Don’t Store It Dirty: Protect Your Wardrobe the Right Way
- Q: Why is it essential to clean your clothes before storage?
A: As the seasons change, it’s common to rotate wardrobes and tuck away items until next year—but before you pack everything up, there’s one crucial step you shouldn’t skip: professional cleaning. Even if garments look clean, invisible stains from body oils, food, or sweat can oxidize over time, causing yellowing and permanent damage. Dirt also attracts pests like moths and silverfish, which can chew through natural fibers such as wool or silk. On top of that, unwashed clothing can develop musty odors, and dust or oils left on fabric can break down its integrity. Professional dry cleaning removes these risks—protecting your garments from stains, pests, and odor while helping them last longer. When everything is clean, you can store your wardrobe with confidence, knowing it’ll come out fresh, crisp, and ready to wear next season.
