FURNITURE STORAGE 101: TIPS FOR LONG-TERM PRESERVATION

By Élise Beudet • 13 Mar, 2024

When it comes to storing your furniture for the long haul, a bit of strategic planning goes a long way. Whether you're downsizing, moving house, or just seeking extra space, Flexible Storage is here to guide you through Furniture Storage 101. Our specialised self-storage solutions ensure your furniture remains in top-notch condition, ready to come back home whenever the need arises. Clean and Prep Before bidding farewell to your beloved furniture, embark on a thorough cleaning mission. Dust and debris can settle during storage, potentially causing damage over time. Take the time to use appropriate cleaners for different materials—wood polish, fabric cleaner, or metal polish—and make sure everything is completely dry before putting it away. This initial step sets the stage for safe long-term storage. Disassemble Smartly For items that can be disassembled, such as tables and bed frames, take advantage of the space-saving benefits. Disassembling not only saves space but also reduces the risk of damage during transport and storage. Ensure to keep all screws and bolts organised in labelled bags, providing a foolproof plan for stress-free reassembly when the time comes to retrieve your furniture. Quality Packing Materials Investing in high-quality packing materials is a small expense compared to the potential damage your furniture might face. Wrap items in furniture blankets or bubble wrap to provide an extra layer of protection against scratches and dings. Consider using specialised furniture covers for items like sofas and chairs, protecting them from dust and potential stains. The peace of mind that comes with knowing your furniture is well-protected is priceless! Storing Conditions Matter Wood and upholstery are particularly sensitive to extreme temperatures and humidity. Opt for an airtight, watertight and fireproof storage unit, like the ones at Flexible Storage, to mitigate the risk of warping, mould, or mildew. Elevate Furniture Keep your furniture off the ground by using pallets or boards. This precaution prevents potential moisture damage and makes it easier to clean the storage unit when needed. Regular Check-Ins Unless you have chosen the long-term storage option, it is essential to maintain an active presence. Schedule periodic visits every few months to check on your furniture. This proactive approach allows you to identify and address any issues promptly before they escalate. At Flexible Storage, we encourage our clients to stay engaged with their stored items, providing easy access for regular check-ins to ensure everything is in order. Labelling System Create a labelling system for your storage boxes and furniture parts. A clear and organised approach makes retrieval a breeze, saving you time and effort when you're ready to reclaim your items. Insurance for Peace of Mind Consider insurance coverage for your stored furniture. While Flexible Storage takes every precaution to ensure security, having insurance provides an added layer of peace of mind in unforeseen circumstances. At Flexible Storage, we understand the importance of preserving your furniture for the long term.
