Choose the right storage area with the right temperature.

First, it is important to know how long your ornaments and lights will be stored before next year's Christmas so that you can choose the right storage area. If some of them are being saved from one year to the next then a cool dry place with low humidity would work best such as a closet, attic, or storage container.

Keep everything dry before storing to prevent molds.

If you are putting everything into storage, make sure that all the lights and ornaments are completely dry before you put them away. Wet items can cause molds to grow, and this will ruin your decorations very quickly. If you failed to store your decorations properly, call a reliable cleaning company that can help you clean your Christmas decorations.

Wrap up all the cords to keep them tangle-free.

Another way you can help to protect your Christmas decors for years is to wrap up all the cords. You can use an old bread bag or any type of cheap storage bag. This will help to keep them from getting tangled and ruined while in storage. It will be easier for you to use them again when they are not tangled.

Package each item separately.

When packing away any type of decoration, it is always best to package them individually. This will help to prevent them from getting damaged and it will be easier for you to find what you are looking for next year. Don't forget to label them!

Hire a cleaning service you can trust.

If you're short on time or just don't feel like dealing with the hassle of cleaning up your Christmas decorations, there is always the option to hire a professional cleaning service. This will take all the stress and work off your plate so that you can focus on enjoying the holidays. A cleaning company will ensure that all your Christmas decorations are properly cleaned and restored to their former glory.
