Dry-Cleaning Winter or Summer Clothes Before Storing

Question: Dry-Cleaning Winter or Summer Clothes Before Storing

Before storing my winter or summer clothes that I can't clean at home, should I have them dry-cleaned?

Answer:

You will want to have any article of clothing cleaned before you store it so that stains and odors don’t become permanent. And this is especially important when we are talking about wool since food stains can attract moths. But if you are only battling wrinkles, try steaming before spending money on dry-cleaning or professional pressing.
