Clothing Storage Tip of the Day - Cramped Closets

Don’t overcrowd your closets. Proper air circulation is critical for preserving fabrics. If you choose to store infrequently worn or off-season garments in a guest room closet to avoid overcrowding your closet, be sure to open the closet doors and leave a fan on in the room from time to time and when you go on vacation. Alternatively, Garde Robe provides a Seasonal Clothing Storage Service.

Clothing Storage Tip of the Day - Leather

Leather items (handbags, footwear and garments) are hygroscopic, meaning they absorb a lot of moisture and can take longer to dry completely. After cleaning, keep leather pieces outside the closet for a few days before placing them in the closet. Items placed in the closet too soon could cause mildew and contaminate the closet.
