Transporting and storing furniture is high on the list of stress-inducing activities.\u00a0 In addition to being heavy and burdensome to rearrange, furniture is a significant purchase and most people want to ensure that it stays in good condition.

Clean furniture before storing.<\/b><\/p>\n

Using appropriate cleaning solutions to address any spills, grime or dirt on furniture is important before you store it in a portable storage container. This will keep stains from becoming set and harder to remove. After your furniture has air-dried, wipe off dust or dirt to ensure it’s as clean as possible before storage.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wrap your furniture to avoid dings and dents.<\/b><\/p>\n

While our portable storage units are designed to ensure maximum stability and security, wrapping your furniture in moving blankets, old linens or blankets will ensure that you avoid scratches or other potential damage. Box springs and mattresses should be covered in plastic to ensure they remain clean and free from allergens.<\/span><\/p>\n

Store your furniture tactically.<\/b><\/p>\n

Furniture storage may seem daunting but with a little foresight, organizing each piece properly is a breeze. The back wall of the unity should be stacked with heavy items that you can place other items on. Lighter and softer items should be placed on top to properly utilize the space. It is important to try to fill all the empty space \u2013 whether it’s on top or under a table \u2013 as this prevents items from shifting while in transit. Lastly and perhaps most importantly, keep your essential items like mattresses towards the front so that they are easily accessible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
