It’s always a fear for movers when they place furniture in storage that it could get dinged, scratched, or broken. It’s one of the most expensive items in a home – of course, you don’t want anything to happen to it. It’s not easy to replace.
If you’re planning on using a portable storage container to store furniture, consider these practical tips from UNITS Moving and Storage of Northeast Ma. We would love to make your life easier and help keep you organized.
Here are a few ways to prevent damage from occurring.
To help prevent a headache in the future, we suggest removing all dirt, grime, and debris from your furniture.
By cleaning before your store, you’re ensuring things such as sticky residues don’t harden and become difficult to clean in the future, ultimately ruining your furniture piece. A quick wipe down with a rag and your favorite cleaner should do the trick. Then you can move on to the next step!
Now that you’ve cleaned the furniture, it’s time to help protect it from scratches and dings. Our containers are made to be as stable as possible, but we still recommend wrapping your furniture with moving blankets or old linens and bedding. And to ensure your mattresses and boxsprings stay free of allergens, you should wrap plastic around them.
The way you store your furniture inside the container can be the difference between safe belongings and damaged goods. For that reason, you should place the heaviest items towards the back, and then place light and soft items on top of them.
By maximizing the space, you can prevent shifting and moving during transport.
And last but not least, you should place the items you need to easily access towards the front of the container. Mattresses work well here and can provide an extra cushion that will aid in preventing damage. It’s convenient and helpful.
