With us so far? Good! Here are some tips on effectively storing your clothing using UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of San Antonio containers.
Do wash and completely dry all clothes
Wash and completely dry all clothes. When storing your clothes, it is best to wash them beforehand. Washing them beforehand will ensure that your clothes are clean and no stains or odors. However, you must be sure to have the garments completely dried out, as even a little bit of moisture on your clothing can be a breeding ground for mold.
Do use boxes or plastic containers with a plastic clip on the lid
Boxes or plastic containers with plastic clip lids are the best solutions for storing most things, especially clothing. They provide extra protection for your garments in case of any scenario, and they also are easily stackable and organized based on your seasonal needs.
Don’t use vacuum seal bags, plastic bags, and cardboard
Natural fibers such as wool and silk in a plastic bag can be damaged by the vacuum seal and make clothing lose shape over time. Although it may seem like a good idea and a quick fix to use plastic bags, they can be a breeding ground for mold and bacteria. The same goes for cardboard boxes, and they can sometimes even deteriorate and break down over time. It is best to avoid these methods if you store them for a more extended period.
Check on storage unit periodically
It is always a good call to check on your unit periodically to make sure everything is happy and healthy.
By using storage and adequately storing your garments, you can keep your clothes and closets looking their best while also saving time and money!
