I need a neat way to store my clothes that doesn’t involve a dresser or plastic bins or vacuum bag things. Im staying in a kinda basement apartment and there’s no closet. Im trying to go for something subtle, simple, and modern. Any sites or ideas would be great

ok so im going back to college and i bought some space bags to pack my clothes in. I bought the flat bags and i put all my clothes in them but when i vacuumed out the air they were not as flat as it says on the box or even on the commercial. So im wondering whats the best way to pack things like jeans and bulky things like hoodies so that it is completely flat. And also when i use the vacuum is it supposed to fit completely over the valve or does it not matter.

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP

I have these neighbors who are just absolutely repulsive! Lately they haven’t been over to our house, but because we’ve made ourselves unavailable to them. But before they were always here, always asking for things, always needing our help. Then it turned into not asking anymore. They would just walk in instead of knocking, making themselves at home, putting their nasty stinky feet on our couches, walking straight to our refrigerator and asking to eat our food or drink our sodas. One day they were here and I began vacuuming, and they said I was O.C.D. because I vacuum all the time. Truth is, I have a one year old and vacuuming is very necessary all the time, am I right? I guess they would say that because when I went into their house, it was disgusting! There was absolutely no space to walk, there was food crumbs everywhere, dishes, clothes, junk, all over the floor and on their couches. The kitchen was completely destroyed, the stove that was once white was completely black, there were millions of trash bags just waiting to be taken out, moldy food sitting around, just totally disgusting. They even admitted to me that they came to our house so much to get away from the disaster they have at home. Yet when I go over to ask them something, I see them sitting on their lazy butts, always on their laptops, wasting valuable time they could be using to clean. Well, my concerns are with their child. Their house is so nasty that they have mold growing in their restroom and no will to clean it. So they never bathe her, they always keep her in a playpen (which she is already one year old, she should be able to have space to run around!), they don’t even feed her right. You can see it when they bring her out to play with my son and the other neighbor’s daughter. My son and the other neighbor’s daughter are chubby, very healthy looking and able to walk and run. Their child is very small, very thin, and has trouble responding when they call her name, and walks without bending her knees. They said they don’t really know what they can give her to eat, so they give her 3 bottles of non-fat milk all day. They put her in her crib for constant naps all day so they don’t have to deal with her. She had a horrible diaper rash with bleeding and sores, and they came home with a carton of cigarettes instead of diaper rash cream and had the ordacity to say that they could not afford diaper rash cream. I felt so bad, I gave them a tube of my son’s. There is just so much more that I could go on and on about, but the point is, that baby is not in good hands. My problem with this is that I have no proof but the words of my two neighbors who also see all this going on. I have a picture of the husband throwing the baby in the air so high that it makes me so mad to see it! (they gave me a print out) The thing is, I am the only one who has it and if I do send it to someone for investigation they will know its me. I seriously do not know whether I should let it be or do something about it. I’m not even very interested in being friends with them at this point, but it just feels so messed up! Someone help me! What would you do?!

I’m sorry it is so long, but I had to let you know most of the situation, its so frustrating!

those space bags where it squishes your clothes real thin after you vacuum the air out. I need to use them to pack more clothes in.. I don’t see why they wouldn’t be allowed, they’re clear & shouldn’t effect seeing through when going thru security.. But just wondered, thanks!!

I have a lot of clothes (which I wear) but don’t have anywhere for them. My closet is full with hanging clothes and the floor has tons of shoes (which I also where). It’s a very small closet or I would put up another shelf. I don’t want to use those vacuum bags or rubber maid totes I think they are called. I was just wondering if there was any other ways to store clothes I wasn’t thinking of. I need to get my dresser out of my room because it doesn’t go with my new paint sceme and takes up way to much space. Any ideas? Thanks

I’m moving to France and I’ve placed all of my clothes in one of those space bags that you can vacuum the air out of and compress to save space…

I’ve got a really nice Lambskin leather jacket that I placed in a plastic cover (like the one you get when you pick up your dry cleaning) and then sandwiched between a few layers of cotton shirts, and then finally vacuum sealed…
I’ve read that they don’t recommend placing leather in a vacuum bag because the chance of mold or bacteria growing inside the space bag, but I’ve got it pretty well protected with the other clothes and in the plastic sheet…

I’m just wondering if this is safe for my jacket and if anyone has experience with a situation like this. Thanks!

I’m going to fog for fleas on Monday, I’m currently rearranging my kids rooms and vacuuming like crazy (and freezing the vacuum bag in a sealed bag overnight so I can use again).

I know I have to have everything off the floor but I have a lot of blankets and clothes (5 of us in the house) that were previously stored in closets and plastic boxes.

Should I wash & dry them then tie them in plastic bags and when we’ve fogged put them away or leave them on a table in bags set off the foggers and wash them after?
I just don’t want to wash them all now just to wash them again after we bomb for fleas.
Any help would be appreciated.

ps. after we fog the entire house what should we do to avoid a reinfestation, we don’t have cats or dogs.
Thanks for all the advice

What should I do with them before I bomb the house? Should I rehang them in the closet or bag them and leave the bags open at the top when we fog?
If I fold the blankets and put them in the box again will the fogger work on them?

I have never had to fog my house before so I don’t want to mess it up

I live in texas with my parents and i plan on moving back to new york where i grew up next month. I have so many clothes and such little space. I was wondering if spacebags,the bags where you put clothes in and vacuum the air out would be good to use,or would it cause a hassel at airport security?

I’m going to Switzerland in June, with stopovers in Singapore and London, and was wondering if it’s okay to use space bags for my clothes? I know that it will obviously not make my luggage lighter, thats not the issue, I just need more space. I have purchased extra weight allowance so I am fine for the weight requirements.

People have said to me that customs may make me take my stuff out of the bags? In which I will be effed cause I don’t have a vacuum to get it all back in. Is this the case? Or will everything be alright?

Also, I am staying with family over there, so there is no issues about not having a vacuum when I leave.
And this is why I need the extra room, my mums making me take all these gifts over for them!

Thanks!
