Storage Tips

Use all available space, even vertical space.

Make sure all boxes are labeled clearly.

Keep items that you frequently use near the door.

Leave a walkway for easy access to your unit.

All glass items should be individually wrapped and packed in boxes.

A refrigerator should be dry when stored and the door should be left slightly open to prevent odor and mildew.

When you store books or documents, make sure that you place the box on top of a pallet to prevent moisture from gathering on the bottom of the box and ruining your paper items.
