Duvets, blankets, sheets and pillows may be something you want to properly store in self storage. So you may be asking: Do you have any limitations on what you can safely store? What substances don't do well in self storage? Which items will be secure for a long time in self storage?
Consider the following advice to keep your bedding fresh, free of permanent stains, and safe from mould and mildew damage:
1. Use the Correct Container
To preserve their freshness and reduce the chance of damage, it is advisable to store blankets, sheets and pillows in a secure container. For the majority of bedding types, containers like vacuum sealed bags, cedar chests and transparent plastic bins with lids are excellent choices. Avoid vacuum-sealed bags if you have feather/down-based bedding because they can make each piece lose its structure. Choose cedar chests or large plastic containers instead, which will keep the bedding safe while allowing it to breathe and keep its shape.
2. Clean Bedding Before Storing It
It is advisable to make sure that your bedding has just been washed if you plan to store it for several months or years. This can lessen the likelihood of stains setting in permanently by cleaning the cloth of any dirt or skin oils. The easiest way to keep your bedding smelling good and remaining fresh when you go to retrieve it is to wash it in advance.
3. Avoid Damp Storage Areas
It is advisable to choose a facility that offers high-quality, climate-controlled apartments when selecting a storage unit. This will enable you to minimise the risk of mould or mildew problems even if your bedding stays in storage for extended periods of time while keeping the unit dry and at an appropriate moisture level.
