[QUOTE="research, post: 9464219, member: 22667"]Is it safe to store vintage clothing, textiles etc. in clear plastic bins? I have clear, polypropylene Sterlite containers that I store some vintage textiles in (some canvas bags and some wool/cotton quilts). They are stored in a dark, climate controlled space. The bags are laid flat in the bins with acid free tissue paper between each. So realistically, only the edges of the bags could possible touch the plastic bin. I've read that polypropylene is inert and archival safe but just curious if I'm missing anything. Thanks![/QUOTE]
