You can get those bags in Woolworths.

Won't there be a problem with condensation inside them though?

you can put dried orange peel in with your folded jumpers to keep moths away.

I have never had any problems with condensation - I do open them relatively regularly and get pieces out and add others in etc.

If everything is dry before you put it in I don't see it would cause a problem?

If you've got a sealed plastic bag, condensation could form on the inside because of the differences in air temperature with the inside and outside of the bag - this can cause mildew especially in those plastic clothes covers. However, since the bags are vacuum sealed, its possible that there won't be enough air inside for this to happen. Just something to be aware of.

hadn't thought of that, thanks austin.

good point - didn't realise that that was possible - will make sure it doesn't happen to my bed linen. That could be an expensive mistake!

Merry Christmas!

it happened with some curtains i wrapped in polythene a few years ago, they were minging when i took them out. :-X

I've just bought some of those bags and put my summer shirts in them - will keep an eye on them for mildew!

judging by the weather today - you're going to be able to run your test for a significant period of time! ;D
