How to Store Festive Decor After Diwali: Pack It Right, Open It Ready
What you do in November decides how Diwali looks next year.
The festival is over, the guests have left, and the decor is still up. The temptation is to stuff it in a bag. Ten minutes of care now saves an hour of frustration next year.
This is general guidance. Always follow any care instructions on the product page.
Pushp Vatika Floral Rangoli Mats Set of 9
1. Mats
Clean the floor side gently, make sure they are completely dry, and roll or lay them flat. Do not fold along hard creases. Sets like Pushp Vatika can be stacked in a box.
2. Torans and tassels
Wrap each string around a piece of cardboard or a tube so tassels do not tangle. Gota Tikki Torans and Felt Triangle Tassels store well this way.
3. Backdrops and curtains
Fold loosely or roll, with tissue between folds if you have it. Keep them away from damp. The Marigold Curtain and White Flower Panel store well rolled.
4. Lamps and lights
Remove batteries from LED lamps and empty water diyas such as Haathi Deepam. Wrap glass pieces like Crystal Cube Candles individually.
The label rule
Label each box with what is inside and where each set goes. In 11 months you will not remember.
