Sort out the things you want to keep while packing your winter clothes for storage

Before you start packing your clothes, you need to decide what are pieces of clothes you want to continue wearing. There is no point in keeping the pieces you no longer want to wear. What is more, you may find some clothes that are too old and worn out, so those can be thrown away. However, you can always donate some clothes that you do not like anymore. Afterward, when you start packing, and even before packing, you should wash all of your clothes. Even though your clothes are not dirty, you want to make sure they are all clean before putting them in a storage unit. In case you do not want to pack alone, many packing services NYC can be of great help. Do not hesitate to contact them.

Find the right bags, bins, or boxes for your clothes

You will have to decide how and where are you going to store your clothes. Maybe it would be wise to opt for some plastic bins since they are very durable and weatherproof. Choosing cardboard boxes, may not seem like a good idea, since bugs and pests can easily access your clothes that way. What is more, it is going to be much easier to properly pack bins instead of bags. But, one of the Manhattan moving companies can help you with that as well.

Think about the advantages and disadvantages of vacuum sealing

Winter clothes may take up a lot of space. And that is why many people decide to use vacuum bags for their clothes. In order to have more space. It is sometimes a good choice, it can be very practical. However, remember that there are some clothes that should not be vacuum-sealed such as wool clothes, leather clothes, and so on. They are not going to be able to “breath” in those bags which will further damage them. So, think twice before using vacuum bags and putting them in Manhattan storage.

Do not forget to store in a dark and dry place

Storing clothes in a place such as a storage unit is a great idea. You can choose a regular or climate-controlled storage unit. And if you pack them correctly you can be sure that your clothes will not be damaged. We hope our article will help you when packing your winter clothes for storage.
