Useful Storage Tips in Penticton

Thinking of keeping your useful items safe in a storage unit? It’s quite important to store your belongings according to their size, texture and weight to keep them safe and organized. Here are some handy storage tips that you should follow whenever keeping your things in a storage facility:

To prevent scratches, wrap your computer monitors in a soft blanket or towel. If you still have the new box, pack them inside.
All clothing items should be cleaned before packing. You can also consider vacuum sealing them, which compresses the fibres. This lengthens their lifespan, conserves space, and shields garments from dust.
Items should be placed in separate boxes according to their rooms. For instance, pack your kitchenware in a box with a label that says "Kitchen". Move each box to its designated room when it's time to unpack to save time and energy.
To avoid attracting pests and foul odours, thoroughly clean everything, especially curtains, before packing. You won't have to wash your clothing, mattresses and covers again, which will save you time when you unpack in your new house.
The door should be left slightly ajar if you're storing cleaned appliances. Rust can be avoided by applying a thin layer of machine oil to metal surfaces.
Doing the workplace move-out? Arrange all of your documents flat inside the boxes. Office chairs and other furniture should be covered in thick plastic to keep them clean. In between uses, we thoroughly clean every storage unit.
Dishware and other fragile objects should be wrapped in bubble wrap with a fragile label on top.
