As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, it’s time to start packing away those breezy summer dresses, lightweight linens, and favorite warm-weather outfits. But before you simply fold and store them, there’s one important step that can make all the difference: steam care.
With Laurastar’s professional-grade steam technology, you can sanitize, smooth, and protect your seasonal favorites before they head into storage—and refresh them easily when it’s time to wear them again.
Why Steam Before Storing Clothes?
Most people fold their summer clothes and place them in bins or garment bags without a second thought. But unseen issues can build up while your wardrobe hibernates:
- Wrinkles set in and become harder to remove months later.
- Odors linger, especially from perspiration or environmental exposure.
- Bacteria, dust mites, and allergens can settle into fabrics.
- Fibers weaken over time if garments aren’t prepped properly.
Laurastar’s Dry Microfine Steam (DMS) penetrates deep into fibers, killing up to 99.9% of bacteria, viruses, and dust mites without harsh chemicals. It also relaxes fabric fibers to eliminate wrinkles and protect against long-term creasing.
Step-by-Step: Storing Your Summer Clothes the Smart Way
- Wash or spot clean first
Always start with clean garments—dirt and oils can cause discoloration and attract pests during storage. - Steam to sanitize and smooth
Use your Laurastar to freshen fibers, eliminate odors, and smooth out wrinkles so clothes look their best when you unpack them. - Use breathable garment bags or acid-free storage boxes
Avoid airtight plastic containers for delicate fabrics and opt for breathable cotton garment bags or acid-free boxes to maintain fabric health. - Store in a cool, dry place
Keep clothes away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or damp basements to prevent fading and mildew.
When Sweater Weather Returns—Revive and Wear
When it’s time to pull your summer clothes back out or swap winter sweaters into rotation, Laurastar makes re-wear effortless. A quick pass with DMS not only smooths and refreshes but also eliminates storage odors so garments smell and feel like new.
The Benefits Go Beyond Seasonal Storage
While steaming before storage keeps your wardrobe fresh, Laurastar’s technology is just as valuable year-round. From sanitizing thrift-store finds to smoothing travel-wrinkled clothes, it’s a versatile, eco-friendly way to keep every outfit looking its best.
