Storing Winter Clothes In Attic

Can winter clothes be stored in a garage or attic.

Storing winter clothes in attic.

While it s tempting to toss every winter sweater and wool coat into a big plastic bin and shove it in the attic for the next six months taking the time to store your winter clothes the right way will pay off by helping your clothing last for longer. Place neatly folded shirts skirts and tights on top of the bulky bottom layer. Keeping your clothing in a temperature controlled environment probably means keeping them in your house. As a result they re havens for the very cloth gnawing bugs we re trying to avoid.

For clothes that need to be hung consider an open or enclosed rolling garment rack. Never store clothes in cardboard for long periods of time cardboard can damage delicate fabrics and it s a big draw for any pests that might be around. Utilize empty wall space. Place your non delicate items into plastic bins.

You want to store your winter clothing in a cool dry dark location. Under the bed in the back of the closet even behind the sofa are all better locations. Plastic containers are ideal for seasonal storage of your non delicate clothing. If you have a suitably temperate attic to store clothes in select your storage bins carefully.

Hang your clothes on the rack and store it on an empty wall. Avoid storing clothes in the attic garage or basement. Instead find a set of clear plastic bins to use instead.
