You can also put one of those little packets that comes in a shoebox with a new pair of shoes.

Why not toss silica jell packs in the bottom of the tote. They will keep the moister out of the totes.

I have been storing in cedar chest for years till I ran out of space, no its plastic boxes with silica packets inside, never had mold, and I am in South Fla, HUMID! You could try wrapping individual pieces in white tissue such as comes with clothing, and storing on shelves. In order to identify, photocopy piece of fabric, on back side write the amount of fabric in cut, this way you don't have to unwrap to see or measure

Where I live, we get lots of dust. High desert. How do you all feel I would be better storing abric? |
Have your hubby drill some holes in the top of the boxes and maybe a few in the top of the sides to let the boxes breath. and let moisture out.

Seems that somewhere I saw some bags of a chemical that would keep tightly closed plastic containers dry and mold free. Can't remember where at this time. Brain fog.... Should anyone find this, please let us all know. KInd Regards, MaryAnna |
