Moving & Storage Tips

Fill Boxes

Fill boxes to capacity. Partially full or bulging boxes may collapse or tip over while stored.

Label

Label your cartons and goods. This will make accessing them later much easier.

Books and Documents

Pack books flat to protect spines. Use small boxes to avoid cartons that are too heavy to move easily. Put heavy items on bottom.

Dishes and Glassware

Glass items should be individually wrapped; use blank wrapping paper for best results; "nest' cups and bowls, stand plates and platters; fill air packets with wrapping paper or foam peanuts; don't put breakables under boxes.

Lamps

Pack lamp shades separately; use blank paper to wrap lamp shades and other property that may be damaged by ink stains from regular newsprint.

Mirrors and Windows

Wrap all glass well; store on edge, not flat.

Furniture

Stand sofas and mattresses on end; disassemble beds and tables; wrap legs in wrapping paper; keep upholstery off the floor; place loose, light plastic dust covers or sheets over furniture. 

Appliances and Electronics

Clean appliances thoroughly. Refrigerators and freezers must be defrosted and dry and washing machines completely drained. Take apart lawn mowers and snow blowers, making sure all the fuel is completely drained. 

Clothes

Wardrobe boxes allow you to store your clothing on hangers. Shoes can be stored in the bottom of the wardrobe boxes, while folded clothing cab be stored in boxes or dresser drawers.

Air Circulation

Put pallets or a grid of 2 x 3's on the unit floor to give better air circulation under goods; leave walkway/aisle to the rear of the unit. Don't overpack the unit! 

Bicycles

Wipe a few drops of oil on bicycles and tools to prevent rusting, then store these items away from furniture to avoid oil staining.
