Proper care of clothes : How to protect while stored

Clothing is an important part of our personality, and it is very important to take proper care of one’s clothes when they are stored with the aid of storage bags, so that they are in the same shape and quality when they are used the next time around. However, many times we neglect the importance of proper storage of clothes, and later regret for not taking appropriate measures, which results in them getting spoiled for various reasons. Following are a few measures one needs to take while keeping garments for use in the next season.

It’s not particularly essential to iron clothes before storing them for the next season, but washing them is an absolute necessity, since you are to use them most probably after at least 6-8 months, and germs can easily damage any type of fabric within this time span. Additionally, ironing could be a big help in storage, since it allows clothes to be stored with minimum space, plus keeping them in proper shape.

Coming to more details in washing, the washing instructions must always be followed. If the label of a particular silk or satin shirt specifies hand wash in lukewarm water, the directions must be particularly adhered to. Although not many clothes would be affected much even if there are slight modifications, the ones that would be, are usually the more expensive ones, and the effect worsens if you store them for a long span of time after washing incorrectly.

The next point concerns with the storage space. It is extremely important to make sure that the amount of storage space you allot for your clothes is proper. This is particularly important for clothes that are to be stored for a longer duration of time, like sweaters and coats, since if you don’t have the proper storage, you would want to stuff all the garments inside the storage bag, and this would result in their shape getting spoilt.

The last point concerns with the kind of storage bags you use. It is preferred that you go for under-bed storage bags if you are having space available on the underside of your bed, since it is a very convenient option, and frees you of the burden to put stuff in those high placed shelves and then having to make the effort to take them out again.
