Specific Storage
Tips
- Appliances: A refrigerator or freezer should
be thoroughly dry and stored with its door slightly ajar. Some goods can
be stored inside large appliances and boxes can be stacked on top of
stoves, refrigerators, and freezers. Make sure that stoves and cooking
equipment are cleaned before they are stored.
- Furniture: Place a pallet, corrugated
cardboard mat, or plastic sheet on the floor and stand sofas and
mattresses on end. Disassemble beds and tables and wrap table legs in
paper. If a table will not disassemble, place padding on the floor and
place the table on its top with the legs pointing up. Use dresser tops
for stacking cartons and dresser drawers for linens or small, delicate
items. Keep upholstery off the floor. Most lightweight chairs can be
stacked "seat to seat" or placed upside down on tables which
cannot be disassembled. Finally, place a light cotton (e.g. bed sheet)
dust cover on your furniture.
- Mirrors, Windows and Screens: these items
should be stored on edge, not flat.
Helpful Storage
Tips
- Fill containers to capacity; partially full
or bulging cartons may tip or collapse. Heavy items like
books or tools should be packed in small
boxes so they are easy to lift. Protect your fragile goods
with packing (e.g. bubble-pack), and
place them near the top of your storage space.
- Label boxes. Take
home a list of the labeled boxes for easy reference when you need to
locate
your goods.
- Pack the storage
space carefully. Leave air space around the perimeter to aid
ventilation. Place a
pallet on concrete floors and do not lean
items against walls. Leave a walkway to the rear of your
space for easy access. Use all the space
available, including the height. Place frequently used
goods near the door.
