5 Essential Tips for Storing Your Winter Clothes the Right Way

Hi everyone! 😄

Spring is just around the corner 🌸
After months of wearing thick coats and warm sweaters, it's finally time to pack them away.
But here’s a tip: don’t just toss your winter clothes into a closet! 😱
If you want to keep them fresh and ready for next season, proper storage is a must.

Today, we’ll share 5 smart tips on how to organize and store your winter wardrobe neatly—
with a little help from Boxful Self Storage 💙

1️⃣ Always Wash Before You Store

Winter clothes might look clean, but they’ve likely absorbed sweat, dust, and even road salt on snowy days.
If left unwashed, they can develop odors, mold, or even damage the fabric 😨

Here’s how to prep:

Puffer jackets: Dry clean or use a specialized down detergent
Knitwear: Hand wash or use the wool cycle
Wool, cashmere, coats: Always dry clean

➡️ Make sure everything is completely dry before storage to prevent moisture problems.

2️⃣ Moisture Control is Key: Use Desiccants

Since winter clothes are bulky and stored for long periods, humidity is your biggest enemy.
It can cause mold, discoloration, and unpleasant smells 🤢

What helps?

Use silica gel, charcoal, or moisture-absorbing packs
Place small packs between layers of clothing
Check and replace if storing for several months

You don’t need to worry about this when using Boxful Shared Storage, where temperature and humidity are professionally controlled! 😉

3️⃣ Don't Overpack—Leave Room to Breathe

Tightly packed boxes can crush delicate fabrics and damage the shape of padded jackets 😭
Instead:

Use roomy storage bags or boxes
Avoid stacking too high
Store vertically to prevent flattening

This simple trick can make a huge difference!

4️⃣ Store by Fabric Type

Different fabrics need different care. Group your items accordingly:

Wool/Cashmere: Fold and store flat. Avoid strong chemical deodorizers
Down jackets: Gently fold without compressing
Leather: Store in dry, well-ventilated space

Organizing by material also makes it easier to retrieve later 💡

5️⃣ Label Everything!

A small label on each box can save you hours of digging later 🥹
Mark boxes as “Puffers,” “Scarves,” “Knitwear,” etc.
It’s a small effort with big rewards.
