Storage Tips

Dishes and glasses should be wrapped in newspaper, dishcloths or bubble wrap and packed in sturdy boxes with cushioned tops and bottoms.
Furniture with drawers can be utilized as storage places for knick-knacks, china, silverware and other small items. Wrap them in your tablecloths, towels or blankets.
Boxes should be stacked on 2’x4′ boards or pallets to prevent dampness damage (concrete floors can become cold and damp).
Plan you storage space. Place those items you may need to get to more often in front.
Use uniformly sized boxes for easy stacking. Boxes can be purchased from us or you can pick them up free at many grocery stores.
List contents of boxes on all four sides; number the boxes; seal them with masking or packaging tape.
Pictures and mirrors should be wrapped in cardboard or paper pad, marked “FRAGILE” and stacked on end.
Large appliances make excellent “packing cases” for blankets, towels and clothing.
Tables with removable legs should be broken down to save space.
Sofas and love seats can be stored on end to save floor space (tie hide-a-beds closed). Always place a protective cover under the end that rests on the floor. Cushions should be wrapped in plastic and placed on top.
Cover stuffed furniture with cardboard, plastic or old bedding to protect against dust.
Mattresses should be propped up so they stand straight to prevent them from bending out of shape, and should be covered to protect against dust.
