Wash and dry clothes before putting them away and do not iron

You may be tempted to put your clothes in a hamper or bag and put them away until you need them again. If you want to save time and hassle in the future, it is best to wash, dry and fold it before storing it. Plus, if you don't iron them first, they will be ready to use when you take them out of the store.

Choose the boxes or bags for storage well

Whether you want to store clothes, Christmas decorations or anything else, it is important that you choose the right boxes or bags. Not all storage containers are created equal, so it's important to do your research and find the best option for your needs. 

Use odor or moth-proof bags

Moth bags are an important tool for keeping your clothes and other belongings safe from pesky moths. But did you know that there are also anti-odor bags? These bags work the same as anti-moth bags, but they prevent bad odors from infiltrating your belongings. Whether you want to protect your clothes from moths or keep your home smelling fresh, anti-moth and anti-odor bags are a must.

Use tags and save by categories

How to store shoes and boots for a long time?

There is a lot of debate about how to store shoes and boots for a long time. Some say you should never store them together, while others say it's the best way to keep them in good condition. If you are storing shoes together, make sure they are separated by material type. For example, if you have two pairs of leather boots, put one pair in one bag and the other in another. This will prevent them from sticking and getting damaged.

How to store plugins for a long time?

There are many ways to store accessories, but it depends on what you are storing and how long. If you have many small pieces, such as earrings or necklaces, a jewelry box is best. They come in all shapes and sizes, and some even have special compartments for different types of jewelry. 

If you want to store something for a longer period of time, such as a winter coat or dishes, you will have to find another solution. One option is to use vacuum bags. You can find them at most stores that sell vacuum cleaners, and they work by removing all the air from the bag. This will help keep your item protected from dust and dirt. Another option is to use storage containers.

What is the best container for storing clothes for a long time?

Many people have clothes that they don't need and that take up valuable space in their home. What can you do with those clothes to free up space without getting rid of them? One option is to store them in containers designed specifically for long-term clothing storage. We leave you other options:

Boxes: cardboard, plastic and cabinet

We all know what boxes are. They are useful for many things: for packing your belongings when you move, for storing a bunch of Christmas decorations, or even as a makeshift table.

Vacuum storage

Vacuum storage bags can help you save a lot of space by allowing you to compress your belongings down to a fraction of their original size. Not only is this great for storing items in your home, but it's also perfect to take on vacation or to take care of any last-minute packing needs.

Bags

Bags can be a great way to store all your belongings. But with so many different options on the market, it can be difficult to know which bag is right for you. We recommend the bags from MY WANDER Store.
