Most things get washed and put in the cedar closet, I wash my wool/cashmere and store.<br />North Face and any winter coats that are washable gets washed, but I like wait until as long as I can, because the cold can come back as soon as the NF jacket gets washed for the season ☺ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/putting-away-winter-clothes#post-1453432 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 10:54:32 +0000 Summer 1453432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the link, Anna. &nbsp;Just thinking about putting away winter clothes has lightened my day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/putting-away-winter-clothes#post-1453402 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 04:04:19 +0000 CocoLion 1453402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the advice to dry clean now rather than at the start of the season.&nbsp;I keep&nbsp;things in the dry cleaner's plastic bag. &nbsp;They fold sweaters over the middle with tissue, and I don't have a lot of humidity so the plastic bags are generally better than storing everything in a plastic storage bin. &nbsp;The storage bins are ok, I haven't noticed moths forming. &nbsp;But they can inspire a musty odor, so that everything needs to be washed, dry cleaned or at a minimum,&nbsp;aired&nbsp;out when removing after a period of storage. &nbsp;Even if the garments are&nbsp;put in the box&nbsp;perfectly cleaned.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/putting-away-winter-clothes#post-1453394 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 03:34:42 +0000 MsMaven 1453394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Timely. I have a couple of&nbsp;EF jackets that I have barely worn, so I was wondering if I should wash them before putting them away. I should and I will.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/putting-away-winter-clothes#post-1453389 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 03:29:38 +0000 Jaime 1453389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes, it is time to have winter coats cleaned here for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/putting-away-winter-clothes#post-1453366 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 01:29:45 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1453366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab reminders Anna - and it's so nice to see you on the forum again </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/putting-away-winter-clothes#post-1453333 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 00:14:26 +0000 Deborah 1453333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great info, thanks. &nbsp;We will be getting our winter items out very soon... cannot wait. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/putting-away-winter-clothes#post-1453270 Sun, 08 Mar 2015 21:38:31 +0000 Lyn D. 1453270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks- no point in having lovely clothes if we don't look after them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/putting-away-winter-clothes#post-1453240 Sun, 08 Mar 2015 20:34:30 +0000 Aida 1453240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good link. I'm just starting to work on getting my wintery stuff cleaned. Started with sweaters, coats are next, boots last since we'll still get wear out of those until like May I don't usually put winter stuff "away" but I think for the first time I'm going to put my cashmere away somewhere (at least the heavier stuff). I do need to get some cedar for them though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/putting-away-winter-clothes#post-1453208 Sun, 08 Mar 2015 18:49:56 +0000 retailgirl 1453208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good information! I was just looking in my closet, adding up the potential dry cleaning costs to put my winter woolens away. Yikes! Even though it's still wintery here, I'll start to retire a few pieces a week to lessen the $ pain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/putting-away-winter-clothes#post-1453192 Sun, 08 Mar 2015 17:57:45 +0000 annagybe 1453192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know some of you are still in the deep freeze, but perhaps this will help for later and now for others.<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://babyandco.us/blogs/news/18990799-closet-cue-storing-your-winter-wardrobe">http://babyandco.us/blogs/news.....r-wardrobe</a> </p>
