Self-Storage For Furniture

Your Storage Solution

Space for personal storage is a hot commodity, especially for more invaluable, bulky pieces like furniture. Even once you secure a self-storage solution for your furniture, such as Armored Self Storage, navigating the storage process can be challenging. Issues such as extreme storage climates or protecting your furniture are undoubtedly intimidating. Let us help you out! Read on to learn how to set up your furniture for long-term success.

The Critical Control Variable

Since the wrong climate can severely damage your furniture, you need a climate-controlled storage unit for your furniture if it’s made of the following materials:

• Wood
• Leather
• Upholstery
• Wicker
• Metal
• Electronics

These materials are susceptible to extreme coldness or humidity. They can consequently deteriorate cosmetically or functionally, and climate-controlled storage units can maintain the quality of many more materials. Choosing a climate-controlled self-storage option for your furniture provides a much more pleasant experience when dealing with the hassles of moving furniture.

Protecting Your Furniture

As you look to store your furniture, it’s crucial to understand how to protect your furniture in storage. Here are a few precautionary best practices that should always be executed when storing your furniture:

1. Clean

Whether with a protective and gentle wood cleaner or old-fashioned soap and water, cleaning your furniture before storage can help reduce mold and dust.

2. Disassemble

Decluttering and disassembling your furniture helps minimize breaking and scratching while allowing you to move the pieces conveniently.

3. Wrap

When preparing a self-storage solution for furniture, always wrap your furniture! Read why and how you can properly wrap your furniture in this next section.

Wrapped and Ready

Properly wrapping your furniture for storage is a necessity in protecting your furniture, especially in long-term storage. Plastic wraps, moving blankets, corrugated cardboard sheets, and the like are suitable wrapping materials, while bubble wrap and plastic sheeting are ideal for heavier pieces. An additional two to three layers of plastic wrap are also a reasonable precaution. Make sure everything in the self-storage unit for your furniture is wrapped – including the floor! Laying down thick plastic sheeting should be sufficient to keep your furniture free from any seeping moisture, especially if your unit isn’t climate-controlled.
