How to organise your wardrobe: Some essential storage tips
You might be excited and tempted to organise your wardrobe and throw all you off season clothes into storage container. So here are some essential storage tips.
Wash your clothes
Anything that is removed from the closet should be washed properly before ...
... dumping into storage bin or donating it to someone. This is important to get rid of any dirt, dust, grim or smell. This will help in preventing stains and discoloration and keeping your clothes smelling fresh throughout the winter. It will also let you assess and treat any stain that might be lingering and you have forgotten about and can create havoc in the bin by staining other clothes already present in that storage.
Sort and donate unwanted clothes
Keep a donation box aside and after washing asses the clothes you don't wear or don't want to wear. This will create space for new clothes and have a clean storage box/wardrobe. There are different organisations where you can donate these clothes, just make sure that the clothes are clean and not torn.
Decide whether to fold or to hang
There are clothes that can be folded and kept in a storage bin but some clothes like expensive dresses, suits, and other formal wear are required to be hanged, therefore look for garment bags and wardrobe storage boxes.
Choose the appropriate containers
Make sure the bag you are using does not trap moisture else it may lead to mould or mildew growth.
Do not overpack your bins
There are a wide variety of storage options available in the packaging industry such as cloth bags, plastic bins, cardboard removal boxes etc. Choose what suits best for your clothes. Go for containers that are good for long term storage, that let your clothes breathe and also save them from pests. Also, do not overpack your bins as this may damage your clothes in the long run.
Include pest repellents
Some pests like beetles and moths are smart enough to make their way into the storage even if the bins are sealed tightly. Therefore, it is a must to include moth repellent in each clothing container. This will not only save your clothes from pests but will leave your clothing smelling fresh.
Check on your storage
Likewise, it is important to keep moth repellent, keep a check on them to make sure all your clothes are safe. Do not just abandon them. Keep inspecting your storage containers if they are free from cracks, stains, or other damage.
