- Make a list of all the items you need to store and keep in a safe place for future reference.
- Store frequently accessed items at the front of the unit.
- Estimate the replacement value of each item on the list, as this could be useful when insuring your goods.
- Use good quality packaging materials, available from your local hardware store.
- Fill all boxes to provide a sturdy base for stacking.
- Items of clothing can be hung in the room using clothes racks or wardrobe boxes.
- Always pack heavier items into smaller boxes.
- Place lighter items on top of the heavier items.
- Cover mattresses and sofas with plastic covers.
- Wrap delicate items in bubble wrap or another protective packaging.
- Plastic trash bags are not recommended for storing items of clothing as moisture in the fabric gets trapped when the bags are sealed.
- Defrost and dry fridge / freezers before storing and keep the door slightly ajar to prevent condensation.
- Garden equipment, bikes or cars must be thoroughly cleaned and all fuel tanks emptied before storing.
