All representatives of the fair half of humanity are sensitive to their wardrobe. They rejoice at new things and are upset when their favorite thing becomes unusable. And this applies not only to clothes and accessories, but also to shoes. And most often it loses its presentable appearance due to improper storage. After all, when we put away our wonderful boots at the beginning of spring, we don’t even think about whether this is being done correctly? Is the neighborhood safe? Will we get useless junk next season instead of our favorite couple? In order to answer these questions, it is worth knowing a few nuances. Let's take a closer look at them.
How to prepare shoes for storage
In any business, the main factor is proper preparation. Before hiding things, you need to do the following:
- Remove the insoles and laces.
- Remove dirt and dust from the surface.
- Dry the items thoroughly. Even if they seem completely dry, being extra safe won't hurt. If this is not done, microorganisms and mold may grow in a damp environment.
- If the “clothing of your legs” requires repairs (replacing a zipper or heel, stitching), then this must be done before placing it in storage;
Reference! For repairs, use the services of reliable and trusted professionals.
- Before storing, treat your shoes with special products. Choose those that will help maintain an attractive appearance and also protect the products from cracking, drying out and tarnishing.
- Place thick material inside (you can use old newspapers). This will prevent the product from losing its shape and will not allow creases and cracks to form on the skin (leatherette).
Where and how to properly store shoes
You should pay close attention to the storage location. It should be dark, dry and ventilated space, away from heating sources.
Attention! When choosing, keep in mind the fact that long-term exposure to direct sunlight is strictly contraindicated for shoes.
Another trick lies in the conditions themselves. The following rules must be adhered to.
- Winter and summer shoes can be stored in one place. But For each pair you need to allocate its own container: a box or container.
- It is advisable to place each unit in thick case. This will protect it from dust settling.
- It is advisable to store soft textile items in multi-cell packaging. This way it will take up less space.
- For storage, select spacious packaging. Boxes should not restrict or deform things.
- Good to put in every container silica gel. This substance is included in the boxes with the pair being sold. It looks like a small sealed bag with granules inside.
Advice! To make it easier to find, please label the packaging. This way you can quickly find the item you need at any time.
By following the rules for preparing and storing shoes in the off-season, you will increase their service life. And thereby not only save your family budget, but also continue to enjoy wearing your favorite item.
