To Allow Easy Access

Make an Aisle

At some point you may want to reach a box in the back.

Label Every Box

Labeling and keeping contents of the same type together will help you locate items.

Use Furniture Sliders

Putting furniture sliders underneath heavy items such as couches can make a huge difference.

To Maximize Space

Use Shelving Units

For small or awkward-shaped items, using shelving units can save space while staying organized. ​

Stack According to Weight

Heavy items on the bottom and smaller boxes on top.

Disassemble Large Items

Items such as tables and beds should be taken apart and screws can be kept in a sandwich bag.

To Avoid Damage

Bubble Wrap Breakables

Reusable and transparent in case you need to see what's inside. ​

Fill Up Boxes

Fill up boxes to prevent internal shifting and item breakage.

Lay Mattresses Flat

Otherwise the padding will shift to one side over time.

To Keep Out Pests

Use Baits and Traps

You can also use dryer sheets in the corners of your unit, but we recommend changing every 30 days.

Avoid Using Plastic Bags

Putting items in sealed plastic bags may seem like a good idea but it can actually invite mildew.

Storing a Vacuum

Make sure the vacuum bag is completely empty. Accidentally storing old food is sure to bring unwanted guests.
