December is party season—but it’s also a great time to start planning for a clean, organised start to the new year. Here’s how to store your best outfits, winter clothes, and holiday linens the right way.
1. Clean Before You Store
Never store garments that were worn—even once. Body oils and invisible stains can oxidise and leave permanent marks.
2. Use Breathable Garment Covers
Avoid plastic. Use cotton or non-woven covers for long-term hanging. For folded garments, layer with acid-free tissue.
3. Dehumidify Your Wardrobe
Use charcoal packs or dehumidifier tubs inside cabinets to combat Singapore’s ever-present humidity.
4. Label Your Storage Boxes
Helps with organisation, but also reduces the urge to rummage and damage items mid-year.
Why It Matters:
Protecting your wardrobe now saves money, stress, and waste next year.
