Sometimes we find ourselves in a&nbsp;situation where our wardrobes and drawers become overcrowded, and instead of enjoying neatly organized clothes, we end up with piles of items hidden under the bed or stuffed into various cabinets. However, this type of storage can lead to damage. If you don\u2019t want to throw your clothes away but have limited space, the ideal solution is to use a&nbsp;storage unit where you can store clothing when you don\u2019t need it and retrieve it again when the seasons change. Read our tips on how to store clothes properly so that you\u2019ll feel like they are brand new when you take them out.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Wash your clothes thoroughly<\/h3>\n<p>Before storing your clothes, make sure they are clean. Dirty clothing can become even more damaged during <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skladuju.cz\/en\/storage-rental\/\">long-term storage<\/a>, so it\u2019s better to wash it or have it professionally cleaned if needed. Don\u2019t forget to treat any stains, such as those caused by deodorants or perfumes. This will help you avoid issues when you use the clothes again.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Declutter<\/h3>\n<p>Even though it may be difficult, take time to get rid of clothes you no longer wear. Follow a&nbsp;simple rule:<br \/>\nIf you haven\u2019t worn something for more than a&nbsp;year, you probably won\u2019t wear it again.<br \/>\nThrow away damaged clothing. It may be hard, but once you get rid of unnecessary items, you\u2019ll feel much better.<br \/>\nIf you have pieces you\u2019re keeping \u201cjust in case\u201d or think you might use again, it\u2019s best to store them temporarily until you decide what to do with them.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Repair damaged clothing<\/h3>\n<p>If you have clothing that is damaged but you don\u2019t want to throw it away, repair it before storing it. Fixes such as sewing on buttons or mending small holes don\u2019t take much time and will prevent you from dealing with these repairs later.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Store delicate clothing in boxes<\/h3>\n<p>If you plan to store clothing long-term, avoid vacuum bags. While they are great for short-term storage, they are not ideal for delicate materials such as wool or silk over longer periods. Instead, use high-quality cardboard boxes that provide better protection.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Create a&nbsp;labeling system<\/h3>\n<p>If you are storing a&nbsp;larger amount of clothing, consider implementing a&nbsp;labeling system. It will help you easily find the items you need. For better organization, you can also create a&nbsp;list of all stored items to keep track of everything.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Skip ironing<\/h3>\n<p>There is no need to iron clothes before storing them. Clothing stored in boxes will naturally wrinkle over time, and if you want to restore it, it\u2019s better to iron it after taking it out of storage. This will save you effort.<\/p>\n<h3>7. Pack clothes properly<\/h3>\n<p>When packing clothes into boxes, make sure heavier items such as shoes or handbags are placed at the bottom, while lighter clothing goes on top. Fold items carefully to maximize space. Although it may be tempting to stuff everything into one box, it\u2019s better to avoid this \u2013 overfilled boxes can easily tear.<\/p>\n<h3>8. Store clothing in the right place<\/h3>\n<p>To protect your clothes, it\u2019s important to store them in a&nbsp;dry, cool, and dark environment.<\/p>\n<h3>9. Store seasonal accessories<\/h3>\n<p>If you like to combine outfits with accessories such as handbags, shoes, scarves, or gloves, you know how much space these items can take up when not in use. Instead of leaving them unused for months, you can store them together with your clothing.<\/p>\n<h3>How to make the most of storage space<\/h3>\n<p>If you follow these tips, you can be sure your clothing will remain in good condition while in storage.
