Storing Winter and Spring Items, Bringing Out Summer Essentials

Among the activities involved in preparing your home for the summer is putting away items you don’t need. Before storage, clean the items to prevent odor and stains. Store delicate items in breathable bags and boxes. Label your storage containers with their contents and season. Switch to lighter sheets for the summer to avoid sweating at night. Percale and linen sheets can keep you cool in the warm weather.

Since you won’t need your winter clothes, store them in garment bags. Avoid plastics as they can trap moisture, favoring the growth of mildew. Cardboard boxes can be used for accessories and boots. Put your summer outfits at the front and move your winter clothes to the back of your closet. This allows you to rediscover old favorites and pair them with new designs.

Shop Local

Community living allows you to support local businesses while enjoying the warm weather. Consider taking a food tour at the local Pike Place Market. This iconic market is full of historical aspects and delicious local food. Food tours include early-bird testing, plant-based food tours, and seafood tasting. Shug’s Soda Fountain and Ice Cream offer a memorable summer treat.
