Prepping Items for Self Storage

MILWAUKEE, WI – October 14, 2013 - After locating a clean, safe and quality Milwaukee public self storage facility, you are then left with the task of preparing your personal or business items for storage.

The following is a list of preparation tips to consider prior to moving your items to a unit at a Milwaukee affordable self storage facility:

·         Choose High Quality Storage Materials. When packing up belongings, many renters of Milwaukee public self storage units immediately head to their basements or garages in search of old boxes and trash bags. While these items can be reused, it is a much better idea to invest in new, higher quality storage materials to prevent unnecessary damage to belongings. New cardboard boxes and large Tupperware containers are sturdier, making them a much better choice for moving and stacking in a unit. Also consider purchasing vacuum sealed bags for items, such as clothing and bedding, as they take up significantly less space.

·         Properly Fill Boxes. Improperly filled boxes, both under packed and over packed, create very weak surface areas, which are bad for stacking in Milwaukee mini self storage and other sized units. To decrease the risk of damage to your items, use your best judgment to fill boxes to the appropriate height. If you have heavier items, such as books, it is wise to pack them in smaller boxes to avoid injury during the moving process. It is recommended that you keep each box under 30 lbs.

·         Clean Appliances. Appliances, such as those in the kitchen or laundry room, should be wiped clean and drained prior to moving them into a Milwaukee public self storage facility. It is also recommended that you keep the doors of all appliances opened for the duration of storage to prevent the growth of bacteria and mold. Additionally, be sure to secure all moving parts with material, such as bubble wrap or cloth, to prevent breakage.

·         Wrap and Treat Furniture. Furniture is highly prone to damage if not properly prepared for storage at a Milwaukee public self storage facility. To protect your expensive investments, make sure to wrap each piece with slipcovers, sheets, blankets or other soft materials. Pay special attention to furniture with legs, such as tables or chairs, wrapping each leg with bubble wrap. It is also a great idea to treat furniture made of materials, such as leather or wood, prior to storage at a Milwaukee affordable storage facility to ensure that it maintains its condition.

Employing the above tips will help to significantly reduce the risk of damage to items, creating a very pleasant storage experience at your chosen Milwaukee public self storage facility.
