Store hand-me-down clothes for another child

Good storage begins with clean, dry clothing and a system you can understand when the size is needed again.

Choose what to keep

Keep useful favourites in good condition. Pass on the rest while another family can use the size and style.

Pack by size and season

Use clean containers in a dry location. Label contents clearly and never trap damp or strong fragrance inside.

Review annually

Check for moisture, pests and changing plans. Let go of clothing that no longer fits the family's needs.

These are practical suggestions. Always follow the garment's care label and the manufacturer's instructions. For donations and textile waste, check the recipient's current guidance and your local collection rules.
