At Best Value Storage we endeavour to make your storage experience hassle-free and hope your mind is at rest while we guard over your valuable possessions. Here are some helpful hints for better storage:
- Plan your storage space. Place those items you may need access to the front and allow for walkways
- Make up an inventory of your stored items and keep in a safe place elsewhere
- Stack lighter boxes on top of heavier ones
- Spray furniture with a good polish. Cover with drop clothes
- Do not store food items unless in sealed containers
- Defrost refrigerators and leave the door open, place deodorizer inside
- List contents of boxes on all sides, number and seal with tape
- Wrap mattresses in plastic or paper and do not set directly on the concrete floor
- Keep all items off the floor if possible to let air underneath
- To avoid moth damage it is advisable to liberally use mothballs or similar product
- Wrap picture and mirrors in cardboard, mark fragile
- Large appliances can be used as “packing cases” for blankets, towels, clothes etc
- Shovels, rakes, hoses etc can be stored together in empty rubbish bins
- Tables with removable legs should be “broken down” to save space
- Do not place heavy or sharp objects on top of upholstered furniture
- Even though management take precautions against mice these can enter in with other tenants’ belongings. It is therefore advisable to place rodent control balls inside your storage unit
