  • Traveling abroad and needing to store household items safely
  • Required to store personal items for seasonal purposes such as winter clothing, woolens or equipment
  • Collectible furniture or appliances could be taking up space in your home, and you want to store it

Methods for Preparing Items for Long-Term Storage

1. Clean and Completely Dry All Items

Before storing your items, be sure they are completely clean and dry. Mold is attracted to moisture and dirty items. Dirt, mud, and leftovers can attract other pests. As previously stated, follow the manufacturer's cleaning and drying guidelines as necessary. Thoroughly clean and completely dry the item before packing it away.
 

2. Do NOT Use Plastic Bags

While they are great for transporting items, plastic bags can retain moisture. This can cause mold since it traps moisture. In addition, goods can be damaged because the plastic shrinks and sticks to the goods. For safe and well-ventilated storage, use cardboard boxes or fabric where possible instead of plastic bags.
 

3. Clearly Label the Boxes

Before putting any boxes into your storage unit, remember to label each box with their contents. Labeling boxes can prevent headaches when trying to find a very specific box many years down the road.
 

4. Keep an Inventory

Once you have put your items in boxes, keep an inventory of everything you stored in your storage unit.    You will be glad you did. 
 

5. Properly Seal the Boxes

Don't skimp on the tape. Use quality packing tape and be as tight as you can when sealing boxes. If boxes are poorly sealed, dirt and dust can get in and damage your belongings.
 

6. Cover Furniture

If you can, cover your pieces of solid wood, leather, or any furniture made of cloth with TROCKED sheets.   This will keep the dirt off your pieces, and in some cases, protect them while in long-term storage.
