Even though you do not require special training to learn how you should store your clothes, here are a few basic things that you must know in order to keep the longevity of your clothes and accessories intact. Follow these basic tips in order to keep your wardrobe fresh and organized throughout all the seasons.

The easiest alternative to moth balls are lavender and lemon feels which you can use for keeping clothes fresh throughout the year.              

l  Don’t forget to clean your clothes

The most effective mantra to keep your clothes protected is to ensure that you wash them before you finally store them away. Even if you store your clothes in the best ways possible, it would be pretty useless if you do not wash or dry clean them before doing so. You should also check the pockets of your clothes to ensure that you did not leave anything in them.
