The items you shouldn’t be storing in the attic

We've all heard of Cash in the Attic, but is that really the best place to store your valuables? Probably not, according to Consumer Editor at Good Housekeeping Sara Benwell, who told 5 live’s Anna Foster how you may need to rethink if you use your attic to store furniture or wedding dresses.

“Because of the variations in heat what quite often happens is the wood expands and cracks, so your furniture ends up getting ruined.â€

“Attics are havens for moths so if you put wedding dresses up there they can get at them, and also heat is not great for wedding dresses.â€
