Storage Tips
Self Storage Center in Newbury Park, California
Put some thought and planning into storing your possessions to preserve them in good condition. Ventu Park Self Storage, a self storage center
in Newbury Park, California, offers these tips for smart storage:
Storage Tips
- Store items you need most often at the front of the unit.
- When you pack your storage unit, create a center aisle for access to all items.
- Do not place boxes directly on concrete floors. Use pallets or skids to prevent moisture absorption.
- If you're storing tables and other furniture, remove legs, and store tabletops and sofas on end to save space.
- Old photographs tend to curl over time. To keep them flat, place them between 2 pieces of cardboard and tape them together.
- Drain gasoline and oil from lawn mowers and other items with small engines.
- Use trash cans to store shovels, hoes, and rakes.
- Mattresses should be covered and stored flat on level surfaces.
- Use protective covers and treat wood surfaces before storing.
- When storing metal items, wipe all metal surfaces with a rag containing a few drops of machine oil to retard rust.
- Pack blankets, draperies, and dress clothes on the hanger in a wardrobe box.
- Always use high-quality locks on your unit. Locks are available for sale. Just ask the site manager for a recommendation.
- Common sense and state laws determine what may be stored. You alone control access to your storage space; therefore, never store live animals, perishables, liquids, explosives, flammable liquids and fuels, toxic materials, or other items that need a controlled environment.
