Storing Out of Season Clothes

Wardrobe space can be limited, so you may wish to store out of season clothing elsewhere. Here's how to do it.

• Always store clothes in plastic boxes - wood, cardboard and paper can damage fabrics. However, do remember that natural fibres (such as silk) need to be able to breathe.
• Always wash and dry clothes thoroughly before storing. Place cedar balls, moth-repellent crystals or lavender sachets in between the layers.
• Never iron or starch anything you are storing for longer than a few weeks. Both can weaken the fibres and make them prone to tearing along the creases.
