Storage Tips
We know moving or storing your extra household or business items can be a chore, but we want to make your experience as E-Z as possible. We’ve added some of our tried and true storage tips here for your convenience:
- Invest in good quality sturdy boxes and packing materials – box strength degrades with use
- Buy boxes in similar sizes and shapes to make it easier to stack them in your storage unit
- Fill boxes to capacity wherever possible to avoid breakages but be sure to leave enough room for packing material to protect the contents from damage
- Label all boxes clearly and on more than one side
- Mark ‘Fragile’ on any boxes containing breakable items
- Avoid making your boxes too heavy – remember you’ll have to be able to lift them
- Don’t pack items into sealed plastic bags, as humidity can cause mold and mildew to grow
- Storing wet items can cause water damage, mold, or mildew – be sure to thoroughly dry any items that come in contact with water or were recently washed
- Electrical equipment such as TVs, stereos and computers should be packed in their original boxes wherever possible
- Chairs can be stacked seat to seat to save space
- Don’t store vacuum cleaners with the bag in – bacteria, mold, or mildew can grow in the bag if left for long periods of time
- Treat leather items with a leather conditioner before you store them
- Store your largest and heaviest items first
- Try to assess what you’ll need to access frequently and keep it at the front of your unit
- In medium or larger units, try to leave yourself an aisle to get to your items in the back
- To save space, store smaller items in drawers of furniture or any hollow space
