Storing Appliances and Electronics – What to Remember
Finding quality self storage in Florida can be a complicated process. Thankfully, the team at Store Self Storage is always available to answer your questions. Especially in large-scale storage operations, classifying your items beforehand can be very helpful.
Large appliances are one of the most important things to store, whether you’re in the middle of a big move or simply looking to keep a few newly replaced items on the back-burner. Because of their size and function, appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines need to be stored using a few basic guidelines. These guidelines range from things you can easily do in your own home to tasks that we can help you accomplish right before storage.
In order to ensure the protection and preservation of your large appliances in a Florida self storage unit, you must first make sure to clear their insides of all remaining water and residue. Make sure to clean the inner components of the appliances thoroughly, including any spaces in which air can pass through (ex. lint finters, tubes). In addition, make sure to spray all appliances for bugs before storing them to insure the prevention of unwanted infestation.
Once you’re ready to store your appliances, it’s key to consult storage professionals to receive guidelines specific to your experience. Here are a few general tips, however, to get you thinking clearly:
* Make sure to mark all glass surfaces as “fragile,” so as to prevent unwanted pressure or possible damage.
* Consult a Store Self Storage employee about temperature control – since appliances must generally be plugged-in, ensuring they’ll be kept in a temperate and arid space is crucial.
* Ensure that you appliances are guarded from damage by creating barriers. Use soft objects, such as towels and blankets to separate the hard surfaces of each appliance from the others.
Storing large appliances can be an extremely rewarding and helpful decision. Don’t hesitate to inquire about how you can start your Florida self storage process today!
