Organizing Your Winter Clothing with SpareBox Self Storage

As the cold season creeps closer, it is an opportune moment to sort through one's closet and be ready for the chilly months ahead. When our living spaces are at a premium, it becomes all the more necessary to use that space efficiently. Storing bulky winter clothing in an accessible way so that it can be retrieved when needed, while not allowing it to be a distraction or a nuisance, is ideal. Here are some tips on how to do just that. Before putting away your cold-weather attire, take some time to go through your everyday wardrobe and get rid of anything that you haven't worn for a while. If you don't need it now, you won't need it later. Be relentless and use judgment on the right side of harsh, otherwise, you’re keeping the moth-eaten turtleneck another year because it’s a keepsake from your trip to Europe. One of the best tips is to assort your clothes in a specific direction, and then when you take them out to wear them, you put them back in the opposite direction of what you originally assorted them by. That way, you can see what items you’ve worn throughout the year vs the others. When you next pull out your winter clothes, you'll want them in memory and in shape to wear. As for packing, be sure your Merino wool sweaters and other wearables are clean and dry, the better to avoid mustiness and unwanted "happenings." To keep winter garments safe, pack them in clear plastic bins. Make sure they are airtight. Clear, empty plastic storage bins can be bought for not too much per bin. They are sold at The Home Depot, Walmart, and everywhere else that sells storage bins. The bins can be in your garage, your attic, your basement, or wherever, but they should be easy to get to. If you don’t have this space available, renting a cost-effective self-storage unit may be the right answer. If you’re worried about the integrity of your handmade sweater that Grandma made, you may want to also look into a climate-controlled storage unit. When you use SpareBox for self-storage, you can keep your home free of clutter. Meanwhile, you can keep those bulky winter clothes neatly packed and secure until you're ready to wear them again.
