Before packing
winter clothes, read these tips, your clothes will retain shine and newness.
The winter
season is almost over and people have started decorating the summer clothes
back into the wardrobe and putting the winter clothes in the chest. In such a
situation, if you keep your woollen clothes in a safe box till next winter,
then you will see the same newness and softness in them as it is now.
Usually, people
wash and keep woollen clothes in the chest as soon as summer starts, but this
is not the right way to pack woollen clothes. If you pack woollen clothes in
this way, do not do it this time. .
Let’s learn the
right way to maintain woollen clothes, clothes will remain new
Winter is about
to go. The time has come to keep warm clothes. If you do not want your warm
clothes spoiled, then we are telling you the right way to maintain warm
clothes. Today we will tell you what things should be kept in mind before
closing the winter clothes in the box-
Wash Warm Clothes before Storing:
It is very
important to wash warm clothes before storing them in the cupboard. As we have
told you above, not doing so can cause damage to warm clothes. Use mild
detergent while washing woollen clothes. To wash clothes, soak it in detergent
for a while.
Brush it off:
There are many
winter clothes that can be washed and cleaned at home. In such a situation,
when it comes time to put clothes in the chest, they are usually washed in
homes and dried in the sun. But you have to dry the wool clothes thoroughly
before placing them in the box and brush them. Clothes that cannot be brushed
should be brushed thoroughly. This is because when you dry your clothes in the
sun, dust particles also freeze in them. It is necessary to remove them from
clothes, otherwise clothes can cause fungus.
Partition like this:
If you want to
keep many wool clothes in the same box, then you must make a partition of paper
between all the clothes. Many people pack clothes in plastic bags, but this
method is also wrong. No cloth should be kept inside the plastic bag for a long
time. You should pack the clothes in old newspaper and keep it in the box.
How to apply naphthalene balls:
Generally people
place naphthalene balls in the middle of clothes. But this method is wrong; you
should put 2-2 naphthalene balls in the four corners of the box. If you use
more naphthalene balls then it will not smell dirty if you use clothes again.
Even better, you tie the naphthalene balls in a thin cotton cloth and then put
them in the box.
Apart from
naphthalene balls, you can put some drops of neem oil (benefits of neem oil) or
lavender oil in a cotton pad and put it in the box. This will also keep your
wool clothes safe.
Fold and keep:
Fold warmly
while keeping warm clothes in the box. If you do not keep the clothes properly
folded, then there will be wrinkles in them, which will spoil their look, as
well as problems in packing the clothes. Especially if you are keeping a woollen
coat or jacket, then keep it well folded.
How to keep warm clothes safe:
Woollen clothes
should always be kept in a dry place. Due to carelessness, many times we leave
woollen clothes even in the bathroom, which is not the right way. Woollen
clothes which you are not using dry them in the sun and keep them in a dry and
closed place.
Along with
packing, you also have to keep in mind that the place where you store winter
clothes should neither be damp nor direct sunlight. You should pack them in a
place where there is darkness. If you store winter clothes in a damp place,
then they will smell.
Put the
newspaper in the briefcase or box in which you are keeping clothes, and put
some dry neem leaves on it. It will not keep moisture and your clothes will be
safe.
Liquid detergent
should always be used to wash woollen clothes. Apart from this, woollen and
warm clothes should be cleaned only with a soft brush. Woollen and warm clothes
should not be washed in the washing machine.
Moisture, woollen
and warm clothes are enemies. Due to moisture, there are funguses in woollen
clothes which are not visible but are very harmful for health. Therefore, it is
very important to dry warm clothes in the sun.
Woollen and warm
clothes are very soft. They should be kept away from hot water. Washing clothes
in hot water runs the risk of shrinking. Therefore, they should be washed with
cold water only. Mild lukewarm water can also be used to wash very dirty
clothes.
If there is any
stain on the woollen cloth, then first warm the water lightly. Keep in mind; do
not heat the water too much. Now mix a little spirit in this lukewarm water.
Wash woollen clothes with lukewarm water containing this spirit.
The use of
normal iron should be avoided while pressing woollen clothes. Steam iron should
always be used for woollen and warm clothes. If steam iron is not available in
the house, then place a cotton cloth on top of woollen and warm clothes and
press it.
If you have also
started to store winter clothes then you too must try these easy hacks.
