Portable Storage Tips

General

• Always secure a contents protection program.
• Create an inventory list of all items.
• Protect items with moving pads, sheets or light blankets.
• Label boxes or containers on all sides.
• Consider clear plastic containers. Clear plastic containers allow you to see contents.
• Pack lighter boxes on top of heavier ones.
• Do not store any toxins or flammables.
• Do not store any food items.

Furniture

• Apply furniture oil to wooden pieces before storing for added protection.
• Disassemble larger items such as tables, bed frames, etc. to save space.
• Put all hardware in bags and label accordingly.
• Use paper pads when stacking furniture to prevent scratching.

Electronics

• Original boxes for electronics are best. Otherwise packing items separately in bubble wrap, cushion foam, and even wadded up newspaper will help.
• Label corresponding cords and components by using color coded stickers.

Appliances

• Clean appliances well prior to storing.
• Leave doors opened slightly, to prevent mildew.

Pictures and Mirrors

• Wrap pictures that are small and stand them on end in boxes.
• For larger ones, buy special picture moving boxes.
• Always store mirrors or framed pieces on end, not flat.

Crystal, China, and Glassware

• Buy boxes designed for this with dividers.
• Wrap each item with paper or foam.
• Label these boxes as FRAGILE.

Clothing, Curtains, Drapes

• Use special wardrobe boxes or garment bags to hang items.
• Hang items on non-rusting hangers.
• Dresser drawers can be used to save space for storing smaller items.
• If storing wool items, use cedar chips and/or mothballs to prevent moth damage.

On-site storage with PODS
(Remember PODS Containers may be kept on-site at your location, or in one of our Storage Centers)

• If storing your container in a deed-restricted community, review your home-owner association's guidelines for container placement.
