Simple Household Storage Tips
- Place all your belongings in a packaging box. To maximise total storage space, stack boxes of similar size no higher than shoulder height
- Do not place heavy or sharp objects on top of upholstered furniture
- Protect mattresses, lounges and chairs with specifically designed plastic covers available at our facilities or online
- Bed mattresses should be covered and stood on their end to maximise space
- To prevent any breakage, place plates, bowls and saucers on their side
- Mark any breakage and delicate items as fragile
- A Port-A-Robe carton is the perfect answer for clothing storage
- Ensure that all electronic appliances are well dry and clean prior to storing
- Store the most fragile items last to prevent breakage
Simple Business & Commercial Storage Tips
