Your Guide to Storage with Noosa Storage Centre |
Time & Money Savers
- Use Standard Removal Cartons for your kitchenware and linen. Book cartons for books, cd's, wine and heavy items.
- Pack a #1 carton for all the things you will need first in your new home ie: bed legs, wardrobe keys, tea, coffee and kettle, TV remote controls, screwdriver etc.
Fragile Kitchen Ware
- Pack fragile items with plenty of scrunch paper, ensuring the carton is full to the top. Mark the carton fragile for top loading.
- Use packing paper and not news print to avoid washing each item when unpacking.
Soft Furnishings
- Include mothballs or naphthalene when packing linen and clothing for storage this will deter silver fish and cockroaches. The use of portable wardrobes will reduce ironing when you unpack.
- Vacuum food crumbs from lounges and furniture, paying special attention to under lounge seat cushions as any crumbs will attact vermin.
- Place your mattresses and (non-leather) lounges in heavy duty plastic covers to keep them clean and fresh. Treat leather lounges and cover with cotton covers.
Entertainment Equipment
- Prepare your equipment by removing all cords and cables (mark the cable and socket for easy reconnection). Pack all components in dust proof bags and stack into cartons surrounded by scrunch paper.
- TV's and computer monitors are heavier on the screen side. If placing them in a carton mark the glass side very clearly to assist with handling.
- Plasma TV's must not have any pressure on the screen, so if you don't have the original carton and packing, speak to us about a custom built crate.
Whitegoods
- Thoroughly clean and dry fridges and freezers including drip trays. Place a Zorb moisture absorber inside the appliance to maintain freshness and store with the door open.
- Do not store anything in your whitegoods as they may mark the shelves and linings.
- Empty water out of washing machine hoses, disconnect and place in machine for safe keeping.
- Remove your microwave plate and pack it on its edge in a fragile carton.
