Storage Tips
Leave a walkway for easy access.
Store larger pieces of furniture and infrequently used items in the rear.
Make a list numbering and labeling all boxes and their contents, keep the list at home or taped to the side of the unit wall.
Drain washers and remove refrigerator and freezer doors to reduce mildew.
Disassemble furniture to conserve space. Keep the hardware in a plastic bag taped to the piece.
Store mirrors, pictures and glass items wrapped and on edge or in special boxes.
Cover mattresses and upholstered furniture to prevent dust build-up.
Shrink wrap and paper pads are very useful and keep your items clean and scratch free.
