Storage Tips and Tricks

Organization is key when it comes to a good storage system. Things will remain safe and be easy to find. Here are a few tips and ideas for properly storing items.

 

Glassware and dishes

Place layers of packing paper between plates. Don’t over pack fragile boxes and make sure to label them fragile. Wrap wine glasses in socks to keep them from clinking together during transport.

 

Appliances

Clean out your appliances and make sure they are dry before closing them again to avoid any stale smells. Wrap cords up neatly and tape them to the back of a larger appliance.

Holiday Decor and lights

Wrap fragile and delicate ornaments and decor in tissue. Wrap lights into a ball, starting with the female end on the inside of your ball ending with the male end on the outside of the ball. Never untangle your Christmas lights again!

 

Furniture

Use stretch wrap to secure doors on cabinets and drawers during transport. Place dryer sheets inside to leave a fresh and clean sent.

Tools and equipment

Put a bit of oil on metal tools or chains to prevent rust. WD-40 or silicon spray work great for this. Drain fuel from engines.

 

Other

Place heavy items at the bottom and lighter items at the top. Never over pack or over stack a pile. Label your boxes, even if it is with a marker and some masking tape. Store items on pallets or shelving to allow for airflow within your storage unit.
