Storage Tips
These are some of the tips for you when storing your goods to prevent damage, and for storing your goods safely.
- Use good quality boxes
- Wardrobe crates or boxes will allow you to store your clothes on hangars, to prevent creasing or marking of the material
- Label your boxes, so they are easy to find, for eg, Kitchen Bedroom and so on
- Heavier goods should be packed in crates or smaller boxes so that they are easier to handle.
- Garden equipment should be cleaned before storage.
- Do not overfill your boxes or crates, this will prevent boxes splitting or becoming awkward to lift.
- Always wrap your fragile items in bubble wrap, and mark your box or crate with "Fragile" so that it is handled with care.
- Make an inventory of your goods, and keep it in a safe place.
- Plan your storage space, the least used items at the back and the most used items to the front for easy access.
- Place your heavy crates or boxes at the bottom of your stacking, for a solid base and easier to handle upon removal.
- Keep the heavy items off your tables, chairs, sofas etc to prevent damage if stored over a long period
- Always use the plastic covers over your soft or fabric furnishings such as matresses or sofas.
