How Do You Store Clothes In Plastic Totes?
Often, people find they need to store clothing for later use. Whether it’s baby clothing that you plan to use for your future children, winter sweaters that are no longer needed in the summer, or old recital costumes, the most pressing issue is storing the items so that they are safe from insects, dirt and water. There are costly ways to do this, including purchasing expensive storage bags. For those who want to store their clothing easily and without great expense, there is another option: plastic totes. Purchase plastic totes in the sizes you need from your local discount or department store–this typically costs between $4 and $12, depending upon the size. Ensure the plastic tote has a secure, air-tight lid–these are usually included with plastic totes. Ensure the clothing you plan to store is clean and dry. Odorous clothing that is stored for a prolonged period with other articles of clothing will transfer their smell, and wet clothing will mildew when placed in an air-tight bin.
