Here are some tips on how to store everything from backpacks to holiday decor, and more in your home. For backpacks that aren’t currently being used, empty them and store them flat on closet shelves. Out of season, store flip flops in a plastic bin. If you can’t resist bringing some home with you, store them in your linen closet or guest bathroom for overnight guests. When you have more than you need, donate them to your local homeless shelter. If you plan on preparing your cleaned dress yourself, store anything with metal (such as buttons on a belt or sash) away from the dress. Choose an acid-free box and wrap your dress in special archival tissue paper for preservation.
