Storage Tips

The use of cartons, bubble wrap, paper, tape and plastic covers is recpommended for the protection of your items in transit and in storage.

---

Furniture

• Don’t move wardrobes, drawers etc while full, you can break them. Only fill them when they are in place and fully assembled.
• Clothing and personal goods should be packed in strong secure cartons.
• Cushions should be wrapped in plastic.
• Where possible remove the legs and casters from items of furniture e.g. bed bases, tables etc. to avoid damage and save space.
• Vacuum food crumbs from lounges to prevent attracting vermin.
• Furniture shouldn't be placed directly on the floor, use plastic or material to cushion heavy items.
• Stack chairs seat to seat with cloth or paper separating them.
• Place a cover over all furniture, especially lounges, recliners and anything of value.

Whitegoods

• Ensure all whitegoods (fridges, freezers etc) are empty, clean and dry before storing to prevent moisture and mildew.
• Leave doors slightly ajar to prevent mould build up.
• A deodoriser placed inside fridges or freezers is also a good idea to maintain freshness.
• Don’t pack items inside your whitegoods, as you may scratch the insides or damage the shelving.

Glass and Breakables

• Wrap all breakable items separately in tissue, packing or butchers paper, box and ensure they are marked "Fragile".
• Pack breakables in sturdy boxes.
• Protect fragile items by wrapping them individually in proper packing paper (newsprint can be very messy and possibly stain).
• Place packing in the top and bottom of cartons for added protection.
• Place plates, saucers and bowls on their sides to prevent any breakage.
• Empty space should be filled with packing paper.
• Ensure you haven't stacked heavy items on top of cartons containing breakables.
• Pictures and mirrors should be wrapped in cardboard or packed in purpose-made picture/mirror cartons.

Electronic Items

• The original boxes are ideal to repack in.
• If the original boxes are not available talk to us about speciality boxes for electronic items.
• Ensure all electronic equipment is clean and dry before storing.
• Ensure that items above or on top of electronic equipment will not fall down or damage the surfaces.

---

Metal Items

• To minimise rust in metal items such as tools, wipe the item with a few drops of oil before storing them away.
• Pack these items away from goods that may be stained such as furniture.
• Wrapping silver in NON ACID tissue paper or plastic bags can help reduce tarnishing.
• Wipe chrome or cast iron with a little machine oil to help retard rust.
