Storing your belonging becomes very easy when you use mobile self-storage. And you don’t even have to worry about making multiple trips to the storage facility as the box will be dropped off at your home at your convenience and picked up in the same way.

It is important

That you sort through your items to select what you need and don’t need when choosing what goes in the Ezebox. Any items that you feel like you are not using can be donated or recycled. There may even be items that you can sell. Sorting the items and de-cluttering can help reduce the number of items that go in the box which will allow you to choose a smaller size. And as you are paying for only what you use, you can save more money. You should know how to prepare the items properly when storing them in the box.

You can also ask the company about what instructions they have for safe storage. When packing items, you need to make sure that everything is clean and dry. You need to remove any dirt or dust on the item. And if there are stains, you can check how to remove stains safely without damaging the material. Cleaning the items will help keep your items in good condition. And when you make sure they are completely dry, you can prevent the growth of mould or mildew during storage.        

If you are storing furniture that you don’t use at the moment

Make sure that you disassemble the parts before placing them inside the box. You can take shelves and cabinets out when possible and remove table legs. This makes it possible to store more items in the box. And it allows you to pack the furniture item safely. All the joinery such as bolts, screws etc. should be kept in a labelled bag and taped to the furniture item so that you don’t lose it.

Disassembling the furniture prevents possible damage during transport and storage as well. You need to use the right packing materials for the items. If you are packing fragile items, they should be packed in bubble wrap or packing paper. There has to be sufficient cushioning around them to prevent breakage. When storing large items, you can use mattress protectors, plastic wrap and furniture covers. Make sure the corners of the furniture items are protected.

It is important to maintain an inventory and to label each box

This will help you keep track of the items and it makes accessing them easy as well. And you need to label if there are any fragile items so that the staff members handling it understands to use care. Make the maximum use of the storage unit by placing the heavier items at the bottom. The lighter items can be at the top.

There will be empty spaces between items but to prevent them from getting jostled, you can fill these spaces using packing paper or towels. If there is space inside drawers or furniture, you can also store small items within them so that you can pack more items inside the storage box.
