Store Your Decorations in Sealed Containers Off the Ground
Store your cleaned and packed decorations in heavy-duty plastic containers to protect them from insects, moisture, and dust. Clear containers are ideal, but if you can’t find those, simply label the outside to give you a clue about what’s inside. If your containers go into a garage, basement, or storage, stack them on shelving or a wooden pallet to keep them off the floor, elevating them away from potential water damage and pests. If there’s no space on the floor, consider installing a storage rack.
