Facts to Keep in Mind When Storing Artificial Wreaths and Garlands
1. Take the time to clean off those artificial wreaths and garlands that may have been outside. You will find that no matter where you are located, these items have seen some weather. So, clean them before storing them so that they look good as new when you hang these the next year.
2. Get the proper storage. Consider putting garland into hard plastic totes so that the garland is not pinched or smashed. You will find that wreath hanging bags are great especially if you have a closet or wall to hang these on. It keeps them looking great and ready to hang when needed.
3. Do not allow anything heavy to sit on these items while being stored, hence the reason that you need something strong to hold these. If something is heavy on these it will alter the way that these look when you take them back out next year.
