STORAGE TIPS

• Use good quality storage boxes.
• Fill boxes to capacity. Stacks of partially full boxes may collapse.
• Heavy items should be packed into small boxes to make them easier to lift.
• Label boxes for easy reference when you need to locate your goods.
• Use large boxes for light items and smaller boxes for heavier items.
• Small boxes are suggested for books, which should be packed flat to protect their spines.
• Stacking uniform size boxes helps maximize your available space. Don't stack higher than you can comfortably reach.
• Place heavy items in the room first to provide a good stacking base.
• Utilize large items for extra storage space. For example, refrigerators, freezers and washing machines are perfect for storing soft items such as linens, towels and blankets. Wedge doors open to prevent mildew.
• Protect your fragile goods in bubble wrap. Wrap dishes and glassware individually and pad the box with packing paper or bubble wrap.
• Take special care when packing mirrors and framed pictures. Mirror packs or strong cardboard help prevent damage.
• Allow for proper ventilation by not packing items right up against the walls.
• Keep your frequently used items where you can easily reach them. The two things people most frequently return for are clothes and files. You should label these things and keep them towards the front of your unit.
• Protect furniture, including mattresses and box springs, with plastic covers, and stand on end.
• Garden equipment should be cleaned before storing.
• Make an inventory of your stored items and keep it in a safe place at home. Number your boxes and keep a list of the contents in your inventory rather than on the outside of the box.
