Apply these recommendations before storing your things in the storage units to prevent any unexpected eventuality.
Inventory
Make a detailed list of everything you are going to store. This will help you keep control and backup in case of unforeseen events.
Proper packing
Use strong boxes, strong packing tape and bubble wrap for fragile objects.
Avoid using old or weak boxes that can break when moving them.
Protect against humidity and dust
- Place anti-humidity bags or absorbents.
- Use plastic covers or blankets on furniture, mattresses and clothes.
Electronics and appliances
Disconnect and clean well before storing electronic devices. Store cables separately and label them for easy identification.
Furniture
When storing, disassemble tables, beds or shelves to maximize useful space. Remember to reinforce corners and edges before each piece of furniture with cardboard or foam to guarantee its protection and avoid damage.
Smart organization
Always place the heaviest items at the bottom and the most fragile on top. Try to leave a central aisle to be able to enter and take things out easily.
Protect your storage unit
Limit access to your storage unit exclusively to you or people you fully trust. Sharing your access card with third parties significantly increases the risk of loss or theft of your valuable objects.
