Storage Tips
„ Store frequently used items in the front of the unit.
„ Store mattresses and box springs on long edges. Wrap for protection and elevate off of floor for circulation. Pallets are a great way to keep items off of floor.
„ Use drawers in furniture to store fragile items. Wrap items in towels, washcloths, blankets, etc. to help prevent breaking.
„ When stacking boxes, keep the heavy ones on the bottom and lighter ones on top.
„ Pictures and mirrors should be stored upright - never flat.
„ Break down furniture, whenever possible. Mark pieces well and put them in aŹdrawer for easier assembly.
„ Store rakes, shovels, hoses, etc. in empty garbage cans.
„ Empty gas from lawn mowers and weed wackers before storing.
„ Store couches (except sofa-beds) on end to maximize space.
„ Wrap mirrors and pictures with paper pads, or use mirror boxes. Never store these items flat.
„ Label all boxes on several sides for easy locating.
„ Store small items like pots and pans in large appliances, such as stoves or refrigerators.
„ Use protective covers and treat wood surfaces before storing.
