Whether you are transitioning to a new home or need to get rid of some of your current furniture to make room for new pieces, keeping your furniture properly stored is an important step in maintaining the condition of these pieces. Follow these storage tips from Safeguard Self Storage to correctly prepare your furniture for Chicago, IL self storage.
Preparing Furniture for Storage
Preparation is the most important step of storing your furniture. If it is possible to disassemble the pieces that you will be storing, it is best to do so. This makes it easier to move them, and each piece will be easier to cover for storage purposes.
Clean each piece thoroughly with mild soap, making sure that furniture is completely dry before being moved to storage. Some wood pieces also require a coating of wax in order to protect the piece, but be sure to determine the type of wood and finish before choosing the appropriate type of wax to use.
Upholstered items can be cleaned with a handheld shampooer. As with wooden furniture, be sure that the entire piece is dry before moving it to storage.
The Importance of Furniture Covers
Furniture covers keep your pieces protected from dirt and dust to ensure that they will remain just as clean and pristine as they were the day you placed them in Chicago, IL storage units. Use cloth covers to maintain a breathable surface and prevent damage.
Finding the Best Unit for Furniture Storage
The delicate nature of furniture means that choosing the right Chicago, IL storage units is a must.

Plush or upholstered furniture should also be stored in climate controlled storage units, as high humidity has the potential to cause molding in these materials.

These policies can protect your belongings should something unexpected happen while the items are in storage.
