Bring on the bins

Add Downy dryer sheets in each bin to help keep clothes fresh

Large, stackable plastic bins are inexpensive and practical for storing clothes. Try adding aDowny Dryer Sheet to each bin to help keep clothes fresh.

Wash before storing

Use Tide detergents and Downy fabric conditioners to keep clothes soft and fresh

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

Store the clothes in the bin in heavy to light fashion for easy unpacking

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.
