Labeling BoxesBefore putting your things in a box, make a list of the respective items. Make labels for each box referencing the list and attach these labels to all sides of the box, including the top.

AppliancesA refrigerator or freezer should be thoroughly dry and stored with its door slightly ajar. Some goods can be stored inside large appliances and boxes can be stacked on top of stoves, refrigerators and freezers. Make sure that stoves and cooking equipment are cleaned before they are stored.

FurniturePlace a pallet, corrugated cardboard mat, or plastic sheet on the floor and stand sofas and mattresses on end. Disassemble beds and tables and wrap table legs in paper. If a table will not disassemble, place padding on the floor and place the table on its top with the legs pointing up. Use dresser tops for stacking cartons and dresser drawers for linens or small, delicate items. Keep upholstery off the floor. Never wrap anything in plastic or cover furniture with plastic.
Most lightweight chairs can be stacked "seat to seat" or placed upside down on tables that cannot be disassembled. Finally, place a light cotton (e.g. a bedsheet) dust cover on your furniture. Some facilities sell covers for your convenience. |
Mirrors, Windows, Framed Pictures & ScreensThese items should be stored on edge, not flat.
