Whether you’re moving or simply need to clear some space, you may be considering placing furniture in a portable storage container. But you may also be concerned about the damage that might occur when you do.<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, there’s no need to worry any longer! <\/span>UNITS Moving and Storage of Jacksonville<\/span><\/a> is here to help with this easy three-step process that will keep your furniture safe and sound.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Remove Any Dirt and Debris<\/b><\/h3>\n

The first thing you want to do to prep your furniture for the container is dust every piece off.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Removing dirt and debris can help keep your furniture looking pristine while they’re stored away. Ensure to remove any stick residues so that they don’t harden while in the container. This step will help make the unloading process easier once you’re ready to take everything out of the container. It’s one less thing you will have to worry about.<\/span><\/p>\n

Padding and Protection<\/b><\/h3>\n

The next protective measure you want to take is wrapping all of your furniture in moving blankets and old linens.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That will help prevent any damage to your furniture, including dings, scratches, and broken pieces. We also advise our customers to put plastic wrap around any mattresses and box springs to keep allergens at bay.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Strategic Placement is Your Friend<\/b><\/h3>\n

And last but not least, when it’s finally time to put your furniture in the container, you want to be strategic about the process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At <\/span>UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Jacksonville FL<\/span><\/a>, we recommend that customers place the heaviest pieces towards the back of the container. Then you should put soft and light items and in-between gaps to prevent shifting during transit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And always remember to put the items you want easy access to in the front of the container. Mattresses make a good option for this spot.<\/span><\/p>\n
