Storage Tips
• Leave a walkway to the rear of the unit.
• Disassemble bed frames to save space.
• Place frequently used items close to the door.
• Fill your boxes, but don’t over fill —partially full or bulging boxes may tip or collapse.
• Store couches (except sofa beds) on end to save space.
• Place fragile items near the top of the unit to prevent breakage.
• Label your cartons and keep a list of the labeled cartons. (Get labels in our office.)
• Consider shelving to make maximum use of your space.
• Adding bay leaves to boxes will discourage many pests and pets.
• Clean refrigerators and freezers before storing
• Leave refrigerator and freezer doors slightly ajar.
• Use refrigerator and freezer space for storage.
• Wrap mirrors and pictures with paper pads or use mirror boxes. Never store flat.
Packing Tips
• Use high quality moving and storage boxes.
• For easier lifting, pack books and heavy objects in smaller boxes.
• Hanging your clothes in wardrobe boxes will keep them in good condition.
• Use the same size boxes for easy stacking.
• Fill boxes completely to prevent collapsing when stacked.
• Stuff open spaces with newsprint.
• Seal boxes completely with packing tape to keep out dust.
• Label all boxes and wardrobes and make a list.
