About to make the move but are overwhelmed with where to start? Budget Storage Group compiled a list of some helpful tips to make your move as easy as possible!
- Label all boxes on several sides for easy location of items
- Seal boxes completely with packing tape to keep out dust, pests, and insects
- Pack boxes snugly to prevent collapse when stacked
- Leave a center aisle to easily access all items within your unit
- Keep items off the floor to allow air to circulate
- Place your most valuable items so they are less accessible from the door
- Use shelving to maximize your storage space
- Spray furniture with a good polish, and lightly coat exposed metal with oil
- Leave refrigerator and freezer doors slightly ajar. Store items inside for extra storage space
- Most mattresses and couches, except for sofa beds, should be stored on end
- Protect mattresses, sofas, and furniture with pads and covers
- Wrap mirrors and pictures, never store these items flat
