Pre-storage check and inspection record when not in use for a while.

Cover after cleaning and drying.

Before long-term storage, clean the item according to the manufacturer's instructions and ensure no moisture remains. Even if the surface appears dry, the clothing or any fabrics it comes into contact with may still be damp. Do not rush to seal the item in a case; use a drying method appropriate for the product. Do not rub painted surfaces as you would with normal dirt.

Reduce pressure and contact with objects.

Ensure that the weight is not concentrated in one place, and avoid hard metal fittings, dark-colored fabrics, and constricting clothing. Not all soft bedding is suitable; also check that the joints do not remain bent due to excessive sinking. Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources, and places prone to high temperatures and humidity, and arrange surrounding objects so that they do not fall over.

Record the storage date and condition together.

Recording the date of storage, the position, the protective material used, and any noticeable marks will make it easier to spot changes during the next inspection. It's practically important to follow the instructions and storage environment guidelines for inspection intervals and avoid stacking items so high that they become impossible to retrieve. If you notice increased stickiness or discoloration upon retrieval, identify the cause before storing the item again.
