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.
Bicycles & Metal Items
To retard rust, wipe all metal surfaces with a rag containing a few drops of machine oil.
Books & Documents
Pack books flat to protect the spines. Do not place boxes directly on concrete floor, but use pallets or skids to prevent moisture absorption. Use packing to fill out empty pockets in the boxes. Do not pack fragile items in the same box with books and do not overload.
Bedding, Clothing, Curtains, Drapes & Linens
Clothing, curtains and drapes should be stored on hangers. If hanging cartons are not available, such items should be carefully folded and stored in dresser drawers or cedar chests along with bedding and linens. Food crumbs or stains should be removed before storage, and avoid storing anything that will attract rodents.
For those looking to store their belongings for a longer period of time, Carp Self-Storage offers a lower rate. For more details please feel free to contact us for pricing.
