Rules for storing winter clothes in summer

With the change of season, it's time to move clothes in wardrobes and dressing rooms: winter things need to be put away for storage, and summer things need to be provided with convenient access. So that outerwear, warm sweaters and skinny clothes do not lose their appearance during storage, we recommend following several important rules.

If warm sweaters can simply be transferred to the upper shelves or folded in the depths of the cabinet, then storing winter clothes has its nuances. In any case, before sending warm things to «summer hibernation», you need to organize a global wash for them. Pockets must be checked beforehand, as small items, pieces of paper and even money may remain in jackets and jeans.

For washing, group things according to the type of fabric and requirements on the label (washing temperature, mode, spinning, etc.). For example, this is how you can act with winter and autumn jackets, if the manufacturer does not give other recommendations.

Sheepskin coats, coats, natural fur coats, leather and suede jackets should not be washed at home. However, before storage, they can be shaken well, and then the suede and coat fabric can be cleaned of lint and dust, and the smooth skin can be wiped with a damp napkin. Faux fur clothes can be washed in warm water with your hands and then lightly combed «in the direction of the pile.

It is worth considering that you may need some things at any time of the year. For example, if you decide to order a hoodie for the winter or for the off-season, you should not hide it far away, because such clothes can be useful on cool summer evenings. And if you need a warm jacket and jacket in one bottle, you can buy a hoodie at aviatsiyahalychyny.com by choosing a fleece or three-thread model with a comfortable zipper.

It is better to store outerwear on «shoulders» without folding, placing them at a distance of a centimeter from each other. Ideally, you need to wear a cover made of natural material for each item (such covers are sold in stores or can be sewn, for example, from a sheet). Do not use polyethylene covers, as they do not allow air to pass through, which causes an unpleasant smell. First of all, stir the fur products that are strongly wrinkled when folded.

If it is not possible to hang all the outerwear in the closet, you have to fold it on the shelves, put drawers and other similar places in the sofa. In such cases, it is important to put each item in a bag or place it in a cloth container. Wicker baskets of the appropriate size are also suitable for storage. To get rid of excess humidity, transfer things with silica gel bags.

In many stores, you can buy small aromatic sachets or bags with herbs and spread them out into your clothing pockets. If you want to buy skinny or other outerwear, you should take care of proper storage and aromatization of things. Essential oils — of citrus, lavender, cedar tree, tea tree and others can serve as an alternative. Apply a few drops to a piece of cotton wool or a textile pad and place on a shelf or in a basket of clothes.
