Happy Haunting and Happy Storing

As Halloween approaches, it's time to embrace the spooky spirit and start preparing for the festivities. From costumes and decorations to props and party supplies, storing your Halloween items properly can ensure they remain in excellent condition for years to come. In this blog, we will provide valuable tips on how to store your Halloween items effectively, keeping them organized and ready for the next haunting season. Let's dive in!
 
Sorting and Organizing:
Begin by sorting your Halloween items into categories such as costumes, decorations, props, and party supplies. Consider using clear plastic bins or labelled boxes to keep everything organized and easily identifiable. Create an inventory list to keep track of your stored items, making it easier to find what you need next year.

 
Costume Care:
Before storing costumes, ensure they are clean and completely dry to prevent mould or mildew growth. Consider using garment bags or vacuum-sealed bags to protect costumes from dust and pests. Add a few silica gel packets to absorb any moisture and maintain the quality of the fabrics.
 
Decorations and Props:
 Wrap delicate decorations, such as ceramic or glass items, in bubble wrap or tissue paper to prevent breakage. Store decorations in sturdy, labelled boxes, and consider using dividers or compartments to keep smaller items organized. For larger props, disassemble them if possible and store them in a separate area of the storage unit to maximize space.
 
Party Supplies:
Store paper goods, such as plates, cups, and napkins, in sealed plastic bags to protect them from moisture and pests. Keep themed party supplies together in clearly labelled containers for easy access next year. Consider donating or recycling any leftover or unused party supplies to declutter your storage space.
 
Properly storing your Halloween items can save you time, money, and stress when the next spooky season rolls around. By sorting, organizing, and taking necessary precautions, you can ensure your costumes, decorations, props, and party supplies remain in excellent condition.  Happy haunting and happy storing!
