Once we know the 5 barriers that make renting a storage room reluctant, then we will tell you about the 5 reasons why a storage room can make your life easier. In this news we are going to shell out the 7 tips to make the wardrobe change.
In a few days spring begins and, as with every change of season, it is also time to make a change of the clothes we have in our closets. Since not all of us are lucky enough to have a dressing room large enough to store all our hanging clothes, when these dates arrive there is no choice but to organize and store the clothes that are no longer in season and store them in the storage room. It can be an arduous and heavy task, but we are going to give you 7 tips so that when you go to use your clothes again, you will find them in perfect condition.
1. Store everything in places that are free of dust, moisture, clean and safe
We do not recommend storage rooms that are in the basement of buildings since many have humidity problems and share space with cars and their pollution.
2. Wash all the clothes that you are going to store without softener or bleach and with little detergent
This way you will avoid unpleasant odors that detergents leave on clothes when they are stored for a long time. Also pay attention to white clothes, because they yellow over time if we keep them without washing.
3. Wash but do not iron
Since ironing yellows garments stored for a long time and that do not air out.
4. Store clothing, whenever possible, in cloth bags or cardboard boxes
Since they allow tissues to breathe. If you opt for transparent plastic bags or boxes, you should know that this type of packaging is suitable when you have to store clothes in a very humid place. There are also vacuum storage systems, in which you put the folded clothes in special bags and then remove the air with a vacuum cleaner. This way you save a lot of space.
5. Protect your clothes from moths and separate your shoes from the rest of your clothes
Distribute moth bags in the different boxes, bags and covers to prevent clothes from getting holes. Also, to prevent odors from mixing, clean the shoes before putting them away, put cream on them if they are made of leather, and make sure they don't get crushed so you don't find them deformed next season.
6. Always use boxes to store accessories, such as scarves, headbands and belts
Allows you to always have them located, at hand and not get lost among the rest of the garments.
7. With a marker, number the boxes on the outside and write down what is inside on a list.
You can write it down on a piece of paper, on your computer or in a mobile phone application. In this way you will know what is inside each box within 6 months and you will be able to select what you want to locate when you go to take things out of your storage room.
These are the best tips we can give you so that you find your clothes in the same state in which you stored them.
