Size Chart – Storage Hints And Tips

Appliances

Refrigerators or freezers need to be empty and dry, stored with the door slightly open. Also, make sure to clean stoves and cooking equipment before storing.

Clothing

The best way to store clothes is in a plastic container with an easy-to-open lid. This method will help protect them. Hanging racks also are common. If you are using this method, it is best hang them in zipper bags.

Furniture

When storing furniture, be sure to take protective measures. Cover upholstered furniture with a bed sheet. This will protect it from dust. Also, don’t store upholstered furniture directly on the concrete floor. Instead, place a plastic sheet or piece of cardboard under it. Use padding or fabric when stacking furniture to keep the wood from scratching.
