Storing furniture means booking a removalist and making sure your furniture stays in good condition in storage. Keeping the furniture clean and safe is the number one priority. Most people understand that means using protective coverings over the furniture but that’s not the only thing needed to protect your furniture. Booking a good removalist like Men That Move means your furniture is treated carefully and stored safely. We book moving jobs for furniture storage a lot and have the 9 following tips to make your life easier.
When people book a storage unit it is usually for at least a few months, sometimes a couple of years. And it can be easy when it comes to unpacking your unit to forget everything you’re packed. Making an inventory means you don’t need to rely on memory. Especially if you are also storing smaller items along with your larger furniture pieces. Sometimes a storage provider gives you an inventory to take but make your own as well.
Whether it’s moving your furniture into ling term storage or short term storage they need to be protected during the move and in storage. You can get specifically made furniture protective coverings such as plastic for fabric furniture that protects it from mould by absorbing moisture. And coverings for leather and whitegoods should also be used. Ask your removalist if they sell these or the storage company.
Do you need to store your stuff long term or short term? Long term storage often has better rates simply because you are committing to a longer period with the company. Short term storage will have higher rates and it pays to ring around for the best rate. Make sure you know the size of the unit you want as then you are not paying for unused space,
Just as our experienced removalists pack the moving truck to move your items safely you need to plan your storage unit. Have heavy furniture and items at the bottom and fragile/light items at the top. It’s very important not to overfill your unit as this puts pressure on the items and causes damage. Men That Move have plastic eco-friendly boxes that are stackable and great to hire for storage units. They will stack on top of each other and save space whilst protecting the items inside.
Before you book your mover and storage unit make sure your whitegoods are clean and dry. When stored they should have the door taped slightly ajar to prevent odours developing. You can also use desiccant products and even paper towel to absorb excess moisture.
To make sure your furniture is in the best condition and ready to use after storage clean it before moving. If its dirty during its time in storage it may develop mould. Make sure everything is dry before moving and storing as any damp or wet items also encourage mildew and mould to grow. If you are storing furniture with wood any moisture can warp the wood if it’s absorbed.
Storage companies should have available to customers what security they use to keep their items safe. Usual security features include constant CCTV surveillance, electronic entry like swipe cards and high fences around the facility.
