"Goodbye Summer, Hello Winter" Storage Tips - November 2, 2009

Store summer bedding and clothing in a clean, dry, airy place away from direct sunlight. Consider using under-bed storage boxes. Or look for vacuum seal bags that compress items by up to 75% while protecting them from dust and insects. If needed, raise the bed height with risers to create more storage space.

A locking outdoor shed like the ones from Lifetime Products is ideal for storing outdoor items you won’t need again until next summer or fall: bicycles and other sporting gear, pool toys and chemicals, lawn mowers and leaf blowers, gardening supplies and tools.
