How to Store Summer Clothes Properly Until the Next Season
In autumn, before summer clothes are put away for several months, it is worth storing them properly and reviewing the whole wardrobe. The company Zaļā josta advises sending unusable items to textile sorting.
As the seasons change, summer clothing gradually disappears from everyday wardrobes. Before putting it away for several months, it is worth taking care of proper storage and also reviewing everything in the closet.
Organise rather than stuff
Dresses, shorts, shirts and other warm-weather clothes should not simply be pushed into boxes or crammed into the back corner of a wardrobe. Proper care and storage help extend how long clothing can be used.
Reviewing the wardrobe
The change of season is a suitable moment to decide what to keep wearing, what to repair and what to pass on. Such a review helps people better understand what they really need and assess their consumption habits. It can also prevent wearable clothes from prematurely becoming waste.
Order of steps
According to Zaļā josta, the first thing to consider is how to keep clothing and use it for longer. Damaged items can then be repaired, and those no longer needed can be given on for reuse. Only when a garment is considered worn out after these steps should proper sorting be considered. If clothes are given away, the company urges people to hand them in for textile sorting.
