Someone once told me it was bad to store blankets or comforters in those big black bags (glad)is this true?if true y is it true
properly drying the car thoroughly with a hair dryer will prevent the mold from growing, also theres this product called damp rid, which is a powdery thing u put in a little vented box, its normally used to prevent mold from growing in your closet but u can use a small amount and leave it back there, check on it dailywhat it does is take out the moisture from the air and turns the powder into water, so just empty out the water put more powder and your ready to go, what also works is cedar chips
Quilts and other bedding made with natural fibers need to breathe and should not be stored in plasticAir contains moisture, and once trapped in the bag it will can cause mildew and moldThe plastic can also cause discoloration on the fabric, and some plastics can get gummy or brittle with ageIt's possible that synthetic fabrics can react to the plastic bags as wellI've seen some odd things happen with some bagged items we pulled out of storageI've seen the bags get old and the layers start to separate, and the black color stick to the items in the bag That being said, I have used the vacuum bags for bedding, I figured it took all the air out so the risk was minimal, but if you are storing your great-grandmothers' quilt, or some valuable bedding you should call a quilt store or club to find how to store it in your area I have also stored rarely used and inexpensive bedding in plastic bags as it was not valuable enough for me to worry aboutI would think those extra large clear glad bags would be a better choice than garbage bagsThey seal better, you can squish the air out to minimize moisture damage, you don't have to worry as much about your items turning black, and you will know what you have in which bag without opening everything and digging around You also don't have to worry about someone tossing your favorite quilt because they thought it was garbage.
