STORAGE TIPS
BENEFIT FROM OUR STORAGE TIPS
- Prepare your storage space by covering the floor with pallets or cardboard matting.
- Make sure your refrigerator or freezer is completely dried and stored with its door slightly
- When packing fragile or delicate items, make sure to pad them and mark their boxes accordingly.
GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR STORAGE SPACE
- Place heavy items such as books, records, dishes in small, easy-to-handle boxes. Fill the empty space in the boxes with extra padding.
- Wipe down all metal surfaces with a rag containing a few drops of machine oil (i.e. Bicycles & Tools) to avoid rusting.
- Disassemble your beds and tables. Wrap the legs in paper. If your table cannot be disassembled, place it upside down on a padded floor so you can store things on top of it.
- Pack your stereos, cameras, and other high value items in unmarked boxes towards the back of your storage space.
