Rule 1. Clean Clothes Before Storing
One of the most important rules for clothes storage is to make sure you clean your clothes properly before storing them, by either washing or dry cleaning them.
They might not look dirty, visually, but with time any dirt, sweat or soil on the clothing will cause set in stains, and these dirty areas are often the cause of the yellow looking stains you find when you get out stored clothes (especially prevalent with baby clothes).
In addition, dirty clothes are more likely to attract pests, which is another good reason to make sure they're cleaned before storing them.
If you dry clean your clothes before storage make sure to take the time to take off the plastic bags from the garments when you get them back. Leaving the bags on traps moisture inside, which can cause your clothes to smell musty with time.
Similarly, all clothes need to be completely dry before they're stored, not even still slightly damp from their recent wash, because again, the moisture will cause mildew and mold growth. (You can use my mildew stain removal guide if you do encounter this problem.)
Rule 2. Choose A Good Storage Location
There are many good places in your home for you to store clothes. The best locations are those which are cool, dry, and well ventilated.
We've already discussed how excess moisture can cause clothes to get musty or even mildewed, and excess heat can damage clothing fibers or embellishments (especially elastics) and also set in stains. You also want to avoid storage locations in direct sunlight because the sun can actually fade clothes (think about drapes that begin to bleach after a long time in the sun).
Because of extreme heat the attic may not be an ideal storage location for clothes, and if your basement is prone to flooding or excessive moisture then you most likely don't want to store your clothes there, either.
Most climate-controlled areas of your home will do. A favorite place for those who don't have much other space is under the bed (although make sure you use the right containers to hold the clothes, which I'll discuss below).
Rule 3. Choose Good Hangers For Hanging Clothing Storage
For those clothes you decide to store hanging up, make sure you use good sturdy wide hangers, not flimsy wire ones. This will help your clothes retain their proper shape and not get stretched out.
