Summer has passed, and the weather is getting cooler and cooler, I believe everyone should also organize their clothes for changing seasons. But the collection of summer supplies is still of particular concern, otherwise it will become "unrecognizable" when taken out next year. The following are tips for collecting summer supplies.

 【1】Cotton and linen clothing collection

  Wash and iron, stack them flat and store them separately according to the depth of the color.

 【2】For cotton fabrics or clothes with metal objects such as zippers, belt buckles, metal buttons, etc., it is best to wrap them in plastic bags or white paper and then collect them.

 【3】Seal of silk clothes

  To prevent wrinkling, when collecting, it should be placed on the upper floor of the wardrobe and put a few lining cloth on it to reduce moisture entering the wardrobe. Store silk clothes and do not use mothballs, otherwise the clothes will turn yellow. Also be careful not to mix cotton silk clothing with real silk clothing to avoid discoloring of the silk clothing.

 【4】Collection of leather sandals

 ①. First, maintain the upper and soles of leather sandals. The uppers of various leather sandals, except for synthetic leather, cannot be wiped with a damp cloth, and they are not soaked in water. Otherwise, it is easy to wipe off the color paste from the upper and affect the appearance. Too much water will also cause the cortex to gradually harden and affect the fastness.

 ②. For sandals with various glossy leather, you can first use ordinary white eraser to gently wipe the upper, then wipe off the dander with a clean soft cloth, then apply white shoe polish, and then brush it lightly with the shoe brush after it is slightly dry, and then wipe it with a soft cloth to make the leather upper shiny as new.

 ③. If brown or red leather shoes are stained, you can apply some lemon juice and rub it with shoe polish to remove the stain.

 ④. Also remove stains from leather sandals or imitation leather sandals. If there is sludge accumulated in the soles of leather sandals, use a dry brush to brush; if the imitation leather or rubber soles are washed with a brush dipped in water.

 ⑤. When collecting leather sandals, the sweat in the shoes should be dried to prevent mold. When collecting, it is best to stuff some cloth into the shoe to prevent the upper from collapse and then place it in the shoe box, so that the sandals can keep the toe shape straight and not deformed.

  【5】Collection of bamboo mats

  Bamboo mats are divided into two types of cold mats: bamboo skin and two-layer leather. ①. Store the bamboo mat, scrub it with soapy water, rinse it with clean water, then apply talc powder and roll it up. The diameter of the rolled cylinder should not be less than 30 cm to avoid breaking the bamboo fibers. Roll the bamboo mat along the rope and do not roll it back, so as not to break the rope. ②. When collecting bamboo mats, wrap them with paper and place them in a cool place. They should not be damp or heated. This way, they will not be moldy or mothy, which will greatly extend the service life of the mat.

  【6】Collection of electric fans

  Before collecting, first wipe the dust and dirt on the air blades, mesh covers, motor case and base to keep their appearance neat and prevent dirt from rusting the electric fans. Then wipe it with a soft cloth dipped in soap, then dry it with a dry cloth, and then tidy it with a shading wax. Do not wipe it with gasoline, alcohol, benzene and other solvents to avoid damage to the paint and lose its luster.
