Fashion enthusiasts tend to collect quite a few clothing items and accessories that they never get to wear. These items are either unique or limited-edition, cost a fortune and do not represent a great alternative for daily wear, because of their intricate details, sophistication and delicate fabrics. Confronted with the classic to wear-or-not-to-wear dilemma, many people choose to rely on self storage in Winter Park to find a good home for some of their most valuable garments. If you find yourself in a similar situation, you may be asking yourself the following question: how should I store and organize the most spectacular pieces of my wardrobe to prevent any damages? Here are a few key steps that you should follow to reach your goal, even when you have to deposit delicate fabrics. Clean All Fabrics Thoroughly Before Leaving Them in Storage. Clean all of your clothes very thoroughly before leaving them in storage, because dealing with old stains can be a real nightmare. Follow the instructions listed on the labels to avoid mistakes. As a general rule, leather goods should be wiped with a clean cloth and polished before being stored, while silk and wool are the best candidates for dry cleaning services. Also, you should know that steam ironing some of your favorite outfits is always a good idea, especially because it helps you avoid iron marks. Opt for the Right Type of Covers. Next, usegarment racks to separate and color-coordinate yourclothes.Cover your most delicatepieces using fabric or plastic packaging products. Silk or cashmere knits and wool garments should be dry cleaned and kept in air tight, transparent plastic bags or containers. Moreover, fur and leather should be kept in dry environments and covered in soft, white muslin covers. Store Your Garments in the Right Position. How you store your clothes is just as important as where you store them. For example, jersey apparel should be stored flat, because they can easily lose their original shape while hanging on a garment rack. For the same reason, you should roll linen garments, to avoid creases that may be difficult to remove. Storing delicate fabrics doesn’t have to be a risky business. On the contrary, by renting a climate control unit you could employ the most effective damage control strategy.
