- Use furniture drawers to hold delicate items, wrapped in bubble wrap or newspaper.
- Fill boxes completely so they won’t collapse when stacked. Shifting is your enemy.
- Don’t store anything combustible like paint or chemicals or perishables like food.
- When storing tools or garden equipment, drain fluid to avoid corrosion.
- Shovels, hoes, and rakes store well in trash cans.
- Cover all goods with plastic to protect from dust.
- Don’t store items in sealed plastic bags; humidity can cause mildew.
- Use specially constructed boxes to store heirlooms.
- Store furniture on boards or pallets.
- Cover mattresses and store flat on a level surface.
- Store pots and pans inside the stove or refrigerator.
- Remove table legs.
- Store large items like tabletops and sofas on end to save space.
- Use protective covers and treat wood surfaces before storing.
- Maintain a record of contents of boxes and label each box with a coding that matches your list. Keep the description on the box vague.
- Use aisles so boxes are easily seen and accessible.
- We do not assume liability for your belongings. We suggest that you contact your insurance agent since many renter’s and homeowner’s policies will cover your possessions.
