Storage Packing Tips for the Spring:

• Gather all your clothes, books, decorations, etc. then separate for donation or keep.
• Stay organized and mark each box with the destination visibly on the outside. When you come next year it may be hard to remember what is in each box or where it should go.
• Break down the bed frame and any other furniture that can be smaller. Conserve space and store your couch on it’s side for optimum storage.
• No one wants to lift a large box that is heavier then expected, so keep heavy items in smaller boxes. Pillows and blankets are lighter, so they can go in the bottom of the dresser drawers or in a large box.
• Clean and dry refrigerators and freezers prior to arriving. This is best done at least 24 hours prior to storing.
• Maybe hiring a moving company is the way to go. Talk with our store manager for convenient local movers.
• Fill in gaps within boxes with clothes or towels.
