Vacuum Storage Bags: A simple way to make space for what matters most.

For out-of-season-clothing, extra linens or guest-bedding, vacuum storage bags are an ideal storage solution when space is at a premium. Inexpensive and easy to use, these bags reduce bulk by 75%. All you need is a household vacuum cleaner with a hose. Just lay the items flat in a jumbo or large storage bag; use your vacuum cleaner to evacuate the air and stack the bags as desired. Vacuum bags have an air and watertight seal that keeps out moths, dirt, moisture, and mildew; musty odors; and discoloration.

Tip: For added freshness, add a fabric softener sheet to the bag before shrinking.
