Tips to fold and store bedcovers in space-saving ways
There are a lot of reasons why storing and folding bedcovers in a proper way is important. Stating the obvious but folding & storing really helps with preventing wrinkles and creases, ensuring that your duvet looks clean and fresh before you put it to use. Proper storage also extends the life span of your bedding by reducing the chances of fabric damage and tearing.
1. Once you’re done folding your bedding, make sure to choose breathable storage bags to store your bedding. These bags help the bedding by keeping it free from dust and pests.
2. Don’t store bedding in damp/humid areas. This can facilitate mould and mildew growth.
3. If you vacuum seal your bags before storing them, they take up less space and are more protected from all the dust as well.
4. Using scented sachets, naphthalene balls, or dry sheets not only keeps stuffy odour away from your bedding but also lessens the risk of mould growth.
Step-by-step guide on how to fold your duvet/bedcovers
1. Smooth Out Wrinkles: Before folding, ensure your bedcover is smooth to avoid creases and wrinkles in storage.
2. Fold in Halves: Start by folding the bedcover in half lengthwise to create a long strip.
3. Fold in Thirds or Quarters: Depending on the size of your bedcover and storage space, fold the strip into thirds or quarters.
4. Use Acid-Free Tissue Paper: For delicate or heirloom bedcovers, place acid-free tissue paper between folds to prevent color transfer and protect the fabric.
5. Store in a Clean, Dry Place: Choose a clean, dry area away from direct sunlight and moisture to prevent mildew and discoloration.
6. Rotate Regularly: Rotate stored bedcovers periodically to prevent permanent creases and ensure even wear.
7. Label or Organize: If storing multiple bedcovers, label them or organize them by season, color, or fabric type for easy retrieval.
8. Consider Vacuum Sealing: If storage space is limited, consider vacuum sealing bedcovers to reduce bulk and protect them from dust and pests.
9. Avoid Hanging: Avoid hanging bedcovers for extended periods as this can cause stretching and distortion of the fabric.
10. Use Fabric Storage Bags: For long-term storage, consider using breathable fabric storage bags to protect bedcovers from dust while allowing airflow.
