Hello everyone!
Since is summer time it's time to put some stuff away to make room for new ones of the new season and for more light clothes.
Clothing Storage Tips:
"If you live in a 4 season climate, you should store off-season clothing carefully to avoid damage from insects, mildew and mold. Be sure to wash and dry all garments thoroughly before storing. Do not store clothes in plastic bags or airtight containers.
Leather and suede should be stored in a closet that is cool and well ventilated. The garments are best covered with white muslin that’s been washed. Supple leather garments should be laid flat and padded well with white tissue.
Rayon should also be stored flat. If the garment has to be hung, pad it with white tissue and cover it with clean, white muslin.
Linen garments should be rolled. If you feel you must fold them, be sure to refold often to avoid fabric from becoming permanently creased. Always cover with white muslin that’s been washed.
Knitted and silk fabrics should always be stored flat. If you feel you must hang these garments, be sure to pad well with white tissue and cover it with white muslin.
Garments made of metallic fabric should be rolled with tissue paper separating each layer.Always clean garments that are to be stored. Insects are attracted to drink, food and perspiration.
Areas where garments are stored should be dark and clean. Light fades colours and attracts insects.
Never store clothing in a cold basement or hot attic. Extreme temperatures will damage your clothes.
Cotton, linen, silk and wool are all natural fibers. Always store these in a well ventilated area.
Love your clothes like they are always new. Have a nice day!
