Some Tips for storing clothes


Summer comes-or a change of season, and we need to store the clothes for a few months. How can we store them so that when the next season comes, they are  in perfect condition?

1) It helps to store them according to types, shirts with shirts, pants with pants etc. Hang skirts, pants, suits etc.. on hangers, and store them in protective plastic bags or bags made of cloth. It is better to store skirts on hangers with clamps. Please do not use wire hangers because they can distort the garments.
2) Jackets and blouses, when hang up should be buttoned, one or two buttons on the top to keep its shape.
3) The rest can be stored in plastic bags, all clean and neatly pressed. If kept well, when removed they can be  used directly or given  a light ironing to remove some wrinkles that may have formed.
4) Wool sweaters and jackets are best stored neatly folded because if you hang them they may lose their shape.
5) The leather garments are not stored in plastic bags because they need ventilation, better to use fabric cover.
6) Store shoes clean, putting a  newspaper or other paper in front to avoid them getting deformed.
7) To prevent moisture one may put some baking soda into a small cloth bag.
