Storage Tips & Tricks

Our professional staff has the expertise to make your storage experience a pleasant one. Review these helpful hints when you choose Dymon Self Storage for all your storage needs:

1) Use furniture drawers for delicate items and specially wrap and label them as "FRAGILE". Bubble wrap and packing paper are excellent for these purposes.

2) When packing toys or smaller objects, remember to fill boxes completely, stuffing open areas with plain newspaper to prevent collapsing when stacked.

3) Do not store anything combustible, (such as paint and chemicals), or perishable (such as food).

4) When storing lawn and garden equipment, drain any fluids prior to storage to avoid corrosive damage.

5) Use trash cans to store shovels, hoes and rakes.

6) If stacking furniture, use protective blankets to prevent scratching of wood finishes.

7) Mattresses should be covered in plastic and stored flat.

8) Larger appliances, such as stoves or refrigerators, provide additional space for storing towels, blankets, etc.

9) Break down items such as table legs, and store tabletops and sofas on end, to save space.

10) Use protective covers and treat wood surfaces before storing.

11) When storing business files and inventory, label all boxes and allow for aisles so files are easily seen and accessible.
