Preparing Your Furniture for Long-Term Storage
If you’re planning to store your furniture for an extended period, a little preparation will go a long way toward keeping it in top condition. Here are some tips to make sure your sofas, beds, and other pieces come out of storage as good as they went in:
- Clean and Dry Your Furniture: Before storing, give each item a thorough clean. Wipe down hard surfaces and vacuum upholstery to remove dust and crumbs. Make sure everything is completely dry – this helps prevent mould or mildew while in storage.
- Disassemble Larger Items: Take apart bulky furniture pieces if possible (remove table legs, bed frames, etc.). Not only will this make them easier to transport, but it also helps you maximize your storage space. With our convenient drive-up access, loading these items into your unit is simpler and more efficient.
- Protect and Cover: Wrap delicate or scratch-prone items with moving blankets, bubble wrap, or old sheets to protect them. For wooden furniture, consider using furniture pads or covers. You can also stand sofas or mattresses upright (vertically) to save floor space, placing protective material in between to avoid pressure marks.
- Pack Strategically: When filling your storage unit, put heavier boxes or furniture at the bottom and towards the back. Keep items you might need to access sooner near the front. Thanks to the drive-up design of our units, you can organize and rearrange with ease – no long corridor trips or elevators to navigate.
By taking these steps, you’ll ensure your furniture stays in great shape throughout its stay in storage. All our units are treated with Grafotherm, a special anti-condensation coating that prevents dampness and drips, keeping your belongings dry and mould-free. In other words, no need to pack a dehumidifier or worry about surprise puddles. We’ve got it covered!)
