SMART STORAGE TIPS.

FURNITURE

  • Place your furniture on a pallet, cardboard, or plastic sheet on the floor.
  • Keep all upholstered items up off the floor.
  • Stand sofas and mattresses on end.
  • Disassemble beds, tables and other furniture.
  • Wrap the legs of tables, beds and chairs in paper to prevent scratching.
  • Place tables on their tops with legs up on a padded surface.
  • Cover all furniture with dust covers like bed linens or commercially available sheets.
  • Stack boxes on top of dressers, use the drawers for smaller delicate items.
  • Stack lightweight chairs seat-to-seat.

APPLIANCES

  • Ensure your refrigerator or freezer is thoroughly dry and store with the door slightly ajar.
  • Use the space inside the appliances to store small boxes.
  • Ensure that stoves and cooking equipment are thoroughly cleaned before storage.

BICYCLES, TOOLS, OTHER METAL ITEMS

  • Wipe unpainted metal surfaces with a rag containing a few drops of machine oil to prevent rusting.
  • Deflate tires on bikes.
  • Long-handled tools such as rakes, shovels, and hoes should be cleaned, lightly oiled and bundled.

BOOKS, FILES, RECORDS, DOCUMENTS

  • Pack books flat to protect their spines.
  • Place boxes on pallets or skids to prevent moisture absorption from the concrete floors.
  • Fill any empty pockets with packing material such as bubble padding, or other packing material.
  • Avoid packing books and fragile items together.
  • Do not overload your boxes or cartons.

DISHES, GLASSWARE, DELICATE ITEMS

  • Line the bottom and top of all boxes containing glassware with a thick layer of packing material.
  • Wrap all items individually - don't scrimp on time or material.
  • Place heavier items, like plates and bowls, at the bottom of boxes and light items, like glasses and cups, at the top.
  • Fill all empty pockets with packing material.
  • Nest cups, bowls; stand plates, saucers and platters on edge.
  • Ensure all boxes containing dishes and glassware are labeled "fragile" and are placed at the top of heavier boxed items.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT

  • All electrical items should be thoroughly cleaned and dry before storage.
  • If the equipment has sealed door(s), store with door(s) ajar.
  • If items have removable batteries, remove the batteries and store separately.

LAMPS, ART PRINTS

  • Disassemble whenever possible, and wrap the bases of lamps in padded material.
  • Place smaller lamps in boxes and pack delicate lampshades separately.
  • Avoid using newsprint to wrap lampshades – or any other goods that may be stained by ink.
  • Wrap large prints in thick packing material and store in a sealed bag.
  • Pack smaller prints on edge, in sealed boxes.
