer clothes:
Separate your garments. Remove all shorts, tank tops and
other summer items from your closet.
Check the condition of your clothes. Before packing your
clothes away for the season make sure there are no stains on the
items. Dry-clean or wash them as unseen stains can set in over time
and cause damage such as fading.
Store your items in a dry, dark, cool and clean place. Avoid
placing clothes in a warm or wet area such as attic or basement.
This can lead to mold or insects on your clothes. Always make sure
your storage place has been thoroughly cleaned before using it.
Let your garments breathe. Never store clothing in sealed
plastic bags or airtight containers. The lack of ventilation can
cause moisture to form.
Use hangers for delicates. Plastics and padded hangers
work best. Clothing is less likely to experience shape distortion. |
