To Maximize Space

Use Shelving Units

For small or awkward-shaped items, using shelving units can save space while staying organized. ​

Stack According to Weight

Heavy items on the bottom and smaller boxes on top. This will keep your items from being crushed.

Disassemble Large Items

Items such as tables and beds should be taken apart and screws can be kept in a sandwich bag.
​

To Allow Easy Access

Make an Aisle

At some point you may want to reach a box in the back so keeping an aisle will help you navigate later.

Label Every Box

Labeling and keeping contents of the same type together will help you locate items.

Use Furniture Sliders

Putting furniture sliders underneath heavy items such as couches can make a huge difference.
​

To Avoid Damage

Bubble Wrap Breakables

Reusable and transparent in case you need to see what's inside. ​

Fill Up Boxes

Fill up boxes to prevent internal shifting and item breakage.

Place Mattresses Flat

Otherwise the padding will shift to one side over time.

To Keep Out Pests

Use Dryer Sheets

You can use dryer sheets in the corners of your unit to cover smells, but we recommend changing them every 30 days.
​

Avoid Plastic Bags

Not only are plastic bags thin and easily penetrated, but they also lock in moisture which can lead to mold.

Storing A Vaccuum?

Make sure the vacuum bag is completely empty. Accidentally storing old food may bring unwanted guests.
