Proud
of your wardrobe and the collection on which you have spent a
fortune! Each one of us is proud of his/her material possessions
because they lend us the power to flaunt our spending power and
to enhance our beauty & outward appeal. But are all of us equally
proud of the way we store our valuable clothes or how we pack
them during the seasons when they are no longer in use Do you
dump your expensive clothes carelessly in bags and storage places
only to find them in an even shabbier condition when you take
them out to be used Worse, you may find holes in them caused by
the bugs or even find them in a faded condition because of excess
heat or humidity. Your clothes don?t deserve to be treated in
such a callous manner for the simple fact that they add so much
to your personality. And an investment that reaps such prime benefits
should be valued by the possessor.
Our
clothes need special care and protection for a number of reasons.
Clothes have to protected mainly against elements such as insects,
heat, humidity that are the prime enemies of all kinds of fabrics,
but mainly of woolens and delicate fabrics such as satin, silk,
velvet and others. Even though you may be able to well afford
a wardrobe full of expensive designer clothes, preserving your
clothes in a proper manner is a necessity. If a number of clothes
are no longer in use or don?t fit you, they can be put to a
good use but only if they are in proper condition. A lot of
charity donation organizations are always looking for generous
donors who can donate formal clothes for the impoverished lot
who often lose out on job opportunities because they do not
have proper clothes to wear to the interview. Hence, proper
storage of your clothes goes a long way in ensuring that not
only do they remain in the best condition possible for as long
as they are used by you, but also can be put to use for a more
meaningful cause when you have outgrown them.
Since
most of us wish to preserve our clothes and protect them from
damage, an appropriate storage space and a few precautions can
ensure longevity for our cherished clothing. Probably the most
dreaded enemies of your expensive clothes are the clothes moths
that attack the clothing which is not packed in protective bags.
The most common method of protecting your clothes is to place
them in airtight bags and to place insect repellant inside these
bags. Be sure to check the clothes properly before placing them
in these bags. The clothes should be thoroughly clean and free
from pests. Insect repellants such as moth balls containing
naphthalene are commonly used for this purpose and are very
effective insect repellants. However, they should be kept out
of the reach of children as they are poisonous. They have the
added drawback of leaving an unpleasant odor on the clothes
they are meant to protect. Also, they are ineffective or weak
if placed in a container which is not totally airtight.
The
markets and the online stores cater to all your needs for clothing
storage. There are various means by which you can store your
clothes and protect them from pests, humidity and other harmful
factors. Numerous varieties of closets, storage boxes and bags
are available in the market and at online stores. So, you can
choose the appropriate storage bag to preserve your cherished
clothing. These storage bags are available in a range of materials
and styles. One can choose the material that is best suited
for the storage of the clothes you would want to pack in the
bag. For instance, you would need a different bag for storing
warm clothing like pullovers and jackets from the bag that you
would need to store satin or silk dresses. These enclosed bags
are especially effective for the use of a natural repellant
that can be put inside the bag along with the clothes. The closed
space makes the repellant more effective thus ensuring that
your clothes stay protected.
One
should explore all the storage options available in the market
since the markets are flooded by innovative
storage options in every season. One of the options for storage
are the remarkable vacuum seal storage bags that reduce the
volume of the clothes that you have to store by about three
fourth of the original volume. They also protect your clothes
against pests such as moths and bugs and also save them from
being faded because of heat or humidity. If you wish to store
your clothes in this wonderful storage option, all that you
have to do is to attach a vacuum hose to the valve that is a
part of the space bag. Turn on the vacuum and your clothes will
be safe for as long as you wish to store them for. Another interesting
storage option that has recently entered the market is the compression
bag. This bag works on the same principle as the vacuum bags,
in that it shrinks the volume of the clothes so that you can
store three times the number of clothes that you would, otherwise,
have been able to store in the same space.
These
bags are known by various names; compression bags, stack n-vac,
packmate (it does not require a vacuum but works on a similar
principle) and various others. These bags are usually clear
bags and are closed with a zipper. One can view what is stored
inside and this makes it easier to unpack them. So, one can
unpack the bags one requires. These bags are accompanied by
a warranty of repair or replacement for five years or more and
are ideal for traveling, seasonal packing and whenever one needs
to store large volumes of
clothing
storage bags.
