🧺 How to Store Sweatshirts in Closet – 5 Easy Tips
1. Fold Instead of Hanging
Sweatshirts are thick and heavy. Hanging them on a standard hanger can stretch out the shoulders and neckline over time.
✅ Pro Tip: Use the vertical fold method (like Marie Kondo) to save space and keep sweatshirts upright in drawers or bins.
2. Use Shelf Dividers
If you’re stacking sweatshirts on a shelf, use vertical dividers to prevent toppling and mix-ups. This helps you keep your hoodies sorted by color, season, or style.
✅ Try using clear acrylic shelf dividers or adjustable cubbies.
3. Store by Season
Rotate your sweatshirts by season. Keep winter-weight styles and fleece hoodies accessible in colder months, and store away lighter ones for spring and summer.

4. Keep in a Cool, Dry Place
Moisture is the enemy of cotton. Avoid storing your sweatshirts in damp basements or humid closets. Choose a dry, well-ventilated space to prevent mildew and odors.
🧺 Bonus: Avoid plastic bags — they trap humidity. Use breathable cotton storage bags instead.
5. Add Lavender or Cedar Sachets
Lavender sachets or cedar balls add a natural fresh scent and deter moths. Perfect for long-term storage.
