Whether you are trying to organize cables, find a place for old electronics you don’t want to part with or make space for an extra appliance or two for a busy household, experts advise keeping them away from the garage. Instead, we suggest bedding and clothing storage ideas made for purpose, such as sealed vacuum bags from Amazon (opens in new tab) which can be kept in either under-bed storage boxes, or an organized linen closet. ‘Even some fully sealed plastic bins won't save the clothes from moth or rodent damage!’ ‘Whether out of season or waiting to be handed down, clothes should be stored inside where they are less likely to be in a damp environment,’ agrees Jackie Pittman (opens in new tab), a professional organizer at Chez Nous Organizing.
What’s more, there is a high potential for bugs to infiltrate and cause irreparable damage. ‘The climate conditions mean they are susceptible to degradation. Clothing and bedding, even old sets that you no longer wear or use, should never be stored in a garage – even in plastic tubs or on garage shelving, says Nancy Traylor, expert organizer. If paper is susceptible to mold and mildew, then it's no surprise that fabrics are too. (Image credit: Getty images / Aurica Vaduva / 500px)
