Make sure to store your suitcases
No matter how long or short-term you plan to store your luggage, there are some steps you can't ignore. Make sure your suitcases are in good condition before you store them.
Clean your luggage
The luggage you carry on your trip can be a burden. Suitcases collect dirt in the parking lot and get scratched on airport conveyor belts. They then move around in cargo bays. But, don't worry. Your suitcase will look like new with just a few simple cleaning tips. Before cleaning your suitcase, make sure you read the instructions from the manufacturer.
Clean your suitcase exterior
You can wipe down a hard-sided suitcase with a soft cloth and mild cleanser. To remove paint marks or scuffs from conveyor belt bumpers, use an eraser cleaning pad.
To clean a soft-sided bag, you can use soap, water, and a soft brush. Use a very small amount of soap. Use a damp towel to remove any soap residue.
Do not forget to clean the wheels and handles of your luggage. Use a microfiber cloth, disinfecting wipe, or all-purpose cleaner to clean them.
Clean your bag's interior
You must empty your suitcase completely before cleaning it. Spray some air freshener on the suitcase if it isn't very dirty.
Wipe down any spillages in your luggage with soap and water. If necessary, use a stain-removal product. After drying, vacuum the luggage's interior. You can find more cleaning tips for your suitcases.
Let it dry!
Drying your luggage is an important step in packing it for storage. If there is any moisture trapped in your luggage, it can lead to mold growth or mildew growth. This is not something you want when packing for your vacation. To prevent mildew from growing, dry your bag completely after cleaning.
Zip your luggage
Although it may seem obvious, in order to save space, your suitcase should be compressed as much as possible. Zip up any expandable areas, and then fold the interior pockets.
Your suitcase should be covered
To prevent dust buildup and protect your luggage, cover it with a bag or cover. You should wrap or cover your luggage loosely as it can trap moisture and cause mold.

6. Showcase your suitcases
We understand that you may want to display your luggage sets you have purchased and invested in. It's better to keep it visible than to store it. If you have vintage-inspired luggage, which is in at the moment, stack a few suitcases together, place them above your kitchen cabinets, or set them under a table. These are some great ways to decorate your suitcases.
7. Avoid areas that are humid
Your suitcase should be completely dry before you store it. However, it is important that you keep your luggage away from humid environments. Your luggage should be kept dry and in an area with some airflow. Avoid storing your luggage in the basement or attic. If you have to, make sure you use a silica packet or a dehumidifier.
8. Consider a storage unit
Self-storage is a great option if you are having trouble finding the right place to store your luggage. An climate-controlled storage unit can be a great place to store your luggage. These units are controlled to reduce humidity damage.
