Using the Wrong Hangers

Not all hangers are created equal. A hanger that’s the wrong size, shape, or material can actually harm your clothes. In most cases, the best way to store clothes is on high-quality hangers, so do yourself a favor and invest in some that are suited to your specific wardrobe. Choose a variety of sizes; hangers that are too small encourage wrinkles, and hangers that are too big create those dreaded shoulder bubbles.

Keep delicate items on lightweight, non-slip felt hangers, outerwear on sturdy wood hangers, and suits on actual suit hangers. And while you’re at it, skip metal hangers altogether. They’re too flimsy to do most clothes justice and too slippery for many fabrics. Worst of all, they tend to distort the shape of your clothes.

Hanging Sweaters and Other Knitwear

As tempting as it may be, avoid hanging heavy knits at all costs. More likely than not, your wool or cashmere sweater—or even your jersey-knit top—will become misshapen. The risk increases the longer it stays on a hanger.

If you’re short on drawer space, don’t risk ruining your sartorial investments: instead, consider folding and storing your extra sweaters in inexpensive cotton-canvas hanging closet organizers made specifically for sweaters. But if you still insist on hanging your sweaters, try your hand at this shape-preserving hack.

Folding Your Pants In Half, Then Hanging Them

Professional dry cleaners and tailors have a special trick for folding dress pants along their pleat and carefully hanging them with one leg overlapped onto the other. If you’re looking for a quicker, more foolproof everyday method, invest in hangers with felt-lined clips, then hang your pants vertically by the waist or the hem. If you don’t want to buy new hangers, try this bubble wrap hanger hack! It will also help prevent unsightly creases and save you time when you’re preparing for a fancy occasion.

Folding Your Bras

Bras are easy to destroy. All you have to do is put them through the spin cycle one too many times and they’re stretched out for good. Help your delicate bras keep their shape and elasticity as long as possible by taking your cue from lingerie shops: store your bras flat—not folded in half—in a shallow drawer to preserve their shape, and don’t store anything on top of them.

While apartments and other small spaces often come with limited storage, it’s better to dedicate some space to these expensive foundational garments. Bras cost way too much to justify not caring for them correctly.

Stacking Your Shirts In Drawers Instead of Filing Them

When organizing expert Marie Kondo released her bestselling book “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up,” readers were shocked to realize they’d been folding their shirts the wrong way their whole lives.

According to Kondo’s Konmari method, clothes should be folded and stored vertically in rows, like files in a filing cabinet, rather than stacked one on top of the other. This method not only lets you see all the contents of the drawer at once, but it saves space and prevents wrinkles, too. Kondo’s fans swear that this is the best way to store shirts. It’s a great solution for apartments or other small spaces where storage is scarce.

Over-Stuffing Your Drawers

Cramming clothes into your dresser rather than neatly folding everything creates more than just an eyesore. It’s so difficult to find things that you’ll frantically plumb the depths of your drawers whenever you’re getting dressed. Balling up your clothes can also weaken fabrics and drive your clothes into the donation pile that much faster. Even worse? This seemingly harmless habit can destroy your dresser before its time, too.

Ignoring the 80/20 Rule

According to the 80/20 rule, the average person only wears 20 percent of their clothes 80 percent of the time. So you should have the easiest access to the clothes you wear most often. The best way to store these clothes is right up front and right on top.

Chances are you actually never wear most of the remaining 80 percent of your wardrobe.  Fortunately, there’s an easy way to check. To find out how much you do wear, professional organizers recommend turning all of your hangers backward at the beginning of the season.

Don’t turn the hanger forward until you’ve worn, laundered, and returned the item. At the end of the season (or year), take the clothes off whichever hangers are still backward and donate them. This way you can free up space for new things you actually love.

Storing Out-of-Season Garments Without Cleaning Them First

Jackets and coats take a beating. By the end of the season, they’ve absorbed grime, smoke, the elements—basically, everything you come in contact with, plus dirt and sweat from your own body. Stuffing soiled outerwear in the back of your closet or under your bed is more than just unsanitary—it allows stains to set in and can even weaken and fade fabrics. So plan for a laundry day and check the care tag to see whether you need to machine wash, hand wash, or dry clean your garment, then zip all zippers to prevent snags before going for the deep clean.

Storing Your Fresh Dry Cleaning In That Plastic-Wire Hanger Combo

It’s tempting to pick up that cocktail dress or suit from the dry cleaner and stick it in the closet as is, only to revisit it the next time you have a formal event. But your garments are not meant to live inside a suffocating plastic prison, where the fabric can weaken and even discolor from chemicals off-gassed by the plastic. Over time, the moisture trapped inside the plastic can even encourage mildew. And don’t even get us started on the wire hangers (see above).

Forgetting To Purge Before You Store

If you’re switching out clothes for the changing season, take this opportunity to purge your heart out. You may even relieve stress in the process. Hanging on to too many clothes is one of the most common clothing storage mistakes there is. If it seems too daunting, make it a family affair, with prize incentives for most items donated. All of these organizations offer pickup for items you don’t want.

How to properly store your clothes

Transform your closet and get organized - check out our tips below!

By Rinse Team In Care

Whether your closet looks like you were just visited by Marie Kondo or a Dothraki Horde, we could all do with a couple organization tips to keep our closet manageable and our clothes in optimal condition.

It’s okay, these organization tips will still be helpful long after the references above ;)

So read on! It’s time to clean up your closet and create a polished and personalized space that you can enjoy each time you get dressed.
 

Keep your daily essentials in the front row

You've heard the phrase "out of sight, out of mind"—while that usually applies to former flames, the same rule also works for closet organization.

Store your least-worn items at the back so you can dedicate prime closet real estate to your most beloved pieces. This will make getting dressed a lot more convenient, and you'll avoid the all-too-familiar situation of rummaging through the closet and ending up with a pile of discarded clothes on the floor or bed. 

Style tip: Organize your go-to accessories, like a classic watch or simple jewelry, on a small tray next to your closet. Having them visible will encourage you to wear them and give you a more complete and polished look.


Think like a pro: know when to fold 'em


It might seem basic, but improper storage can cause a garment to lose its shape. Make sure you properly note which items to fold and which items to hang.

Clothes you should fold: Gently fold delicate items such as cashmere sweaters and heavy knits. For extra care you can add a layer of acid-free tissue between garments.
Denim should also be folded, as hanging can cause it to stretch out in the wrong areas. Casual items such as T-shirts and tops can work both ways, based on personal preference.

Clothes you should hang: Keep your outerwear fresh by hanging them for storage. Your vintage leather jacket, silk blouse or suit would appreciate the extra TLC.
Invest in some flocked hangers with velvet lining to keep your choice garments in mint condition. As always, any cocktail attire is best stored in a garment bag.


Out of season items don’t need prime real estate

Before putting anything in the closet at the end of each season, make sure your clothes are prepped for storage.

Launder items as needed, or send your clothes to a trusted dry cleaner for professional service—especially important for winter coats. This removes any scents or stains, as moths are attracted to undetectable smells.

Don't forget to clean your closet at least once per season (it can get dusty). It's also a good idea to go through and remove any items you don't wear on a regular basis. Consider selling or donating the pieces that are in good condition—doing so will help keep your closet organized as well as help those in need.


The elements of style: invest in the right storage


The essentials: Storage bins are your best friend. Instead of unsightly plastic bins, consider linen storage organizers. Fabric organizers help your clothing stay fresh by allowing air to circulate. Try borrowing elements from Scandinavian decor, such as a set of wooden or copper hangers, to help your closet achieve a minimalist and uniformed aesthetic.

The extras: Personalizing your space does not always require an involved process. Switching out little things can make a huge difference, such as adding some decorative items or art in or around your wardrobe. You can also paint or wallpaper the inside of your closet to inject a little more color and personal style.

Fill some sachets with dried lavender buds and place them in your closet to keep your clothes smelling great and repel any moths that might be creeping around your wardrobe—it's a pleasantly scented alternative to using moth balls.

Cedar chests are also a smart choice for woolens, as Red Cedar has natural oils that kill moth larvae (it's a good idea to first put the clothing in a resealable plastic bag for more protection).

While closet maintenance might seem like a chore, keeping these tips in mind will help you streamline the process and stay organized. Just like a morning workout or healthy breakfast, a well organized closet and easy to access closet helps set the right tone for the day -- the great one that you deserve!

15 important tips for storing clothes and accessories

wardrobe storage rules storage ideas goods for storage dressing room

Have you been dreaming for a long time to create your own system of organizing things, so that everything is kept in good condition, does not deteriorate, does not wrinkle, and is always at hand? The concept of ideal order is purely individual. Each housewife has her own preferences, little secrets and chips in the arrangement of wardrobe items - you probably heard more than once: “I feel so comfortable.” But there are some universal rules that make up a competent basis of any storage system.

We bring to your attention 15 important tips for organizing your wardrobe , following which you can be calm for the safety and excellent appearance of your outfits.

1. Never store fur or leather items in airtight packaging.


Today, vacuum bags are becoming increasingly popular - an innovative technology based on the properties of airless space. For natural leather and fur, this method of storage is unacceptable, since without air access the product will “suffocate” , it will acquire an unpleasant odor, the front parts will stick together, the fur villi will get creases and damage.

Due to the natural protein collagen, leather and fur clothing has elasticity, softness, hygroscopicity, breathability. But it is also more demanding on the components of care - it needs air circulation, cool temperature, natural moisture. This is where the second rule comes in:

2. Fur coats and sheepskin coats are best stored in a voluminous cover made of breathable material.

There are a few things to keep in mind when choosing a fur coat. It can be made from woven and non-woven material. Woven material is environmentally friendly, breathable, pleasant to the touch, but has a serious drawback - due to its structure, it can pass moisture, dust and odors. Non-woven material also breathes, but it does not allow dust, moisture, odors and insects to pass through. Although it is a polymer (synthetic) material, it is made from high-quality and absolutely safe raw materials. Indicative in this respect is the fact that spunbond is actively used in medical and aesthetic institutions. For all these reasons, for the purposes of long-term storage of clothing and footwear, non-woven materials are more suitable than woven ones. When determining the length, leave a small margin (up to 10 cm). In this case, the hem of the fur coat will not turn up and will not deform. The side insert (for furs of at least 6 cm) will provide the necessary volume - a guarantee that the villi will not be crushed, and the air between them will circulate freely. (See the "Tips and Ideas" section for a detailed article on how to choose a fur coat storage case)

3. Store your jeans folded and not on a hanger.

Before storage, the product must be washed, even if at first glance it seems clean. Small dirt, sweat residue, invisible on denim, can present an unpleasant surprise - a musty smell, a tightly ingrained stain. Clean jeans should be carefully folded at the seams, smoothing out wrinkles and creases. It is better to put no more than 3-4 pairs in a pile so that the fabric and voluminous decorative elements do not unnecessarily compress. Trousers made of thick, heavy denim can be rolled into a tight bundle. With this approach, the jeans will not wrinkle, you will not have to iron them before going out.

4. Protect natural woolen and fur items from insects with the help of special repellents.

The main enemy of natural wool fiber and fur is moth. The larvae of this pest, namely, they “shear” fur, make holes in clothes, and in 90 days of their life are capable of hopelessly ruining any thing. To prevent this from happening, always use repellents - cloves, geranium leaves, plates or cedar cubes. An excellent repellent is an aroma sachet with the smell of lavender, jasmine, sandalwood. Stylish pouches and pillows can be put in pockets, the hood of a fur coat, on a shelf with cashmere sweaters, hung on the hanger bar in a case or on the closet door.

5. Outerwear and men's suits should be stored on a hanger with extended shoulders to avoid deformation.

The main task is to prevent the product from sagging under its own weight, to lose clear cut lines. Therefore, choose hangers for suits and outerwear that are durable, made of polished or varnished wood, with a securely fastened hook, anatomically shaped, following the line of the shoulder. The expanded wing will allow you to securely fix the product in a natural state for wearing.

6. Do not fully evacuate the vacuum bag when packing down products.

First of all, this applies to jackets and coats with natural filler. Before packing, clean the down jacket and dry well. We put it in a vacuum bag in a straightened or neatly folded inside out form. Pump out the air by about 50%. You can store clothes both hanging and folded. 10 days before wearing, remove the down jacket from the bag, hang it on the balcony, so that under the action of fresh air and breeze, the down and feather straighten out and fill with volume.

7. Choose clothes hangers according to the size of the clothes.

Make it simple. Attaching to yourself, choose a coat hanger that matches the width of your shoulders or a little less. You can use the size chart. Storing clothes on too large hangers is fraught with deformation of the sleeve - it will bulge ugly, it can disperse along the seam, stretch marks form on the fabric. Small hangers will lead to creases in sagging toilets, constant slipping to the floor, loss of shape. We also published a detailed article on how to choose the size of hangers.

8. Wash, clean and dry clothes before storing.

This rule should become an axiom for you. What are the consequences of keeping things stale? The particles of skin, fat, sweat remaining on them will begin to decompose over time, emitting an unpleasant odor. Yellow spots may appear on white clothes. In a few months, the dirt will so eat into the fabric that it will be very difficult to wash it off, and the remains of organic origin will be almost impossible to remove. Dry clothes are a fertile environment for the development of mold, fungi and other troubles.

9. Jerseys are best stored rolled up on a shelf or on special hangers with a flocked edge.

The main property of knitwear is the tendency to stretch. Therefore, so that sweaters and blouses do not lose their shape, they must be carefully folded at the seams and placed on a shelf. Put no more than 3 things in a pile according to size - dense and heavy on the bottom, light and fluffy on top . Thin blouses and sweatshirts can be laid out in a chest of drawers, rolled up and placed “on edge”. Dresses and suits that are less prone to stretching are best stored on hangers with a flocked edge. The velvety textile flock coating will protect knitwear from puffing and slipping.

10. For bulky items - blankets, blankets, pillows - , purchase soft cases.

This storage method has several advantages. The volumetric box with fabric walls passes air well, a reliable zipper prevents the penetration of dust and moisture. The soft cover is convenient not only for bedding, but also for home textiles, tracksuits, knitwear, and also for storing blankets. Through the transparent insert, it is easy to see what is inside. Stylish and roomy wardrobe trunk saves space in the closet, it is convenient to use it on shelves, in furniture niches.

11. Put things on the mezzanine into hard trunks and boxes.

Here, as a rule, things are stored for seasonal storage or things that are rarely used. Trunks with a rigid base, boxes, shoe boxes can be selected in different sizes, depending on the purpose and dimensions of the furniture. Things in them will be protected from dust, extraneous odors, thanks to breathable walls or special openings “will not suffocate”. An important advantage is the order and organization of space in a single style.

12. Place silk blouses and light dresses on hangers with non-slip coating or covered with fabric.

There are several arguments in favor of choosing a fabric hanger. Small items made of delicate fabrics - silk, cambric, linen - will not slip off the shoulders every now and then. A flocked or satin finish will reliably protect the material from damage, puffs. The soft surface of the hanger will prevent the formation of wrinkles and stretching of clothes in the area of ​​the sleeves.

13. Store underwear in special organizers - this is a guarantee of order and significant space savings.

In order not to damage the delicate material, it is better to purchase not plastic boxes, but soft laundry organizers with dense walls made of non-woven breathable material, with many cells, a lid or open ones. Organizer bag keeps all the linen in sight, which makes it easy to choose the right set. Metal parts are undesirable in the design - you can accidentally tear silk, guipure, lycra about them, pull the arrow on the stocking.

14. Place belts and ties in one place - on a hanger, in an organizer.

This way of storage makes it easy to choose the necessary accessories, saves space. Special accessory hangers have multiple holes or anti-slip wings. Ties, scarves on them do not wrinkle, do not fall, do not get confused, always at hand. It is convenient to store belts, having rolled up a ring, in organizers for linen and trifles.

15. To save space, use the tiered hangers for shirts and blouses.

This is a godsend for hostesses who are unable to afford a huge closet or a separate dressing room. If you hang several shirts on one coat hanger, they will invariably wrinkle, the sleeves of the upper one, due to the volume of the lower ones, will stretch in the shoulder area. A tiered shirt hanger solves this problem. By arranging shirts and blouses one under the other, you do not have to iron them again before going out.

Organizing the space with the help of our tips, you will quickly be convinced of their practicality, expediency, ergonomics. After all, they are based on a careful attitude to things and a desire to fill your life with comfort.

Clothes storage system in the house - how to organize everything correctly

As Mark Twain said, “Clothes make a man. Naked people have very little influence in society, if not none at all.” You can’t argue with this - they are greeted by clothes, we find “ours” by clothes, we express ourselves with clothes and, of course, clothes protect us in any weather.

For summer, autumn, spring, winter, hiking, vacation, holidays, jogging, dates - every person has plenty of reasons to change their outfit. Well, unless you're Mark Zuckerberg, of course. However, a regular wardrobe often cannot accommodate the amount of clothes that is accumulated in a couple of years. Sooner or later you have to audit.

Nevertheless, in order for the choice of a costume or the search for a basic set not to turn into a half-hour quest around the apartment, clothes must be properly stored. Even the coolest outfits may never see the light of day, simply because you didn't notice them on your shelves. Clutter is the No. 1 enemy of any dressing room, it should be feared even more than shopaholism, and together it is a killer cocktail.

Keep calm: in this article we will tell you how to properly store clothes, care for them, audit them and make choosing an outfit silky easy!

Out of sight, out of mind!

First of all, it is necessary to revise the wardrobe. But how do you know what to keep, what to give, what to give, what to sell, and what to deposit? We act boldly and decisively. To organize a new clothing storage system, it is necessary to demolish the old one. Pull all clothes out of all closets on the floor of the room. Done? Now go to the pantry, onto the balcony, climb onto the mezzanine and don't forget about the dryer - you need to find absolutely all the clothes in the house.

What to do next? Divide all clothes into 4 groups:

1. Broken, too much soiled, torn and worn out clothes that cannot be repaired and washed - all this should be thrown into the trash.

2. Clothes in good condition, but which either do not fit you, or you no longer like (remember that clothes should bring pleasure), or you have already bought a more fashionable and new item of the same style to replace. Items in this group can be donated to a thrift store, given to friends or family, or sold online.

3. Seasonal clothing - separately for summer clothes and separately for all winter clothes. Everything that is irrelevant for the current season should be put in storage, but in no case should you clog the shelves of closets with temporarily extra clothes - they will come in handy for you under something else!

4. The fourth group is all other items of clothing. Test yourself with a simple list of questions:

If you answered yes to all questions, then these clothes should be entered into the new storage system.

An important step is sorting

From the remaining heap of all the most beloved, relevant, fashionable and clean, you need to create a clear hierarchy.

1. Sort by type. First, we put aside outerwear separately, then all underwear, then trousers, jeans and trousers, then top combinations, etc.
2. Sort by season. We create spring-summer, pure summer, autumn, autumn-winter and spring sets.

3. Next, sort by purpose. We divide clothes into casual, work, smart, sports, etc.

Everything on the shelves

then in the dressing room or other room in the apartment where you can store clothes. We store something in closed storage systems, and something in open ones.

Open storage system suitable for everyday items. Thus, dust does not have time to settle on them. Open storage of clothes is convenient when you often change outfits and like to experiment with combinations: on an open, for example, hanging hanger, you can immediately see what colors and materials you have in your wardrobe, what can be combined with what.

Clothing storage options

1. Closets are the most convenient everyday way to store clothes.

2. Chests of drawers are the oldest furniture for storing clothes. They are convenient for vertical storage according to the Marie Kondo method.

3. Floor hangers. They allow you to store your wardrobe so that you can visually see things at any time and choose an outfit.

4. Hooks/hangers on the wall. On them you can hang not only jackets or sweaters, but also trousers (by the strap). Hooks will help organize the storage of clothes in the hallway.

5. Shelves. Storage of clothes on the shelves will be more ergonomic if you use dividers.

6. Boxes and boxes. Boxes help protect clothes from dust. Store small items, such as underwear, in boxes. And drawers allow you to store clothes in a closed way even in a small apartment, especially if storage without a closet is important to you.

7. Suitcases. They are very cool and stylish to use for storing clothes in the bedroom, placing them at the foot of the bed.

8. Cases are special hard packs. Trunks are suitable for hats, very fragile fabrics and embellished outfits.

9. Organizers for storing clothes allow for compact storage of clothes. They can be hung on a wall or cabinet door. The organizer will allow you to sort socks, accessories and underwear.

10. Bags/cases. They are useful for storing things that you don't wear very often. And in vacuum bags, clothes take up several times less space. Cases are convenient to use for storing outerwear.

How to fold clothes

How clothes are stored depends a lot on how the clothes are folded. After all, if it does not hang, then it must be folded correctly. Shirts should be folded, focusing on the sleeves, trousers are usually easily folded first in half, and then in half again. To see how to store clothes vertically, or how to fold clothes the Marie Kondo method, check out this tutorial video. Try it right now and you will see that storing clothes at home can be easy and very convenient.

Useful tips and tricks for storing clothes

1. Do not store fur and leather products in airtight packaging. Natural materials must breathe and ventilate. But just observe the temperature regime: exclude storage on the balcony in winter at -20 degrees or on the summer loggia, with a greenhouse temperature of +25 and scorching sun, otherwise “Goodbye, color!”

2. Fur coats and sheepskin coats are best stored in a voluminous cover made of breathable material. The system for storing outerwear is different from storing ordinary sweatshirts, sweaters and knitwear in general. The cover allows clothes not to gather dust, and the volume is necessary so that the air inside circulates freely and ventilates the fabrics.

3. Jeans are best stored folded and not on a hanger - this way they will be stored without classic kinks and will not stretch under their own weight.

4. Woolen and fur items should be carefully protected from insects using special repellents. As a remedy for moths, sachets with lavender flowers are perfect - this is not only a protection against pests, but also a great scent for your things.

5. Outerwear and men's suits should be stored on hangers with extended shoulders to avoid deformation. That is why storing clothes in the dressing room is most convenient - in a separate room it is possible to place as many roof rails as you need.

6. Hangers must be selected according to the size of the garment. If you choose too large hangers, then there is a risk of stretching the clothes in the shoulders so that it does not return to its original shape. If you take too small hangers, then the clothes, firstly, will not hold well on the hanger, and secondly, unpleasant bumps will appear in the shoulders, which will no longer be corrected on a knitted or woolen product.

7. If you use clothes storage services, then only clean and dry clothes should be sent there for storage. The dirt that remains on the fabrics can, over time, eat in so much that it will no longer be washed off. As well as stains, crumbs and dirt make the fabric less wear-resistant and durable.

8. Silk blouses and light dresses are best placed on hangers with anti-slip coating or covered with fabric, such as satin. Thus, the silk will remain as soft, voluminous and without fraying. An important condition for storing airy light dresses made of natural and synthetic materials is the preservation of the volume of the fabric in the shoulders, which is exactly what soft hangers will provide.

9. It is best to store underwear in special organizers. Use modern clothing storage accessories that are easy to find on the Internet - containers, dividers, organizers, trunks, boxes, baskets.

10. Bulky things - blankets, blankets, pillows - are best stored in soft trunks, which are pliable and can partially take the form of a folded textile object.

A secret that will make cleaning and storing home clothes easier

Remember the well-known wisdom that it is clean not where they clean, but where they do not litter. Take this principle into service: do not buy clothes that you do not need, do not store excess. And be sure to repeat the revision and sorting of clothes every six months or at least once a year. A fresh look at the wardrobe, the change of seasons and fashion trends will help you understand what is too stale in your closet. And things that are no longer needed can always be attached to charity shops, where they will find new owners and delight them.

When an attic can be useful

We are only for the conscious organization of home space. Whether it's a balcony, a hallway or a wardrobe - order and cleanliness should be everywhere. What clutters the space around us the most? Things that we temporarily do not need are irrelevant clothes, namely, seasonal things.
In summer, there is no need to store huge winter down jackets and fur coats, especially since storage places often do not meet the necessary requirements. If you send clothes to the balcony, then under the sun's rays and high temperatures, the fabrics and materials will fade and become less durable. In addition, how much free space will appear in the closet if you hand over not only winter clothes, but also winter shoes!

What then in winter? You can return a box with all summer clothes, clothes, accessories and shoes to a warm warehouse. In the Attic, things will be kept warm and dry and will be fresh and clean by the new summer season, while at home, out-of-season clothes simply gather dust for half a year.

Benefits of the Attic

The attic is a modern warm warehouse that, among other things, stores clothes. It can store clothes from various fabrics and materials. Its undeniable advantages:

Warehouse storage of clothes in Moscow has become simple and convenient — the Attic movers themselves come home, pack everything in special wardrobe boxes and take it to a warm warehouse. All you need to do is simply empty your closets of temporarily unnecessary things and get ready for an updated home full of free space!
