Great Ideas For the Safe Packing and Storage of Your Valuable Possessions
Top 5 Tips to Get You Started
- Leave a walkway to the rear of the unit.
- Fill containers to capacity. Half full or overfull, bulging
containers may collapse or tip over.
- Place frequently needed items to the front of the unit.
- Place pallets on the floor to help provide air circulation.
- Label all your boxes and take home a master list.
More Storage Tips:
- RECORDS: Records should be stored on edge to prevent warping.
With record players be sure to secure the turntable and
tone arm.
- BOOKS: Be sure to pack all books flat so their spines
are protected.
- WINDOWS AND MIRRORS: Always store on edges, never leave
them flat.
- APPLIANCES: Clean and dry thoroughly and store with door
ajar or slightly open for air circulation.
- LAMPS: Pack delicate lamp shades separately. Be sure not
to use newsprint as this may leave ink stains.
- TOOLS: All metal tools should be treated to prevent rust
and cleaned. Long handled items like rakes and hoes should
be tied together in bundles.
- FURNITURE: Stand most sofas and mattresses on end. Keep
upholstery off the floor. Always place dust covers over
your furniture. Be sure to wrap all legs from furniture
in paper.
- BOXES: Always store boxes on pallets and tables, never
on concrete floors.
