Space Bags

Space is always at a premium if you are a homeowner, and sometimes the solutions we employ to address the problem only make it worse. If you have a tendency to keep bulky items loose or poorly wrapped in plastic bags, you may not realize just how much unnecessary volume those things are taking up. The truth is that many of the items we store the longest, such as bedding and seasonal clothes, are made up largely of air.Enter Space Bags, a storage solution designed to take your clutter and vacuum-seal it for more efficient storage. The concept is actually quite simple: simply pack the items you wish to store in the air-tight bag, then use a vacuum cleaner to pull out the remaining air through a one-way valve. You are left with a compressed, easily moved item that can take up less than a third of the space it formerly did. Space bags are great for the bedroom, dorm room, attic, basement, closet or any other storage space in your home or apartment.Of course, simply reducing the volume isn't enough if you are looking to reuse the items you are sealing in a space bag. To solve this problem, Space Bags are composed of durable nylon materials to ensure everything inside is protected from pests and moisture. The idea here is that you'll be able to pull out your winter bedding after having stored it all summer in the space bag and have these items look and smell fresh and clean, as they did when they were first put away.The problem with many space-saving devices on the market is that they use rigid forms that take up even more space than the items they are purportedly keeping out of sight. The utility of space bags and other vacuum-storage solutions is that they create space, rather than creating compartments out of the space you already have. This type of storage works particularly well for winter jackets, down comforters, afghans, sweatshirts, and throw pillows.
