Storage Tips

Whether you need to pack a few items to put in the attic, send some boxes to a self storage unit to clear the house of clutter or pack everything you own in order to move, you want to do it right. This means packing carefully and thinking ahead. Take a few precautions to help prevent damage and make it easier to find things later. When summer rolls around, you want to be able to find the other half of your wardrobe without having to open and move stacks of boxes that weren’t clearly labeled.

Wrap it up
Jars and glasses should be wrapped in paper and packed in sturdy boxes. Stack them on top.

Fragile
Pictures and mirrors should be wrapped in cardboard, marked “FRAGILE” and stacked on end

Extra Space
Furniture with drawers can be utilized as storage places for pictures, knick-knacks, china, silverware, small items, etc. Wrap them in tablecloths, towels, or blankets to prevent breakage.

Appliances
Larger appliances make excellent “packaging cases” for blankets, towels, tablecloths and clothes.

Electronics
Put TVs and other electronics in the rear of your unit.

Stored Together
Shovels, hoes, rakes, and hoses can be stored together in empty trash cans. Stack extra cans inside each other.

Removable Legs
Tables that have removable legs should be broken down to save space.

Sofas and Loveseats
Sofas and loveseats can be stored on end to save floor space. Wrap cushions in plastic and place on top of sofas

Sharp or Heavy Objects
Avoid placing sharp or heavy objects on top of upholstered furniture.

Stuffed Furniture
Cover stuffed furniture with cardboard or blankets to protect against dust.

Mattresses
If you stand mattresses on their sides, prop them up so they stand straight. Otherwise, they tend to bend out of shape and become lumpy.

Metal Items
Wipe any items made of metal – bikes, metal tables, tools, etc. – with machine oil to prevent rusting
