2. Things Made of Fabric, Including Leather
Meaningful fabrics like baby clothes, vintage quilts, and old wedding dresses should never be stored in the garage, as moth, heat, and water damage will ruin them. Mattresses and stuffed animals also fall into this category.
Leather clothing or furniture will discolor and crack due to environmental conditions, and rugs of any fabric will fall victim to bugs and moths. Anything that’s made of fabric, whether clothing, furniture, or décor, should be cleaned and stored according to professional standards.
If you want to avoid mold, discoloration, moth holes, and mildew, it’s best to store these things in the house, making sure you put them in plastic containers.
