10 Top Tips For Storing Clothes

  1. Cleanliness: Dry clean and wash, EVERYTHING before it gets packed away
  2. Storage: Pack clothes away in a breathable container packed in acid free tissue or an old pillowcase or wrapped in a sheet. Don't leave in plastic or exposed to sunlight.
  3. Anti-Moth: Refresh your out of date anti moth products, throw them away if they have been in the wardrobe more than a year, re-fill lavender bags. Try the pheromone moth trap, which catches the boys and stops the mating game!
  4. Turnout: Be ruthless, when was the last time you wore it, swop with friends or sell on eBay, remember 2 new things in = 2 old things out.
  5. Spring clean the wardrobe and drawers for the new seasons clothes, take everything out, wash dust and vacuum, try the clearing and cleansing spray to clear out the vibes available from www.make-ripples.com, light candles and throw the windows open!
  6. Hangers: Get the right hangers for the right job, all the same hangers make your wardrobe look like a boutique and if the garments are all level they are a lot easier to see, try the rubber covered non slip hanger!
  7. Shoes and boots: Polish and clean shoes and boots, take to the menders then put in the boot trees and shoe trees and shoe puffs, to keep their shape.
  8. Fur: Put your furs in cotton garment bags and take them to a furrier for cold storage, this discourages bugs and prolongs the life of the fur. (If its been dead for more than 20 years take it to the furrier for re oiling and conditioning).
  9. Vintage Repairs and maintenance: If any buttons have fallen off, zips broken , hems fallen down, or clothes have grown too big or too small take them to be altered and repaired. Don't leave anything in the wardrobe that needs something doing to it, chances are it will not be worn.
  10. Style: Get your best friend in or employ the services of a stylist to up date your existing wardrobe, a fresh eye will put different items together for a fresh look.
