Use Space Saver Bags to Store Winter Clothes


Making the most of small storage spaces is an essential part of keeping a neat and tidy home. Storage solutions such as vacuum-seal space saver bags are a great way to store bulky items, like winter clothing, in a small amount of space. Use them properly to make the most of these convenient products. Does this Spark an idea?


Instructions


Prepare Your Clothes for Storage


1. Inventory your closet to find those items that are best suited for storage in a space saver bag. These include sweaters, hats, scarves, trousers, mittens, gloves and bulky winter coats.


2. Make sure that your winter clothes are clean and dry before storing them in a space saver bag. Any dirt or moisture may create stains on your clothes while they are in storage.


3. Remove any jewelry or sharp metal items from your clothing before storing them in space saver bags. Not only will this prevent possible rust stains, but you can also avoid tearing a hole in your space saver bag while packing your clothes away.


4. Divide your clothes into categories by size and number to help determine which space saver bags are right for your winter wardrobe. Since they come in large, medium and small sizes, you can make the most of them by grouping large numbers similar items together in the larger sizes and reserving the small bags for one-off items.


Pack up Your Winter Clothes


5. Fold sweaters neatly and stack them in your space saver bag. The large bags may accommodate up to two stacks of lightweight sweaters.


6. Use a hanging garment space saver bag to store winter clothing items such as coats and jackets. Depending on the bulk of your clothing, you may be able to store up to 10 items in each garment bag.


7. Use the nozzle attachment on your vacuum cleaner to remove excess air from each space saver bag. Once the air is removed, you bag should be relatively flat and easy to store.


8. Attach a list of what is inside the space saver bag to the outside to make it easier to identify where to find specific items when winter arrives.


9. Store space saver bags with your winter clothes under your bed or on shelves in the closet.
