It's time to change seasons again, and the closet is filled with down jackets, coats, and thick sweaters. Every time I take them out, they are wrinkled like pickles.
Last week, in the community group, someone complained about stuffing the down jacket into a compression bag last year, and when he opened it this year, he smelled a strange smell, and the fabric also lost its fluffiness.
In fact, storing thick clothes is not extremely difficult. If you use the existing boxes and bags at home properly, you can save half of the space even without buying new cabinets.
The following 6 tricks are all based on practical experience that I have tried personally.
1. Don’t wait for Spring Festival travel with your suitcases
Many people have empty suitcases at home, which are usually piled in a corner and gathering dust.
In fact, it is a ready-made storage artifact.
Place down jackets and cotton-padded jackets flatly on the table, toward the neckline, starting from the hem of the garments, and roll them into a tight sushi-shaped roll. A 24-inch box can easily fit 6 to 8 pieces of such rolled clothing.
Remember to leave some gaps between each roll to allow air circulation.
Throw two packs Moisture-proof agent Go in, close the lid, and push it under the bed.
The next year, if you take it out and shake it a few times, there will be basically no wrinkles. Hang it in the bathroom and use steam fumigation for ten minutes to return to its original appearance.
The key is that it costs zero, and there is no need to buy additional storage boxes.
2. Don’t throw away the cloth bag that comes with buying a quilt.
Those thick non-woven bags are zippered and dust-proof. Many people just throw them away if they are too ugly.
In fact, it is born with dustproof film , especially suitable for wool coats and fleece pants.
Take a long coat, fold it in half, add two thick sweaters and a pair of fleece pants, fasten the zipper of the bag containing these items, and then place it directly horizontally on the upper level of the wardrobe.
A bag can hold half a grid without weighing down clothes.
Put a label on the bag to clearly indicate the contents, so you don’t have to rummage through the box when you get it next year.
The air permeability of this kind of bag is much better than plastic compression bags, and the clothes will not smell after being stored for a year.
3. Baina box is not an IQ tax
Someone online said Baina box It's useless, that's because I didn't buy the right style.
Choose the kind with a soft bag and a steel frame that can bend and stretch.
Fold the sleeves of the down jacket inward, fold it in half from left to right, and then roll it upward from the hem. Seven pieces can be easily stuffed inside.
After stuffing, the edges can be pinched flat, and the cabinet door will not get stuck when closing the door.
The most important thing is that it has double openings on the top and bottom. If you want to get the item below, you don’t need to dump everything on top, which is particularly friendly to the waist.
When purchasing, look for ones with transparent windows on the side. The contents inside can be seen clearly at a glance without having to open each box to check.
4. Don’t waste space under the bed
The bottom of the bed is the easiest place to accumulate dust, but it is also a prime storage area.
First, measure the height of the bed frame from the ground before buying Flat drawer box , the height should not exceed 15 cm.
First fold the mid-length coat in half, lay it flat, and then pull it out like a drawer so that you can see every piece of clothing.
No more kneeling on the ground to dig out clothes in a dark hole.
Place a layer of old sheets on the bottom of the drawer box to prevent moisture and scratches.
Two or three boxes can be stacked at the end of the bed, which is neat and does not affect walking.
Remember not to stuff it too full and leave a little space for easy pulling out.
5. There are correct gestures for rolling clothes
Those tutorials on the Internet for folding tofu cubes are not practical at all.
Thick clothes are folded too squarely and will be full of dead pleats when opened next year.
This is the correct way to do it: first, fold the clothes in half from left to right, then tuck the sleeves inside to make them flat, and then start from the hem of the clothes and roll them upward.
In this way, the stress is dispersed. Next year, there will be only one fold, which can be flattened by steaming it in the bathroom for ten minutes.
Don't make it too tight when you roll it, just have the right amount of elasticity to keep it fluffy.
Delicate fabrics such as cashmere sweaters and woolen sweaters are best stored flat. If they are rolled up, they will easily deform, so you can use a separate non-woven bag to lay them flat.
6. Decrease before storing
Many people have more and more money every year, and their wardrobes are getting fuller and fuller.
Before you put away clothes, sort out the ones you haven’t worn in two years.
Don't feel pity and just throw it into the community's used clothes recycling bin. Many communities can get points by scanning the code and redeem them for eggs.
The remaining items are divided into three categories: outdoor, commuting, and home, and the labels are affixed to the sides of the storage boxes.
Next time, finding clothes will be as fast as ordering food, and it will be located in one second.
Finally, to be honest, no matter how fragrant the smart storage box is, it cannot cure the disease of buying too much.
Reduce first and then store, and the space will truly belong to you.
Once you get into the habit of going through your closet every year when the seasons change, storage will not be a hassle at all.
