Don’t leave any particles of food or dirt on them. Give them a thorough clean so that stains don’t get increased in the fabric over time. Also, dirty clothes or anything sticky could attract insects. Make sure your clothes are dry-cleaned, washed and most importantly dry before you pack them.

Vacuum packing is advisable sometimes, or sometimes not. If the clothes are very 
expensive or are going to be stored for a long period of time, (Long term Storage) say more than 8 weeks then vacuum packing isn’t advised. However, if you want to save space and only need the storage short term, go ahead and suck all the air out!
