STORAGE TIPS

DO
  • Elevate your items using pallets, plywood, or boards to keep them off the floor.
  • Maximize your space by planning your layout ahead of time and leaving a center aisle for easy access.
  • Use freestanding shelves to stay organized.
  • Label boxes clearly on multiple sides and keep an inventory list for quick reference. Pack boxes fully, but keep them manageable; heavier items on the bottom, lighter ones on top.
  • Store frequently used items near the front of your unit.
  • Protect belongings with moving blankets, sheets, or covers.
  • Check on your unit periodically to ensure everything stays in good condition.
  • Disassemble large items like furniture to save space, and keep all hardware labeled in bags.
  • Organize cords for electronics with color labels for easy reassembly.
  • Clean and dry appliances thoroughly, leaving doors slightly open to prevent mildew.
  • Store furniture efficiently - stand couches on end, stack chairs, and use drawers or appliances for smaller items.
  • Keep mattresses upright, wrapped, and elevated.
  • Store mirrors, artwork, and books properly to prevent damage.
  • Lightly oil metal items to prevent rust and clean equipment before storage.
  • Carefully wrap fragile items with bubble wrap or paper and label boxes clearly.
  • Use wardrobe boxes for clothing to maintain shape.
  • Consider insurance to protect your stored belongings.
  • Use durable storage bins for easy stacking and added protection.
  • Keep valuable items toward the back of your unit.
  • Store seasonal items where they’re easy to access.
  • Stay aware of your surroundings and report anything unusual to management.

DON’T
  • Avoid using plastic covers, as they can trap moisture.
  • Do not store food, as it can attract pests.
  • Don’t overload boxes to the point they’re difficult to carry.
  • Don’t assume your homeowners or renters insurance covers stored items. Verify or purchase coverage.
  • Never share your gate code or access information with unauthorized individuals.
  • Avoid using newspaper for wrapping, as ink may transfer.
  • Don’t store appliances without cleaning them first.
  • Never store hazardous, flammable, or toxic materials such as gasoline, oil, or paint.
