Storing Furniture

13/3/2017

 
Storing furniture
​1.  Consider waxing wooden furniture before storing.
2.  If stacking furniture, place pads, blankets or towels between them to prevent scratching.
3.  Cover stuffed furnishing such as sofas and mattresses with dust covers.  (Available in our packaging shop.)
4.  Do no wrap or tightly cover furniture in plastic.  If moisture is trapped, mold will occur.  Also, natural products such as leather need to breathe.

1.  Use uniform-size boxes to maximise storage capacity and ease of stacking.
2.  Stack heavier boxes at the bottom.
3.  Don't stack higher than you can comfortably reach.
