That's why we are the best clothes storeroom

Compared to basements, attics, or garages, LAGERBOX offers clear advantages.
Storing clothes in the basement is very risky due to mold. Attics are hardly suitable, as extreme temperature fluctuations and dust can damage stored items. Storing clothes in the garage is also not permitted—by law, it can only be used for vehicles. With LAGERBOX, on the other hand, you benefit from a constant climate, a clean environment, and professional security standards.

LAGERBOX protects clothes from moth and mold

Our storage rooms are dry, air-conditioned, and clean, making them the best solution for storing clothing. Moths and mold don't stand a chance with us.

Basements and attics are not safe places to store clothes.

Basements and attics cannot offer you these quality features when it comes to the safe storage of your textiles and fabrics. These areas are subject to varying temperatures, direct sunlight, moisture, and therefore mold or mildew, and insects can easily enter through openings and nest in your clothes.

How should you prepare clothes for storage?

• Only store clean clothes: it is best to wash them at 60°C beforehand. This will remove anything that should not remain in the clothes during months of storage, such as odors, skin particles, and, of course, dirt.
• Allow clothing to dry completely: This point is quite evident: After washing, moisture must be completely removed from clothing before it is stored, otherwise you will encourage mildew and mold. To do this, you can iron everything or dry it thoroughly, i.e., dry it in the closet. When folding your laundry, especially delicate fabrics such as silk, leather, or organza, you can insert tissue paper to prevent creases and marks from buttons or zippers.
• Storing clothes – ideas: Place tissue paper between delicate fabrics
• Use scent protection: You can further enhance the anti-insect effect by giving your clothes a specific scent. Lavender, cedar oil, or neem oil will keep moths away. Simply put a few drops of the substance on a piece of wood or fill a scented sachet and place it in the storage room.
• Use vacuum bags: To store clothes in a space-saving way
• Store shoes: It is best to clean them thoroughly, otherwise the materials will absorb dirt. You should also store shoes in a dry place and stuff them with newspaper. Apply shoe polish to the outer layers (especially for leather shoes) for protection.

All this means storing clothes properly according to the DKST rule: dark, cool, clean, dry! This way, your clothes will be well protected during storage – at LAGERBOX.
