Proper preparation and packing is the key to ensuring that your furniture retains its finish, shape and beauty until you wish to enjoy it in your home again. Use our tips and years of experience to prepare and protect your beds, sofas, tables and other furniture items during their stay in storage.
When possible, disassemble beds and wooden tables before storing. After cleaning
with a gentle soap and water solution, apply a coat of wax to protect the finish
(antique items should be seen by a professional appraiser). Take all screws,
nuts and bolts and place in a clear plastic bag affixed to the bed frame. Wrap a
quilt around headboards and tabletops to prevent scratching or denting.
End table and dresser drawers make great boxes during storage. Remove the
drawers and use them to store odds and ends. Place a towel over the contents of
each drawer to keep dust off of the items and act as a buffer between stacked
drawers. Remove the light bulbs and shades from lamps (when possible) and wrap
lamps in towels, bubble wrap or newspaper. Shades can be stacked together and
placed in one large box.
Fabric sofas, chairs and mattresses should be cleaned as well as possible to
prevent mould and mildew growth during storage. Gently wipe the surface with an
antibacterial cleanser and warm water solution and allow to air dry. Leather or
delicate fabric furniture should be professionally cleaned before storage.
Padded covers add an extra element of protection and are very useful with sofas
that have wooden arms or embellishments.
Mark a masking tape “X” on glass tabletops and mirrors to prevent shattering.
Fasten a sheet of corrugated cardboard cut to size on each side of the glass
item for added protection. Computers should be stored in their original boxes
with cords, speakers, modems, microphones and other accessories individually
wrapped. Televisions, especially LCD’s and flat screens, must be stored in their
original packaging and moved carefully. Fill any empty spaces in your boxes with
packing so each one will sit square in the storage unit without collapsing from
the weight of boxes stacked on top of it.
Polish your metal items to prevent oxidation which would tarnish the finish. If
you are storing your furniture for an extended period of time, applying a light
coat of lacquer will protect your bronze or copper lamps, table legs and
decorative items.
