The attic can be a great storage space for Christmas decorations or memorabilia from the high school years, the family’s heirlooms, furniture, and even seasonal clothing. Every attic has a maximum capacity; additional storage is not more an alternative when attained. Experts do not recommend storing certain things for more than one or two weeks, but not months or years. Bed linen, clothing, stuffed animals, mattresses, and box springs are only several examples. These items do not only turn into clutter over a few weeks and months, but they also are a breeding ground for pests, like mice, rats, or bed bugs. They also harbor dust mites and spiders.
