• Furniture
• Dont move wardrobes, drawers etc while full, you
  can break them. Only fill them when they are in
  place and fully assembled.
• Clothing and personal goods should be packed in
  strong secure cartons.
• Cushions should be wrapped in plastic.
• Where possible remove the legs from items of
  furniture e.g.. bed bases, tables etc. to avoid
  damage and save space.
• Vacuum food crumbs from lounges to prevent
  attracting vermin.
• Furniture shouldn't be placed directly on the
  floor, use plastic or material to cushion heavy
  items.
• Stack chairs seat to seat with cloth or paper
  separating them.
• Place a cover over all furniture, especially
  sofa's, recliners and anything of value.

• White goods
• Make sure all white goods (fridges, freezers etc)
  are empty, clean and dry before storing.
• Leave doors slightly ajar to prevent mould build
  up.
• A deodorizer placed inside fridges or freezers is
  also a good idea to maintain freshness.
• If you pack items inside your fridges and
  freezers you scratch the insides or damage the
  shelving, best to leave them empty.
• Glass and Breakables
• Wrap all breakable items separately in tissue or
  packing paper, box and ensure they are marked
  "Fragile".
• Pack breakables in sturdy boxes.
• Protect fragile items by wrapping them
  individually in packing paper (newsprint can be
  very messy and possibly stain).
• Place packing in the top and bottom of cartons
  for added protection.
• Place plates, saucers and bowls on their sides to
  prevent any breakage.
• Empty space should be filled with packing paper.
• Ensure you haven't stacked heavy items on top of
  cartons containing breakables.
• Pictures and mirrors should be wrapped in
  cardboard or proper picture/mirror cartons.

• Electronic Items
• he original boxes are ideal to repack in.
• If the original boxes are not available talk to
  your self storage centre about specialty boxes
  for electronic items.
• Ensure all electronic equipment is clean and dry
  before storing.
• Ensure that items above or on top of electronic
  equipment will not fall down or damage the
  surfaces.
• If storing a refrigerator or freezer, be sure
  that the item is thoroughly dry and clean to
  prevent moisture and mildew from damaging any of
  your valuables. Store with the door slightly
  ajar.
• Metal Items
• To minimize rust in metal items such as tools,
  wipe the item with a few drops of oil before
  storing them away.
• Pack these items away from goods that may be
  stained such as furniture.

  plastic bags can help reduce tarnishing. Wipe
  chrome or cast iron with a little machine oil to
  help retard rust.
