The sun is up and mercury is starting to rise. It is time to say a goodbye to the winter season, and that comes with putting away the warm clothes. While it might seem like a daunting task, it is essential to store the winter clothes in a manner that they are ready to use in the next season. Here are easy tips and tricks to store winter clothes in a proper way that does not take up much space.

Clean, wash, dry the clothes

Before putting away the winter clothes, it is essential to clean them thoroughly. Make sure the clothes are washed and dried properly. They should be left out in ample sunlight to ensure that there is no dampness. Repair any loose buttons, get rid of stains and make edits with anything else that might be wrong with the clothes.

Use organisation products

The best way to ensure that winter clothes do not take up much space in the closet is by using organisation products. Separate the clothes into different categories. You can segregate on the basis of the type of clothes, or the severity of temperature you use them for. Then pack them in different boxes or bags so that it is easier to remove for the next time. It is also advised to use the vacuum-sealed bag to make sure the outfits do not take up much space.

Mistakes to avoid 

These common mistakes that people make while storing warm clothes must be avoided.

  • Avoid storing clothes in damp places with moisture. It is best advised to keep the wollen clothes in dry, dark and in safe locations which are away from the risk of water damage.
  • Do not fold coats. Heavy outfits like overcoats and jackets develop creases that are hard to get back to normal.
  • Do not hang sweaters on hangers. Instead, fold the fabric to make sure that they do not lose shape.
