How to Store Your Christmas Ornaments - Big Guy Storage
Christmas is coming. We imagine you are now setting up your holiday tree and decorations. However, regarding specific decorations and ornaments, it pays to be careful and store them properly for the following year. Exposing them to the open air is not wise, especially the exceptionally lightweight and delicate ornaments that break easily. So, how do you properly store your ornaments so they are safe and sound? Read on below to find out more.
Remember that you will not see these ornaments until next year when it is time to pack up or remove your tree. Because of this, it will be wise to dust them, even after you use them extensively. Use a soft brush and gently rub it against the ornament. Be careful, as most ornaments are prone to breaking. This gets any accumulated dirt and grime off as well. If you do it right, it will look brand new!
That said, if you want to clean them even more thoroughly, you can use water to remove tough stains. However, push only a little against the ornament; most are delicate and prone to breakage. Also, do not use harsh cleaning products. They can cause discoloration and erode the ornament over time.
When you put up your tree, you will have dozens of ornaments hanging on it. However, where do you put these ornaments when it is time to pack up? Keeping these ornaments in the designated boxes you bought them in is a great way to keep track of them, but things happen. You will lose at least a few ornament boxes during the holiday season. So, what do you do when it is time to put those ornaments away? A good life hack would be to use recycled egg cartons to keep them in. These circular cartons have the proper depth to hold most ornaments tightly without breaking them.
Alternatively, you can store your ornaments in a designated ornament storage box. It has internal shelves in many shapes and sizes, so you will find one that can keep your ornaments snug until next year.
If you want to keep your ornaments and decorations from taking up only a little space, why not get a storage rental to store some of them in your home? Self storage is the perfect answer to this.
