Sort While Switching
Rotating wardrobes is the perfect opportunity to sort through the clothing you have had in your closet all summer. You might notice that you haven’t worn a few outfits in quite some time or that a few articles of clothing just don’t fit anymore. Instead of placing those clothes in storage you can take them and donate them.

Clean your Closet
Now that you have emptied out your closet of your summer wardrobe you will want to take the opportunity to give your closet the cleaning it needs. Vacuuming the floor and dusting the shelves will help to keep your clothes fresh. Make sure you keep an eye out for any pesky insects that need to be removed as well.

Clean your Clothing
Making sure all of your clothing is clean is a must. Your clothing must be clean before placing it in storage or placing it in your closet for the winter. This just helps you in making sure your clothing is fresh and its quality is preserved.

Don’t use Cardboard Boxes for Storing
Cardboard boxes are too penetrable for storing clothing for months at a time. You will want to invest in the help of plastic storage totes to store your clothing in. Make sure the lid seals and you label it with a description of the clothing inside.
