These are just a few hints to make packing and storing your belongings a little easier :
- Fill boxes to capacity for easier stacking and to prevent them from collapsing, and put the heavier ones on the bottom. Avoid stacking boxes too high.
- Label your boxes thoroughly and keep items you may need to access frequently near the door.
- The use of shelving helps you get more use out of your space. If possible leave a narrow walkway down the centre for easier access, and air space around the perimeter to allow for ventilation.
- Do not put screws or nails in walls or hang anything from or across walls
- Store mirrors and paintings on end, not flat
- Mattress and sofa covers are always recommended to prevent moisture build up or dust from collecting. Be sure to stand mattresses straight up so they maintain their shape. Sofas can be stored on end to take up less space.
- Storing food, perishables, combustibles, dangerous goods and firearms is prohibited. If you are unsure of what goods are acceptable to store, please ask us.
- Appliances must be thoroughly clean and dry. Keep freezer and refrigerator doors slightly ajar. Remove vacuum cleaner bags and cover openings.
- To preserve metal, wipe surfaces with a cloth containing a few drops of machine oil.
- Make up an inventory of your stored items and keep it in a safe place for future reference.
