Appliances

Before storing, clean, dry and remove anything from it. Store all appliances upright with doors ajar to allow
ventilation.

Blankets, Draperies and Clothing

Clean before packing them on hangers in wardrobe boxes.

Books

Pack books flat, not standing on end to protect the spines which will bend and warp over time if stood upright.
Do not pack them with fragile items and since they are heavy, pack them in small boxes.

Breakable Items

Wrap breakable items inside bubble wrap and store with linens.

Dishes and Glassware

Store these items in specially made boxes called dish packs.

Furniture and Tables

Place blankets over them to protect from scratches and dust. Keep furniture items off the floor by placing them
on pallets.

Lawn Mowers

To prevent any fire and explosion, drain gasoline and oil from engines.

Leather Items

Treat leather items with a leather conditioner before storing them.

Mattresses

Place mattresses in plastic slip-on covers to protect them from dust and moisture.

Mirrors and Pictures

Store mirrors and pictures inside similarly-sized knocked down boxes, giving them protection from scratches and
dust.

Photos

Photographs tend to curl over time. Place them between pieces of cardboard and tape them together to keep them
flat. Do not store irreplaceable photos.

Pillows and Toys

Store small items in large plastic garbage bags.
