1. Cleaning and Preparation

 Always make sure your clothes are cleaned before placing them in the mini-storage unit. If clothes are not properly cleaned, they may be damaged during storage. Therefore, it is recommended that you clean and dry all your clothes before storing them to ensure that they are stored properly.

2. Choose the right hangers

For clothes that need to be hung up, it is very important to choose the right hangers. Wooden, plastic or padded hangers are good choices, but steel hangers are not recommended as they may leave marks on your clothes. For cotton and knitted garments, we recommend folding and storing them to maintain their shape.

3. Choice of storage containers

Plastic containers are a good choice for storing clothes, but it is important to note that plastic can trap moisture, which can lead to problems with the clothes. Therefore, it is important to make sure that the items are completely dry when storing them, and you can add dehumidification packs to the containers to absorb any excess moisture. It is also not recommended to use cardboard boxes for storing clothes as they are not strong enough.

4. Use cedar blocks, not mothballs.

Cedar wood blocks have a natural effect on pest control and won't leave your clothes with an unpleasant odor. On the contrary, mothballs contain chemicals that may harm the immune system, so it is recommended to use cedar wood blocks for pest control.

5. Vacuum sealing or not?

Vacuum sealing does save space, but prolonged vacuum storage may cause damage to the fiber structure of clothing. Therefore, I suggest avoiding the use of vacuum sealing for storing expensive or especially important clothing.
