Storing furniture properly is essential to keeping it in great shape, especially when it’s not in everyday use. From preparing each piece for storage to choosing the right facility, taking the time to store furniture with care can save you from unnecessary damage and costly repairs. At Acorn Mini Storage, we understand the importance of proper furniture storage and maintaining your belongings in a safe, secure, and clean environment.
Before moving your furniture into storage, it’s important to clean every piece thoroughly. Dust, dirt, and moisture can cause long-term damage, so use appropriate cleaning products for each material. Wooden pieces should be polished, metal items wiped down, and upholstered pieces vacuumed to remove debris. Cleaning not only protects your furniture but also prevents pests from being attracted to the storage unit.
Disassembling large items is a smart way to maximize your storage space. Remove legs from tables, disassemble bed frames, and take apart any modular furniture. Keep screws, bolts, and small parts in labeled bags so you can easily reassemble the pieces when needed. Wrap fragile parts and furniture surfaces in protective materials such as blankets, bubble wrap, or furniture pads to prevent scratches or dents during transport and storage.
When placing items in storage, avoid stacking heavy pieces on top of delicate ones. Use shelving or pallets to keep furniture off the ground, protecting it from potential moisture. Cover each item with a breathable fabric to prevent dust accumulation while allowing air circulation. Avoid using plastic coverings directly on furniture, as they can trap moisture and cause mold or mildew.
