Wash and dry all summer clothing before storing. When done drying, press any items that need pressing and then fold all items. When folding, make the item as small as possible. This will make it easier to fit more items in one container.


Step2
Sort items into piles according to each person and type of clothing. Put all like items together, such as shorts in one pile and shirts in another.

Use cedar bags or cedar balls and place inside large plastic containers to keep bugs and moths from creating holes in your clothing. If you are using bags, line the bottom of the container. If you use cedar balls, place them around your clothes after you are finished placing your clothes in the container.


Step4
Place folded items inside containers. When it's full, place lid on top and label container with the name of the family member whose clothes it contains and what is inside.

Step1
Wrap each button individually with small strips of aluminum foil before washing the garment. Lay foil on top of the button and press the foil downward under the button. Make sure the foil is wrapped tight and will not fall off.


Step2
Pretreat the garment with a spray if needed for stains. Wash as usual.


Step3
Air dry your garment. Being placed in the dryer is bad news for decorative buttons; that's when most buttons break because of high heat and tumbling action.


Step4
Remove the foil from the buttons when the garment is dry. Buttons should be intact.

Step1
Plan to wash any fabric with urine stains. This is the only way the smell and stain will come out.


Step2
Find the stain and pretreat it with a stain remover. The sooner the stain is treated, the easier it will be to remove.


Step3
Wash normally. If the fabric's care label states "dry clean only," the item will still need to be washed. This may cause bright colors to bleed. But if you took your item to a dry cleaners, they would have to wash it too.


Step4
After washing the item, check stain. If it is gone, proceed with drying the item according to the care label. If the stain is not gone, repeat Step #2. If stain came out of a dry-clean item, do not dry it in a dryer. This can cause major shrinkage. Let the item air dry, then press if necessary.
