HELPFUL STORAGE HINTS

- Utilize climate control units for antiques, computers, or virtually any valuable item.

- Label all boxes on several sides for easy location.

- Seal boxes completely with packing tape.

- Pack boxes snuggly to prevent collapse when stacked.

- Leave a center aisle to easily access all items.

- Keep items off the floor to allow air to circulate.

- Place your most valuable items so they are less accessible from the door.

- Use shelving to maximize your storage space.

- Spray furniture with a good polish, and lightly coat exposed metal with oil.

- Leave refrigerator and freezer doors slightly open, and store items inside for extra space.

- Most mattresses and couches should be stored on end.

- Protect mattresses, couches and furniture with pads and covers.

- Wrap mirrors and pictures; never store these items flat.
