Storage Tips
- Use furniture drawers for delicate items and specially wrap and
label them as "FRAGILE". Bubble wrap and packing paper are excellent for
these purposes.
- When packing toys or smaller objects, remember to fill boxes
completely, stuffing open areas with plain newspaper to prevent
collapsing when stacked.
- Be careful not to store anything combustible, (such as paint and
chemicals), or perishable, (such as food that is not permanently
sealed).
- When storing lawn and garden equipment, drain any fluids prior to
storage to avoid corrosive damage.
- Use trash cans to store shovels, hoes and rakes. Always use high
quality locks on your unit. Locks are available for sale—just ask your
site manager for a recommendation.
- When storing delicate heirlooms, use specially constructed boxes,
such as wardrobe boxes, and utilize dehumidifiers to prevent mildew
build up. Remember to label these boxes "FRAGILE".
- Store furniture carefully on boards or pallets.
- Mattresses should be covered and stored flat on level surfaces.
- Larger appliances, such as stoves or refrigerators, provide
additional space for storing towels, blankets, etc.
- Break down items such as table legs, and store tabletops and sofas
on end, to save space.
- Use protective covers and treat wood surfaces before storing.
- When storing business files and inventory, label all boxes and
construct aisles so files are easily seen and accessible.
