Planning to store your belongings for a while? A few simple steps now can save you from costly damage later. 📦
Here are three expert tips from the Happy2Move team:
✅ Use breathable packing materials
If you’re storing fabric furniture, avoid wrapping it in plastic for long periods. Plastic can trap moisture, causing furniture to sweat and potentially develop mould. Instead, use breathable materials such as furniture covers or paper wrapping.
✅ Never store damp appliances
Before putting away kettles, washing machines, fridges, or any other appliances, make sure they’re completely clean and dry. Even a small amount of moisture can lead to mould, mildew, and unpleasant odours over time.
✅ Label everything and keep an inventory
You’ll thank yourself later! Clearly label your boxes and keep a simple inventory of what’s in storage, making it much easier to find what you need months down the line.
