🧥 Time to store your winter clothes and bedding? Follow these simple tips to keep them fresh for next season!
✅ Wash or dry clean everything before storing — invisible stains darken over time & attract insects
🪡 Make repairs first — fix hems, buttons & seams before packing away
📦 Store in a cool, dark, ventilated space — avoid attics, damp basements & garages
🌲 Cedar is your best friend — use cedar chests, blocks, or chips to repel moths
🚫 Skip plastic bags for leather, fur & wool — they trap moisture & cause mildew
🗂️ Fold sweaters & linens in acid-free tissue paper to reduce wrinkles
👗 Hang sweaters over a crossbar (not by the shoulders) to prevent stretching
🧴 No space? Store clean off-season items at the back of the closet with current season pieces on top
Your future self will thank you! 🙌
