Furniture
Furniture is one of the most commonly store items, and for good reasons. If you’re running low on space or downsizing to a smaller apartment, getting rid of your furniture is an easy way to clear up some room for dining and activities. However, furniture is expensive and often hard to come by. Rather than selling or throwing out a perfectly couch, chair, or table, consider keeping it in a storage anchorage ak! Someday, when you purchase a townhome or your roommate moves out, you’ll be glad you did. Offsite Self Storage, located in Layton, Utah, is a secure, professional place to store your belongings. When you store your furniture, be sure to keep a few things in mind:
Place a plastic sheet on the ground beneath the furniture to prevent moisture from accumulating and causing mold
Disassemble large furniture when possible
Wrap corners to prevent scratching/denting (use bubble wrap, towels, or blankets)
Remove lightbulbs from lamps
Use corrugated cardboard to protect glass items such as mirrors
Consider using rodent repellent
Use tables and dressers as boxes when needed
Electronics
Electronics, along with furniture, are frequently kept in storage units for a variety of reasons. Electronics can be expensive and even sentimental.
