Plan cleaning, drying, shape support, repairs, batteries, labels, and storage space so reusable pieces survive the next event.
Quick answer
Foam, latex, silicone, synthetic hair, fabric, paint, electronics, metal, and adhesives require different cleaning and storage. Do not assume one method works across the costume.
Moisture, folding, pressure, heat, and sunlight can damage finishes and structure. Use breathable storage and forms or padding where the product instructions allow.
Label boxes, remove batteries when appropriate, record missing parts, keep repair materials separate, and note what must be replaced before the next event.
