Serving West Islip, Bay Shore, Babylon & all of Suffolk County's South Shore — trusted local garment care since 2003.
Running out of closet space every fall? You're not alone. At Oak Neck Cleaners in West Islip, NY, we offer professional winter garment storage services that take the guesswork, and the clutter, out of seasonal wardrobe transitions. We don't just store your clothing; we clean it first, ensuring that stains, odors, and allergens don't permanently set into the fabric while it sits in storage. Your coats, wool sweaters, cashmere, and cold-weather gear are then stored in our climate-controlled facility, protected from humidity, pests, temperature swings, and light damage. When the cold weather returns, your winter wardrobe comes back freshly pressed and ready to wear, without a trip to the dry cleaner first.

How Our Winter Garment Storage Works
- Schedule a Pickup or Drop Off — Contact us online or call 631-422-4339 to arrange a free pickup from your home in West Islip, Bay Shore, Babylon, or the surrounding area. Prefer to drop off? Visit us at 945 Montauk Highway, West Islip.
- Professional Cleaning First — Before a single item goes into storage, every garment is professionally cleaned by our team. This step is critical: stored soils and stains can permanently bond to fabric fibers for months, so we never store dirty garments.
- Inspection & Minor Repairs — Each item is individually inspected for stains, loose buttons, minor damage, or anything that needs attention. We flag any issues and can perform basic repairs before storage.
- Climate-Controlled Storage — Your cleaned and inspected garments are carefully stored in our climate-controlled facility, protected from humidity, temperature fluctuations, moths, and light exposure that can fade and degrade fabric.
- Return Delivery When You're Ready — When the season turns, and you want your wardrobe back, just give us a call or go online. We'll deliver your garments freshly pressed and ready to wear, right back to your door.
Why Shouldn't You Just Store Winter Clothes at Home?
Storing winter clothing in a plastic bin, vacuum bag, or standard closet seems convenient, but it can do real damage to expensive fabrics over time. Here's what most people don't realize:
- Unseen stains set permanently — Invisible food and body oils oxidize during storage, turning into yellow or brown stains that professional cleaning cannot fully reverse after 6+ months.
- Moths and pests target natural fibers — Wool, cashmere, silk, and fur are all at risk from moth larvae, which are attracted to body oils left in unwashed garments.
- Humidity causes mold and mildew — Even in a clean home, humidity fluctuations can cause mold or mildew growth on packed clothing, especially wool and thick knits.
- Plastic bags trap moisture — Common vacuum storage bags don't breathe, creating a moisture environment that degrades fibers and causes yellowing in light-colored fabrics.
- Cedar and mothballs aren't enough — Cedar loses its potency within months, and mothballs contain chemicals that can leave lasting odors in fabric and are toxic to pets and children.
Professional garment storage solves all of these problems. At Oak Neck Cleaners, garments are cleaned before storage to remove oils and residues, stored in breathable protective coverings in a climate-controlled environment, and returned to you in better condition than when they arrived.
