You have likely seen the commercials about Spacebags and wondered whether they actually work or not. This post will try to respond to the question.
The entire idea behind Spacebags is they may be used to store dry products such as off-season clothing, pillows, blankets and towels. It is simple to use and easy to implement the following steps:
- You put the things into the bags and close the zip.
- Then you use the hose of your vacuum cleaner to suck the air out of the bag.
- Store the bag away with all of your items decreased in size.
This basically causes the things to shrink in size by as much as 75 percent. This is the percentage that the manufacturer claims, but my experience shows about a 50 percent decrease in size which still isn’t bad considering all of the other benefits as well.
You may then store the bag in your wardrobe and it’ll take up a lot less space. Therefore the answer is yes; these vacuum storage bags do truly work. You cannot only reduce the majority of the things you want to store, but you can keep bugs and moisture out of the bags so that your items will be preserved in good shape till you want them again.
When you are ready to start using the items again, just take them out of the bags and fluff them up by hand. You can put the things in your dryer for a couple of minutes to fluff them up again too.
Many folks store vital documents and papers in Spacebags, because they need to preserve them and protect them from moisture. If you’ve ever experienced a flooded cellar you know that taking additional cares to save your vital papers can payoff in the longer term. The seal and air tight facets of the bags are a significant advantage as well as the reduction of bulk. I have even heard of individuals store their silverware in Spacebags because it keeps it from tainting. The bag is sealed to stop air from entering or anything more in fact.
To conclude, these bags do actually do what they say they will. They’ll reduce bulk and preserve your items when you want to store them.
