Storage Tips

Storage tips to get the most for your space.

Where to Put Things
Put items you’ll use most often near the front of your unit.  Place breakable items away from the center aisle. Put televisions, VCRs, stereos and other valuables near the rear of your unit.

Furniture
Disassemble your furniture, if possible (including beds). Or store it top down on the floor, with the legs Wrapped and pointing up.  Cover all furniture and place on pallets.  Try not to stack or lean furniture against outside walls.

Large Appliances
Clean your appliances before you store them.  Keep refrigerator and freezer doors slightly open.  There’s also plenty of available storage space inside your large appliances.

Clothing
Wardrobe boxes keep your clothes neat and clean. Shoes can be conveniently stored on the bottom of wardrobes.  Other clothes can be packed in smaller boxes or placed in dresser drawers.

Breakables
Dish-pack boxes are your best bet for delicate items such as china and glass. Wrap each item separately and be sure to pack paper in the top, bottom and empty spaces.  Mirrors and pictures should be wrapped with paper pads or placed in special boxes.

Garage Items
To avoid rust on tools and bicycles, wipe on a few drops of oil before packing.  Avoid storing next to furniture.  Fold or remove handles of garden equipment  and always drain fuel completely.
