Morgan Self Storage Tips for Protecting Your Goods
Use these helpful tips for protecting household furnishings during transport and storage. We carry a full line of packing and moving supplies including boxes, tape, blankets, bubble wrap and locks to secure your unit.
Furniture
• Use plastic sheeting or a pallet between furniture and floor of unit.
• Disassemble all furniture if possible, and cover.
• Wrap table legs with packing paper to help prevent scratches.
• Stack chairs seat-to-seat with cloth or paper to separate.
• Place assembled tables top down on floor with legs pointing up.
• Avoid stacking or leaning furniture against walls.
Metal
• To avoid staining, do not store next to exposed items.
• Wipe metal items like bicycles and tools with a few drops of oil to help prevent rust.
Fragile Items
• Wrap items separately before storing in dish-pack box.
• Pack paper onto bottom and empty spaces in cartons.
• Label clearly and visibly as fragile.
Books and Paper Goods
• Use file boxes when possible.
• Pack books flat and use extra paper to stop shifting.
• Books are heavy - use smaller boxes.
Large Appliances
• Use valuable storage space inside appliances for smaller items.
• Clean and dry refrigerators/freezers thoroughly to prevent mildew; leave doors slightly ajar.
Clothing
• Use wardrobe boxes with built in rods to hang your clothes and save their shape.
