Before you store :
- Make sure your goods are dry and clean before you put them into store. Drain and wipe down freezers, refrigerators and washing machines.
- Pack your property into good quality plastic or cardboard storage boxes. Both can be purchased from Cyprus storage, along with tape and bubble wrap.
- Fill storage boxes to capacity, using soft padding where appropriate. Partially full or bulging boxes may collapse or tip over.
- Pack heavier items like files and books in smaller boxes so they aren’t too heavy.
- Label or number boxes for easy reference and keep an inventory of what you have stored.
- Protect fragile items with bubble wrap and avoid putting heavy items on top.
- Use wardrobe boxes to keep clothes in shape.
- Remove all perishable and inflammable items like food, aerosols, batteries and oil/petrol.
- Dismantle furniture where possible and detach legs from tables and beds to save space.
- Remember, lift heavy items correctly: bend your knees not your back.
Making the most of your space :
- Plan your storage. Put items you may need at the front.
- Remember, you can visit your storage room as often as you want.
- Using our pallets trucks, cages or trolleys if necessary, place heavy bulky items in the room first to create a sturdy base; lighter items on top.
- Position boxes and items of similar size together to minimise wastage of space.
- Leave space for access to the rear of the room.
- Place dust sheets or protective covering over soft furnishings.
- Stand mattresses on end and avoid stacking heavy items on soft furnishings.
- Stack chairs seat to seat.
- Use dust sheets to cover your property and on the floor of the storage room.
- Use furniture covers or dust sheets between surfaces to protect from scratches.
