Spring is the ultimate season of renewal. As you refresh your home after the colder months, you should also do the same with your wardrobe. Taking the opportunity to handle seasonal laundry and address minor clothing repairs now will ensure that your winter clothes are ready to be stored and your spring ones are fresh to wear. Here are a few tips.

Clean Your Stored Clothing

Start pulling your lighter-weight pieces from storage, like your dresses, shorts, T-shirts, tank tops, skirts, and swimsuits. If they’ve been packed in boxes since fall, wash everything before you wear them.

If you have a considerable amount of laundry, it’s worth bringing it to a dry cleaning service to take care of all at once. This will ensure that your clothes don’t hold any odors that may have developed during the offseason, and they’ll also look smoother and brighter. Plus, dry cleaning professionals will check each item for any stains or damage, a task that could take considerable time to do yourself.

Put Away Winter Clothing

As you retrieve your warm-weather attire, it’s time to put your cold-weather clothes away. To inspect the condition of your winter garments and leave them fresh for when you need them next, have them washed before you store them.

As you go through each piece, examine it for signs of damage. Handle minor issues, like broken or snagged zippers on coats and jackets, by taking them to a laundry service that does repairs. That way, you won’t have to deal with it when it comes time to wear the item again.

Finally, make sure to store each piece properly. Use garment bags to help delicate items, like wool coats and cashmere sweaters, retain their shape and condition.
