If you’re using a portable storage container to store furniture, you may be concerned about damage during transport. And that’s totally understandable; furniture can be one of the most expensive items in a home – of course, you don’t want anything to happen to it.<\/span><\/p>\n

UNITS Moving and Storage Durham<\/span><\/a> is here to offer some practical tips that will help keep your furniture damage-free while in storage.<\/span><\/p>\n

Clean and Dust<\/b><\/h2>\n

The first step you will want to take to prep your furniture for storage is to clean them. You need to remove any dirt, grime, or sticky residue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By doing so, you’re ensuring nothing will become caked on while it’s stored away, making it hard to remove later. It’s a great way to help keep your furniture looking pristine.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your favorite cleaner and a rag should get the job done.<\/span><\/p>\n

Protect and Wrap<\/b><\/h2>\n

After cleaning the furniture, you will want to start taking preemptive measures to avoid dings, scratches, and broken glass.<\/span><\/p>\n

We recommend using materials such as moving blankets and old linens in bedding to wrap your furniture. That will help prevent damage during the transport phase.<\/span><\/p>\n

You should also consider covering your mattresses and boxsprings with plastic. That will help keep allergens from setting into the fabric and fibers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Strategic Placement<\/b><\/h2>\n

The way you place the furniture in the container matters. It won’t only help protect your belongings, it will also allow you to get the most out of your container.<\/span><\/p>\n

We suggest starting by putting heavier and studier pieces towards the back, and then placing lighter and softer items on top. That will help prevent shifting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Anytime you see a space or gap, it’s best to place an item there. The less movement during transport, the safer your belongings will be.<\/span><\/p>\n

And lastly, you will want to place the items you want to access easily towards the front of the container. Mattresses are a good option, as they can help add cushion to the container and prevent scratches on your furniture.<\/span><\/p>\n
