Benefits Of Vacuum Storage Bags
Vacuum storage bags are one of the best ways to store clothes, bedding, and other textiles. They are suitable for both long-term storage and travel. They work by compressing the contents of the bag, either through the use of a vacuum cleaner or handheld pump. This makes them ideal for people who have limited storage space.
Using a vacuum storage bag allows you to bring along more clothes on your next vacation, without having to worry about paying for additional pieces of luggage. Most clothing, bedding, and textiles can be compressed down to a fraction of their original size by vacuum storage bags. This means you'll be able to fit more clothes into your current luggage, instead of stepping up to the next larger size. Since airlines rarely take the time to weigh carry-ons, compressing your clothes with a vacuum storage bag and shoving it into your carry-on is often a great way to bypass overweight baggage fees, as well.
When it comes to long-term storage, even if space isn't a limitation, it is often important to protect your clothes and bedding from potentially harmful elements. Sheets, blankets, jackets, and other clothing can often pick up an unpleasant scent when stored in the attic for an extended period of time. They are also susceptible to damage from clothes moths and other pests. Vacuum storage bags act like a barrier to keep out pests and unpleasant odors. They also act as a barrier against mildew, mold, moisture, and dust. There really is no better way to keep stored clothing and bedding in optimal condition in between uses.
Tips For Using Vacuum Storage Bags
Using vacuum storage bags is pretty easy, and most will find the operation self-explanatory. As easy as they may be though, there are a few simple tips that can help ensure you get the maximum protection for your clothing and textiles. One of the most important things to remember is that anything put inside of one of these bags must be completely dry. If any of your clothing or bedding is even the slightest bit damp, it significantly increases the risk of mold or mildew growing inside of the bag. This will not only affect the damp article, but everything else stored inside of the same bag. You should also take care to only store clean clothes and bedding. Putting unwashed materials inside of a vacuum storage bag and leaving them inside for a long period of time can magnify unpleasant smells. It will also cause everything else inside the same bag to pick up a similar odor.
When packing away your clothes and other items, make sure you are using the correct size bag. One of the main causes of vacuum storage bag failure is over packing. It is better to use a bag that is slightly larger than you need, than one that is slightly too small. Do not pack your clothes right up to the zipper closure, either. Always leave a couple of extra centimeters between your clothes or blankets and the zipper. It is almost impossible for any zippered bag to keep out air completely and indefinitely. This means that pretty much all vacuum storage bags will slowly let air leak in over time. Having a few centimeters between your clothing and the zipper allows for a plastic to plastic seal right next to the zipper. This helps to improve the vacuum and minimize the amount of air that leaks into it.
As you are vacuuming the air out of your bag, continuously pat down the areas further away from the suction valve. This helps to ensure that little pockets of air don't get trapped anywhere. It also helps the sealed bag achieve a more uniform shape, which tends to make storing it easier. If you find that your clothes have moved a little too close to the zipper when sucking the air out, unzip the bag and move them. Since your have just vacuumed out all of the air, you will most likely find that your items fit inside of the bag a little bit better. After readjusting your clothes and other textiles, reseal the bag and vacuum out all of the air once again.
As a general rule of thumb, you should never put hard or sharp objects inside of vacuum storage bags, as this will often cause tears or punctures during the vacuuming process, transport, or storage. If you must store a hard or sharp object inside one of these bags, always put it between many layers of clothing, blankets, towels, or other soft materials.

VISION
Our vision is to help build a better community by forming trusting relationships and creating an iconic experience that reinforces in our customers minds that there is a strong point of difference when supporting smaller, local, independent businesses. By aligning ourselves with a strong independent buying group like Mitre10, we enabled ourselves to help pave the path of independence for future generations and protect diversity within the consumer market. The hardware industry has invested in many sustainability initiatives to reduce our carbon foot print on our environment already and continues to encourage growth in this area.
History
From our original building, one-third of its current size, through the opening and closing of our sister store in Racecourse Rd Hamilton, the SEQEB power dispute in 1985, the relocation of the horse stables, the outbreak of the Hendra virus in 1994, not to mention the hail storms and floods…. We have survived.
Everything we do and offer comes from decades of experience and ensuring we provide that personal touch. In 1994 Hendra Hardware’s alignment with the Mitre10 group secured a better foundation for the business through superior branding, stronger marketing and increased buying power.
In 2010 the store’s founder Chris Davies mentioned his plans to retire and move on to greener pastures to the property owners – the Pinkey family. Alan Pinkey who opened Pinkey’s Convenience store back in the 1970’s and his son Matthew saw an opportunity to ensure the survival of this local icon and the deal was struck. Since then with Matthew at the helm the store has, and continues to, grow and diversify to meet the expanding needs of the local community as well as strive to ensure the future of the business
