We have been in the storage business for over a decade and wanted to share the best tips we have learned over the years.
All fabric items need to be covered in a storage unit. This will keep them clean and looking new. We sell mattress covers and sofa covers for a great price. If you have large pieces to cover we suggest using painters plastic drop cloths available at all the large home improvement stores.
The large plastic containers you find at Target or Walmart are great for clothing. Over time cardboard falls apart and attracts bugs, using a plastic container will keep your clothes clean. To keep the bugs out place a few dryer sheets between the clothes. The dryer sheet will keep your clothes smelling good and bug free.
Place heavy things low and stack on top of them. Stack dryers on top of washers, flip loveseats onto sofas. Place items you may want access to; important papers, TV, movies, kitchen utensils, table and chairs, close to the front of the unit. Pack large boxes light and small boxes heavy. Leave some space so you can get to the back of the unit if necessary. Be careful not to place items too close to the door, over time they can shit and keep the door from rolling up.
Once you close the door and put the lock on the manager can no longer see inside of your unit. Inspect the condition of the unit frequently and alert the manager immediately for repairs.
Bugs lay eggs in cardboard boxes. When your done moving get rid of your boxes.
