Helpful Tips

It is interesting to hear how customers store their seasonal items.  So, how are you going to store your summer items PROPERLY for next year because we don't want them to get ruined due to improper storage like last year.  Since we all don't have big fabulous closets to keep all of our clothing it is necessary to pack items away.  Plus, cramming all of your clothes in the closet makes it harder to find what you want and causes wear and tear on clothing.

 
Here are a few suggestions to get on the right track to storing your items correctly.

  • Make sure all items are clean and all stains are removed. Don’t use starch on items about to be stored because they also attract insects.
  • To repel moths naturally, add a lavender-and-cedar-filled pouch in your storage bin.  Avoid moth balls or dryer sheets.
  • Avoid moving your clothing to places where bugs are more likely to be found and where temperature variations can damage your clothes. Store the clothing in a cool, even temperature, well-ventilated area away from artificial or natural light.  
  • Use Swathe’s 100% organic cotton Handbag and Footwear covers keep products free of stains and dust. 

We want you to enjoy the items that you treasure for next season and not spend unnecessary money re-purchasing. So, pull up those sleeves and take your time..you will definitely be glad you did!
