“How should clothes be stored?” is the only question this page answers. The short answer is: Store garments clean and dry. Soil left in fibers sets. Fold knits so hangers do not stretch the shoulder. Hang structured wovens if the cloth supports its own weight. Plastic that traps damp is a mildew risk. None of this removes a stain that is already in the fiber.

The points to keep are Clean first. Knits fold. Some wovens hang. Dry beats airtight damp.
