When not in use, proper storage is crucial to maintain the condition of bamboo woven products. Store them in a cool, dry place with adequate air circulation to prevent moisture buildup. Avoid storing them in areas prone to temperature fluctuations or extreme conditions. If storing items for an extended period, consider wrapping them in acid-free tissue paper or cloth to protect against dust and potential damage.
