Fridges, freezers, and other large appliances should be thoroughly CLEANED and DRY before storing. While in storage, doors should be secured slightly ajar. Placing a deodoriser inside fridges or freezers is also a good idea to maintain freshness. Don't place items inside fridges or freezers as the shelves and linings can easily be marked or damaged.
VEHICLES
Please empty most gasoline out of the vehicle to reduce the risk of fire. Unhook the battery cables to insure that no draw is draining the battery. Please give the storage consultant the VIN number and proof of insurance. Place a drip pan underneath all vehicles in case of leaks.
FURNITURE
Empty the contents of wardrobes, drawers, and cupboards to protect their shelving and structure. Clothing and personal items should be packed in strong, secure cartons with some cedar, mothballs, or similar product to protect them and maintain their condition. Where possible, remove the legs from items of furniture, e.g. bed frames, tables etc. to avoid damage and save space. Vacuum food crumbs from couches, chairs and other items to prevent attracting small animals.
