Store your clothes like it’s couture

Buying clothes is easy but maintaining them is important. Don’t store clothes in a plastic bag and before storing dry clean them, say experts. Here are some suggestions: Before packing the clothes, dry clean and wash them. Dirty clothing can attract vermin and insects, which may damage your clothing.

Avoid plastic bags as they can trap moisture and cause mildew, which spoil the fabrics. Acid-free boxes and tissue paper should be used as not all plastic boxes are s afe. They release chemicals, which could have negative effects on the clothing.

The right hangers are a must. With all the same hangers, your wardrobe will look like an emporium. If all the garments are level, they are easier to see. Try the rubber covered non-slip hanger.
