• Dishes and glasses should be wrapped in paper or bubble wrap before storing

• Garden equipment should be cleaned before storing

• Wrap table legs with bubble wrap before storing

• Place heavy or bulky items in the unit first to provide a good stacking base

• To maximize space stack similar sized boxes together

• Do not place heavy items on sofas or mattresses

• Always place a protective cover over your soft furnishings

• Stack chairs seat to seat with cloth or paper to separate them

• Leave refrigerator or freezer doors open for ventilation
