Now that Halloween has passed, it’s time to pack up your Halloween decor for storage! However, as easy as it sounds I can assure that it is not. That is, if you want to pack everything up quickly and have time to explore fun Halloween activities in NYC. And furthermore, pack it in such a way that you know where each piece of decor is and so that you can unpack it easily and quickly. With these tips, you’ll be able to do just that! So stay tuned.

Be organized when you pack up your Halloween decor for storage

Packing up your Halloween decor for storage in an organized way is very important. The reason is that if you keep it organized you will save yourself a lot of time next year when you’re unpacking it. Because if you pack all the skeletons, for example, in one box, you’ll have to spend some time sorting them out before you can put them to their place.So the best way to keep it organized is to pack your Halloween decor for storage room by room. That means that you shouldn’t mix decorations from different rooms in one box. All of the pieces of your Halloween decor that you’ve put in your living room, for example, you should put in a box that is labeled “living room”. So you may guess that labeling your boxes properly is key here. Because if you label boxes in the right way you won’t need to open every box to know where your decorations for the front porch are.

Defending your Halloween decor from insects

Before you start packing up your Halloween decor for storage you want to clean it first. Because the longer it stays stained, the harder it will be to clean it. Plus it can make the whole place where you’re storing it smelly. Furthermore, while you’re cleaning your Halloween decorations it’s a perfect opportunity to inspect it. And what you’re looking for are insects and their nests. As I’m sure that you don’t want to bring them into your storage space. Park Slope movers even suggest that you inspect your decorations before even taking it into the house to make sure that no pests get carried in.

So this way, you’ll be making sure that you only have decorative spiders and not real spiders in your boxes.And while we are on the topic of insects and their nests, we should mention packing supplies. Plastic bins are a much better option than traditional cardboard boxes. It’ll be harder for insects to get into plastic bins. Plus, they are sturdier and more durable which will make your Halloween decor safer in storage.

Are you packing up all of your Halloween decor for storage?

Packing up your Halloween decor for storage is the perfect time for decluttering. And don’t worry, I don’t mean for decluttering your whole basement or attic. I’m just suggesting that you shouldn’t pack decorations that you didn’t use this year. Or even those decorations that you used this year but probably won’t be using the next year. Perhaps you’re even bored of using the same old decoration every year. So get rid of something so that you can buy something new next year.Now, you can always donate your Halloween decorations instead of tossing them. I’m sure that plenty of people or institutions would be happy to get some new Halloween decorations. Or you can even try selling those items. After all, online shopping is getting more popular every day!

Practical tips for storing your Halloween decor

If you’ve done all from the above, it’s high time you started packing up your Halloween decor for storage. So here are some practical hacks to help you do that:

• if you have some piece of decor that has wax or candles be aware. Because wax can melt if exposed to heat and attic is a place that can get really hot in the summer. So put candles into something plastic or just keep them in a cool place
• remove the batteries from decorations because they can leak. Furthermore, keep those batteries in a plastic bag labeled properly so that you know where the batteries are next year
• save the seeds from your Jack-O-Lantern for the next year. And as for the Jack-O-Lantern, you can bury it in your garden to enrich the soil.

Or you can roast seeds and eat them just as well.

• use a plastic wrap to secure the moving parts on your Halloween decor

Time for Christmas decor

There’s one more reason why you should pack up your Halloween decor for storage, and that reason is, of course, Christmas! Even though you like your Halloween decor and wouldn’t mind keeping it up a while longer, you need to make room for Christmas decorations. You can’t have both Halloween and Christmas decorations in your home at the same time. Plus, if you get out your Christmas decorations, you’ll have more room to store your Halloween decor.
