Hi
Please help me - marriage at stake!
We have recently had some cupboards built to store my dear wife's fabric collection. The problem is that the cupboards are against an external wall which can get cool. There is a risk of damp, which could lead to fabric damage. I can install ventilation and even heaters in the cupboards, but I wondered if either of the following would be a good solution.
a) Storing the fabric in air tight plastic bags on the cupboard shelves. You can get large 'vacuum bags' for clothes which are designed to have the air sucked out, but I guess they could also be used simply as air-tight containers without actually pumping the air out.
b) As above, but using plastic boxes (large thin ones) with decent air-tight lids.
If anyone has alternative solutions I would also love to hear them.
Many thanks
Steve
