Our managers are knowledgeable and experienced with packing, and can advise

you as to the best methods and materials for your belongings.

 

Bedding, clothing, curtains and linens: 

 

Clothing, curtains, and drapes should be stored on hangers.  Avoid storing

anything that will attract rodents.

 

Books: 

 

For ease in moving, pack with 1.5 cubic foot containers or less.  Place books

flat to protect their spines.  Do not pack fragile items in the same box as books.

 

Furniture: 

 

Spray furniture with a good polish before storing.  Stand sofas and mattresses

on end.  Dissassemble all furniture.  Use dresser tops for stacking items and

the drawers for small items.  Keep upholstery off the floor.  Never store heavy

objects on top of upholstery.

 

Glassware and dishes: 

 

Wrap all glassware and dishes properly.  Place a layer of packing material on

bottom of box and top of items once packed.  Dishware should be stacked on

edge.  Use glass packing inserts for glasses.

 

Lamps:  

 

Pack lampshades separately, and do not use newsprint or inked papers to

wrap them.

 

Mirrors / Paintings: 

 

Always use special packing material, and always store on the edges, never flat.

 

Tools:  

 

To stop rust, wipe metal objects with cleaning oil before packing.  Long-

handled tools should be tied in bundles.

 

Washing machines: 

 

Brace the spinning mounted motor with the tub.  Seal up

the ends of the hoses in case of leaks.

 

Other Helpful Hints:

  •    Label all boxes on each side and keep a list of what is in each box

             according to its label.  Keep the list available both inside the unit

 

             and at your home.

 

  •    Use a good quality padlock on your storage unit.

 

  •    Do not store combustible or flammable material.

 

  •    Be sure to insure your personal property.  Ask our managers to see

               an insurance policy at our competitive rates.
