I purchased 16 decorative pillows today for on my couch (getting ready to move to newly built home and getting some of the design aspects taken care of before I move) after I filled 2 carts I realized that the pillows would take up a lot of storage space, so I thought getting some of the vacuum seal space bags would really help me to store them and also keep them protected, so I bought a couple of those to put them in. I tried them out and they worked great, but, after thinking about it some more, I’m a little concered that this may not be a good idea. I was originally thinking that they say the bags won’t hurt anything and when you open them everything some right back to life, but since these are decorative, I’m not sure if this is the case.
Some pillows are a suede looking material, I believe it is actually polyester, but would need to double check to be certain. The others are made of silky material. I will be alternating between sets and I also won’t be using them until I move, so they could be in there for up to 6 months or some. Should I be concerned that this could ruin the pillows, or should this really not cause a problem?
I’ve never used these bags before, so any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Thanks so much for you reply, again, greatly appreciated.
What would you recommend to steam out wrinkles from the pillows? I noticed they did wrinkle because I took one set out after I thought about it more to see what happened and I see they did get a little wrinkly, but I just brushed my hand over both sides (this was the suede type pillow) and the wrinkles came right out. I’m not sure about the silk pillows because I’ve not put them in one yet (I ran out of bags) so it is probably a good idea to know ahead of time so I am prepared.
Thanks again!
No they don’t ruin a thing!
They do cause wrinkles though!
Just steam them and they will be in top shape again!
Moved too many times to count!
