Before storing, wash and dry clothes thoroughly—you wouldn’t want to pack away clothes with food or other stains. When you wash, addDowny® Fabric Conditioner so clothes are soft and fresh when you unpack.
Pack clothes heavy-to-light

For easier unpacking, place heavier items on the bottom of the bins like big sweaters and coats. Then, layer in lightweight sweaters and knits, rolling rather than folding them to prevent wrinkling. Top off with socks and tights.
