Packing Seasonal Clothes Like This Will Prevent Them From Getting Moldy Or Wrinkled, And Save Half The Space.

It’s time for spring and summer to change again, and every time I open my closet and look at the cabinet full of winter clothes, I get a headache.

In the past, I would randomly stack sweaters and down jackets, and then stuff them into the top layer of the wardrobe or into vacuum bags. However, when I took them out in the fall, the clothes were either moldy and had a strange smell, or were wrinkled like pickled pickles. As for the down jackets, they became lumpy and lost their warmth-keeping function.

It took 8 years to go through the pits and purchase many Internet celebrity storage tools. It cost a lot of money, but the storage situation became more and more messy.

Later, I helped hundreds of friends organize their wardrobes, and finally figured out a method that didn't use vacuum bags and didn't cost a lot of money. It was very easy to use and allowed clothes to be stored for a whole year without getting moldy or wrinkled, and it also had half more space.

The first step: must be washed before collection

For many people, the first step in storing clothes after changing seasons is to fold clothes. In fact, this is a big mistake.

90% of clothes become moldy and smelly because they were put away before being washed.

A piece of clothing worn in winter contains sweat stains, grease, dandruff, and traces of hidden food residues. If it is stored in a cabinet and left in a humid environment for an entire summer, mold and mites will inevitably breed.

Therefore, no matter how clean the clothes look, they must be thoroughly washed and dried thoroughly before being stored.

I was lazy before and put them away before washing them, which resulted in the ruin of several woolen coats. Please don’t step on this trap.

Don’t fold thick clothes if they can be hung

It is wrong to fold thick clothes such as coats, down jackets, and suits into storage boxes.

If the down jacket is stacked for a long time, the kind of creases that cannot be reversed and restored to its original shape will appear. No matter how you iron it, you can't make it flat. If the down jacket is stacked for a long time, the down will condense into lumps and never become fluffy again.

The correct approach should be to never fold clothes that can be hung. Instead, use hangers with wide-shouldered, non-marking features to hang the clothes in the long clothes area of ​​the wardrobe. This wide-shouldered hanger can support the shoulder line of the clothes and prevent them from deforming.

Here is a unique tip. Before hanging the down jacket, you need to gently tap out the air inside the down jacket, and then fold it in half. Then use a hanger hook to pass through the cuffs and hang it up. This way, the down will not clump, and at the same time, half of the space for hanging clothes can be saved.

Sweaters can be folded vertically to save space

Heavy sweaters and knitted sweaters are not suitable for hanging for a long time. They will become longer and longer and the neckline will be deformed.

This type of clothing needs to be stacked, but do not stack it horizontally so that it forms a block and clumps together, otherwise the whole pile will be cluttered if you try to find one item.

Try to use the vertical folding method, fold the sweaters into small rectangular rolls, and place them vertically in a storage box or drawer like a book. The sides of each sweater are exposed, and you can clearly know which one is which at a glance. When you take it out, it will not mess up the others. You can store twice as many clothes in the same space.

Friends who live in the south should remember to place a dehumidification bag in the corner of the storage box and a natural mothball to prevent moisture and insects.

Never use vacuum bags on down jackets

Vacuum bags are the fastest way to ruin a down jacket.

The key to keeping a down jacket warm is that the down is fluffy to lock in the air. If a vacuum bag is used to drain the air, the down will be squeezed to the point of clumping and the down will break. If it is left for a whole summer and then taken out, it will no longer be fluffy, and the warmth will be directly reduced to half of its original value.

The correct method is to use a large storage box to store the down jacket that has been washed and air-dried to make it fluffy. Gently fold it in half and put it in. Do not press hard to keep the down in a fluffy state. Place two packs of dehumidification bags inside the box, close the lid and place it in a dry and ventilated place.

The down jacket stored in this way will be as fluffy as new after being taken out for a whole year.

Classify and store small items without clutter

Small scarves, small hats, small gloves, small autumn clothes and autumn trousers, these things are randomly stuffed into corners, and you will definitely not be able to find them in winter.

Pick out the express cartons that are no longer used at home, cut them into small square grids, place the cut small grids in the storage box, and then place various small items into different grids according to categories. In this way, everything is clear and you can find what you need within a second.

Use mooncake boxes or shoe boxes to divide underwear, underwear, socks and other intimate clothing into small grids for classification and placement. It is neat and hygienic, and there is no need to spend money on Internet celebrity storage boxes.

Seasonal storage is never about buying a bunch of internet celebrity tools, it’s about finding the right method.

Remember these five points, that is, store them after cleaning, do not fold them if they are suitable for hanging, stack sweaters vertically, do not use vacuum bags for down jackets, and place small items in categories. In this way, your wardrobe can stay fresh all year long, and you will no longer have to worry about it when the seasons change.
