Storage Tips

Use high-quality packing boxes designed especially for the job.
You can buy boxes and packing supplies at any of our convenient facilities.
Pack books and heavy objects in smaller boxes for easier lifting. When storing clothes, use wardrobe boxes so you can hang your garments.
Using same size boxes makes stacking easier.
Fill boxes completely. Use newspapers, Styrofoam “peanuts” or wrapping bubbles to prevent boxes from collapsing.
Seal boxes completely with packing tape to keep out dust.
Keep refrigerator and freezer doors slightly ajar and clean before storing.
Store items you’ll need most often at the front of your unit.
Utilize shelving to maximize space. Leave a center aisle for easy access to all items.
Disassemble beds, tables and shelves and store on their sides.
Wrap and mark all pieces for easier re-assembly.
Label boxes on several sides for easy locating. Wrap mirrors and pictures with paper pads or mirror boxes. Store on edge.
Never store these items flat.
Protect mattresses and furniture with pads and cover.
Store couches (except sofa beds) on end to maximize space.
Store light chairs inverted seat-to-seat.
Metal objects, like tools and bikes, should be wiped with a rag containing machine oil to prevent rust.
Stack boxes on dressers and use drawers to store delicate items.
