6 Tips On How to Store Winter Clothes 0
There is no more beautiful day than the one you realize that you will not wear your thick sweaters and coats until next winter. The heavy winter is over and now is the time to start wearing your spring clothes.
Here are the 6 things you need to remember if you want to store your winter clothes properly over time.
- Start by cleaning everything
The biggest and most effective tip is to start by washing and ironing all the clothes you are going to pack. And when we say everything, we mean everything. We know that this is a very tedious process but unfortunately it has to be done even if you have not worn some clothes, these will definitely have come in contact with your worn clothes and their smells.
- Remove any plastic bag from your clothes
Never store anything with the bag from the dry cleaner that covers your articles. Plastic bags trap moisture that can damage your clothes.
- Invest in special plastic storage bags
- Pack sensitive clothes differently
Sensitive clothes, such as silk, cashmere, and organza, must be carefully wrapped in a special paper and stored in 100% cotton bags.
- Do not hang the sweaters
Even if you have a lot of closets and you intend to store your sweaters in them, do not hang them as they will overflow. Instead, fold them carefully and store them in storage bags, removing as much air as possible. It is advisable to put some anti-moth in the storage bags, and your clothes will remain in the best possible condition until next winter.
- Store them in the right place
Make sure your clothes are stored in a cool, clean, dry, and dark place like up high in a closet. You may use a motorized closet rod or a manual pull-down closet rod to access hanging clothes in the unused closet space at the top where a shelf is unreachable because of its height. This way you can take advantage of that valuable space. It is also an excellent solution for anyone with a physical disability.
