Leave a path to the rear of the unit. Place frequently used items near the front.

Shelves

Since screws, nails or hanging anything on the walls is prohibited, use freestanding shelves.

Wrap and Cover

Use clean towels and sheets to wrap or cover items. Avoid using plastic as it can accumulate moisture and may cause mildew damage.

 Clean Before You Store

Clean all furniture, appliances, and clothing prior to storing them. Pack clothes loosely and cover furniture with clean sheets.

Storing Vehicles
Cars, motorcycles and riding lawnmowers etc. should be full of stabilized fuel prior to storing. Disconnect and remove battery. (Do not place on concrete floor - it will lose it's charge.)

Storing Appliances

Appliances must be thoroughly clean and dry. Keep freezer and refrigerator doors slightly open by saving some empty paper towel cardboard rollers. Repeat this with the freezer door as well.

Storing Mattresses

Store mattresses and box springs on long edges. Wrap with cloth for protection. Elevate off the concrete floor and up on skids. (We have these available free of charge.)

Storing Boxes

Try to use the same size boxes to make stacking easier and elevate off the concrete floor and up on skids. (We have these available free of charge.)

Glass and Mirrors

Store mirrors, glass table tops, and any flat glass in a sturdy crate on edge, not flat. If no crate is available, wrap glass separately in blankets or place heavy cardboard between each piece and place between mattresses.

Tools

Bundle long handled tools and tie together. Do not store brooms on their bristles.

Protect Metal Surfaces

When storing metal in non A/C space, wipe all surfaces with a cloth containing a few drops of mineral oil. Do not over indulge -- a little oil goes a long way.

Prohibited Items

Storage of food, plants, or other items that may attract insects or pests is prohibited.

Storage of fragrant items or other aromatics or anything that causes an odor is prohibited.

Storage of flammable, hazardous, pressurized, or toxic materials and liquids or aerosols that may spill or burst are prohibited. Drain oil and gas from all machines, small or large, prior to storage.
