Store most items in boxes, as they’re easy to store, easy to lift, and easily managed.
Empty out the contents of your cupboards & wardrobes. This will protect them from damage.
Add an additional layer of protective paper at the bottom and top of boxes containing crockery or glasses. Wrap them individually, and clearly mark boxes as fragile.
All whitegoods should be dried out and cleaned before storage, and they should be stored slightly ajar to keep them fresh and free of mould. It’s best not to store anything inside, as they’re fragile and could damage easily.
It’s best to store your electronic equipment in their original boxes. If that’s not possible, they should be stored in a dry space, and clearly marked.
Place books in smaller boxes, as they can get heavy to lift. Don’t store heavy boxes on top of other items. Pack books flat to avoid damage to their spines.
