Before you store furniture in a portable storage container, make sure you address any spills, grime, or dirt – otherwise, they will set and become even harder to remove. Wipe off dust and dirt and use appropriate cleaning solutions. Then, after your furniture has air-dried, wrap it in protective blankets.
While our portable storage units are designed to ensure maximum stability and security, wrapping your furniture in moving blankets will ensure that you avoid scratches or other potential damage. Old linens and blankets work, as well. Box springs and mattresses should be covered in plastic to ensure they remain clean and free from allergens.
With a little foresight, organizing your furniture storage is easy. Generally, you will want to line the back wall with heavy items that you can place other items on. Place lighter and softer items on top to make the best use of your space. In fact, wherever there is empty space – whether on top or, say, under a table – try to fill it, as this helps prevent items from shifting. Last but not least, keep your most important furniture (like your mattress) towards the front and easily accessible.
We hope these tips help as you store your furniture. Whether you are moving or simply need the extra space, call UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage of Northern New Jersey at (973) 554-3431 or contact us online to book your container today!
