Self Storage- Packaging

Renting out a self storage unit is hardly enough, there are a lot of things you need to be mindful of. Packaging is one such element that needs to be mastered, in order to increase the durability and safety of your things.

* Appliances

If you are planning to store appliances, such as fridges and refrigerators, make sure you clean and defrost them. Be extra careful of leaving no morsels of food behind, it might attract pests and various types of bacteria might feed on it. To make the best use of limited space, you can store small boxes inside your fridge or oven. However, do make sure to keep the door ajar- an adequate amount of air flow is essential for durability.

* Metal-Made Materials

The best way to store metals is to make sure that they are dry enough, before storing them. You should also visit the self storage facility occasionally and lubricate all your metallic items. This would avoid them from rusting or eroding.

* Furniture

Chesapeake Self Storage Units are designed to fit a variety of items, from appliances to furniture. It is best to store wooden furniture atop wooden legs, so that you protect it from severe climatic conditions. It is best to disassemble your bed posts and shelves, before you store them against the wall. In the case of mattresses, cover them with fabric sheets, not plastic ones.

* Books and Papers

Never store too many books in one carton, make sure to distribute the weight and store them in separate cartons. Do not make the mistake of storing fragile things with books and avoid stacking them on top of the other, otherwise they might stumble over and fall.

* Dishes and Glassware

The best way to store dishes is to store them in their original packaging. Make sure you use bubble wrap to wrap glassware and store it securely.
