That's why we are the best clothes storeroom

In addition to these numerous advantages from our service area, however, we also offer advantages as garment storerooms, which are especially apparent in comparison with other potential storage options. Thinking about the alternatives, we think of the basement, the attic or the garage. However, there are quite a few space problems when you do not just want to store a few shirts and trousers, but really need your own storage area just for clothes.

LAGERBOX protects clothes from moth and mold

A much bigger problem with storing clothes in the long term is moths. The so-called clothes moth feeds on dander, but has no chance to penetrate our well-sealed rooms.

Another dreaded pest is called mold. The mushroom can make clothes completely useless, a scenario that you do not have to worry about on our premises. One of the basic requirements for preventing mold is dry storage at a constant temperature. Just as your clothes are stored with us, mold does not stand a chance.

Basements and attics are not a safe garment storerooms

The basement and attic can not offer you these quality features in terms of safe storage of your textiles and fabrics. There are different temperatures, there may be direct sunlight, moisture and thus mold or mildew, and even insects can easily penetrate through one or the other opening and nest in your clothes.

Attention: Clothes are prohibited to store in the garage

Unfortunately, the garage also fails as a clothes storeroom. Because there are not only similar exclusion criteria as in basement and attic, so higher mold risk, for example. The garage is also simply not allowed as a warehouse for everything. Only cars or motorcycles and their most important accessories may be stored here. The garage may not be misappropriated by law as an additional general purpose storage room. This is considered a regulatory offense.

Prepare clothes for storage

Such adverse circumstances are not to be expected from us. On the contrary, if you store your clothes with us, everything is in perfect order. The famous DKST rule for garment storage is used automatically by us, as our storage rooms are just like that: dark, cool, clean and dry.

Besides, you can also do your clothes good! Also, we have some valuable tips for clothing storage for you in stock:

• Only store clean clothes and garments: If your laundry allows it, you should wash the clothes at 60 °C before storing. So you remove everything that should not remain during the months of storage in the clothes, such as odors, skin particles and ultimately, of course, dirt.
• Let it dry completely - a point that is actually quite clear: After washing, the moisture must be removed entirely from the clothing before it is stored; otherwise, it will promote mold and mildew. For this you can iron everything or dry it accordingly thoroughly, so cupboard dry. If you fold the laundry, you can use tissue paper, especially on sensitive fabrics such as silk, leather or organza, to prevent wrinkles and marks through buttons or zippers.
• Dryness in fabrics and clothing makes them unattractive to moths and prevents mold. That's the way it should be, but you can specifically enhance the anti-insect effect by giving your clothes a specific fragrance. With lavender, cedar oil or no-oil you keep moths away. Simply put a few drops of the substances on a piece of wood or fill in a fragrance bag and position within the storage room - the well-scented moth protection is ready.
• In general, it is advised to store clothing protected from light and airtight. Here LAGERBOX immediately scores again, because that's exactly how the conditions are in our clothes warehouses. There is always a pleasant climate for stored substances. Vacuum bags can add extra air density while saving up to 75% volume reduction.
• It is also best to store shoes well-cleaned; otherwise, the fabrics will absorb the dirt. Also, you should also store shoes dry and stuff inside with newspaper. For the outer layers (especially leather shoes) apply shoe polish for protection.
