How to store clothes

The storage of seasonal clothes is a huge project, which makes people think, especially for friends who have too many clothes in the closet. Changing seasons several times a year is simply a painful torture.

The following incomplete clothing storage guidelines include classification, cleaning, sorting, storage, moisture and insect prevention. I hope I can help my friends in need.

First, the first step of scientific cleaning and storage of clothes

Clothes must be cleaned before storage.

Because the stains left on clothes for a long time will not only form permanent oxidation stains, but also cause different degrees of damage to fabric fibers.

Stained clothes are more likely to be damaged by insects when stored for a long time.

T-shirts, socks, silk clothes

Sweat on clothes can breed germs, so it is best to wash T-shirts and close-fitting sportswear every time.

The water temperature for washing socks should not exceed 40℃, otherwise the socks will shrink and harden.

Silk has poor light resistance, so don't expose it to the sun. It is best to dry in a cool and ventilated place.

pajamas

If pajamas are not washed for a long time, microorganisms and skin shedding tissues will accumulate in pajamas. It is best to wash it by hand with cold water and dry it in the shade.

Jeans

When washing, turn the jeans upside down and wash them in cold water, then hang them in the shade to dry.

Knitted sweater

Remember the formula of "warm, knead, squeeze, suck and spread" when cleaning, that is, clean with warm water at 29℃, gently knead for 2~5 minutes quickly, squeeze out the water after rinsing, dry it with a towel and spread it out to dry.

Second, store it correctly, and the clothes will be as clean as new after a long time.

The cabinet should be clean and ventilated, so as to ensure that the stored clothes are not easy to yellow and mildew. Generally speaking, the lower layer of the wardrobe is heavy in moisture and easy to grow mildew.

It is best to put washable cotton cloth on the lower floor, woolen products in the middle drawer, and silk, silk and other clothes that are most afraid of being wet on the upper floor.

Tidy it up in advance when you put it in, and it's easy to sort it out when you take it out and wear it:

Silk clothes: wear the upper layer

More delicate silk clothes should be placed on the upper floor so as not to be stressed. It's best to wrap clothes in tissue paper and add several layers of interlining up and down to reduce moisture.

Cotton and linen clothes: ironed and wrinkle-proof.

Cotton and linen clothes are easy to wrinkle because of material problems, which affects wearing. So iron and fold after washing.

T-shirt: roll up and store to save space.

T-shirts can be stored in rolls to make more space.

Fiber clothing: not afraid to put down the bottom layer

Synthetic fiber clothes are not afraid of heavy pressure, so you can rest assured to make the bottom.

Expensive clothes: hanging storage

Expensive clothes are not suitable for folding or being pressed by other clothes. It is best to hang them for storage, or you can use a dust cover to avoid dust and discoloration.

Wool products: most afraid of pressure

Wool is made in protein and is easily eroded. Even if you only wear it once, you should clean it with neutral detergent in time before putting it away.

Wool coats are best stored in dust-proof bags, and some mothballs are put in the pockets and at the bottom of the wardrobe.

The best way to store sweaters is to fold the sleeves on both sides inward with the back facing up, then roll them up from bottom to top and put them in a paper pocket.

Leather coat: An old shirt outside.

If the leather coat is not too dirty, you can wipe off the floating dust on the surface with a towel. You can use an eraser for fur and grinding skin, and you can't wash it with water or detergent at will.

If you put the leather coat in a sealed bag, it is likely to form mildew spots on the surface of the leather coat. Be sure to pay attention to the dryness and ventilation of the storage space.

The correct way is to evenly coat the leather coat with a layer of maintenance oil, and then hang it in a cool and ventilated place with an old cotton shirt over it.

Down jacket: pat soft and store.

Down jackets should be thoroughly washed and dried before collection, and hung in a cool place to dry, out of direct sunlight. Be sure to pat it loose before storage, and don't let the down become hard.

Mothballs must be stored, but do not come into direct contact with fabrics.

Wool quilt: airing in advance

Wool should be dried before being stored, but not directly exposed to the sun. It is best to air dry in the weak sunshine in the morning and afternoon, or in a ventilated and cool place to avoid fiber damage.

When storing, the mothballs should be wrapped in white paper or cloth and put together.

If you don't like the taste of moth balls, you can use a spoonful of pepper, dried tobacco or chrysanthemum petals instead.

Finally,

Different seasons should also "break up".

Pack some unnecessary clothes and find a reliable platform to donate.

How to judge whether it is necessary?

In the face of a dress, you can think about the following three questions:

1, I have worn a lot this year. Will I wear it again?

2. Although you don't wear much, do you wear it on specific occasions?

3. Although the frequency of use is not high, will you be reluctant to throw it after serious thinking?

If these problems still can't solve your problems, you can think about the other three problems in turn:

1. Have you worn this dress in the past two or three years?

Are you going to wear this dress in advance?

3. Are the clothes still in good condition? Can the dirt be washed off? If these answers are "no", then don't hesitate to give it to the Moby Dick old clothes recycling platform for donation.
