The best way to store clothing long-term involves careful preparation and suitable materials to ensure items stay pristine. Firstly, clean all clothing thoroughly before storage to remove oils and stains that could attract pests or cause fabric degradation. Use acid-free tissue paper to wrap delicate items and place them in breathable cotton garment bags to protect against dust and mildew. For knitwear and heavier items, fold them neatly and store them in plastic bins with tight-fitting lids, avoiding plastic bags that can trap moisture and lead to mould growth. Consider using silica gel packets or a dehumidifier within the storage area to maintain a dry environment, preventing moisture buildup. Lastly, choose a cool, dark, and dry storage space to prevent fading and deterioration from temperature fluctuations and light exposure, ensuring your clothing remains in excellent condition for years.
To store clothing and fabrics at Yellowhead Storage in Edmonton while minimizing wrinkles and odors, follow these guidelines. Begin by thoroughly cleaning and laundering your clothing items before storage to remove any dirt or sweat that can attract odors. Use breathable garment bags or fabric storage boxes to allow air circulation and prevent creasing. Avoid overpacking items into containers, as this can lead to wrinkles and compression. Consider using moisture-absorbing products like silica gel packets to combat humidity and prevent musty odors. For longer-term storage, periodically check your clothing to ensure they remain in good condition and refresh them by gently shaking and fluffing.
