Moving into a new home only to discover that the furniture became scratched, torn sometimes even broken in storage put a serious damper on the excitement of the new home. Rick Runnels, owner of River Road Mini Storage in Paso Robles, has some guidelines to help protect furniture while it's in storage.
A few basics are:
- Plan where things are going to be in the storage unit: Planning where things are going to be in the storage unit gives you a head start on how organized the storage unit is when it's full. Furniture should be some of the first items in the unit because lighter furniture and packed boxes can sit on top.
- Have packing tape, some boxes, and bubble wrap on hand.
- Clean upholstered furniture and oil wood furniture: Clean upholstered furniture by thoroughly vacuuming and removing spots. Oiling wood furniture helps prevent the wood from drying out.
- Disassemble furniture when possible to make more room in the unit. Removing legs from tables, for example, makes the tables easier to store. Wrap removed articles in bubble wrap, tape closed so the bubble wrap is nice and tight. Store hardware in baggies, marked for the furniture it belongs to. Pack all of the baggies of hardware in a labeled packing box.
- Cover furniture using moving blankets, mattress covers, or thick blankets. Covers protect against tears and scratches that might happen while moving in or out of the storage unit. Cover and tape anything with glass such as curio cabinets.
The Paso Robles self-storage professionals also offer other practical tips such as:
Moving is stressful but being organized and safeguarding property in storage can help reduce the stress. Allowing plenty of time and doing a little every day instead of a weekend marathon makes life a little easier.
