Assemble Some Attire Stowage Gear. Putting away your summer attire becomes cushy when equipped with the right arsenal. Hangers: Various types of hangers are essential for a job well-executed. Accumulate some robust hangers that shall neither corrode nor tarnish your fabrics (no wire ones, please). Wooden hangers steal our hearts. Ensure your chosen hangers bear the load of even the bulkiest garments. Employ contoured hangers for jackets to support those shoulders. Skirts and trousers ought to be suspended by waistbands on skirt hangers to dodge creases. Silken garments must be draped on cushioned or flocked hangers, so they stay put during their slumber.
Storage Satchels: Storage pouches come in fabric and plastic varieties. Cloth or fiber casings facilitate airflow, keeping dampness at bay. Plastic serves its purpose but hinders air circulation, increasing the likelihood of moldy surprises. If reusing last year’s fabric cases, give them a good wash to rid them of any lingering dust and spores. If fabric pouches aren’t in the budget, a pure cotton sheet or pillowcase with a small hanger hole will do the trick, preventing dirt accumulation while allowing the covers to breathe.
Storage Crates: Some materials warrant a folded rest, like knits. Opt for polypropylene plastic storage bins. Cardboard containers must be acid-free to avert discoloration and staining.
Purge Your Wardrobe

Dispose of damaged, stained items and isolate a pile for donation. If you’re attached to a beyond-repair piece, snap a pic as a shopping reference.

Avoid starch application, as it calls forth fabric-devouring insects. For dry cleaned pieces, ditch the flimsy plastic covers to evade moisture-induced woes like mildew and discoloration.

Assess your seasonal stash space for mold or mildew to avert garment damage. Steer clear of damp storage spots, but if desperate, place DampRid in the vicinity and refresh it bi-monthly.
