drained for extended storage. Contact your Waterbed
Supplier for details.
Mattress - Store mattresses and springs in mattress bags or
in mattress boxes. Do not place directly on the floor or lean
on walls. Always store on edge. Storing the mattress flat
can cause them to lose their shape or become 'lumpy".
This & That Movers,LLC is not responsible for items
packaged,boxed or wrapped in any material or container by customer
or someone employed,helped or hired by the customer.
CLOTHING:
Use wardrobe boxes for storing hanging clothes. Store all
folded clothes in boxes. Place a layer of paper between each
fold to prevent permanent creases.
FURNITURE:
Spray furniture with good polish. Do not use plastic to cover
furniture as this can cause mildew. Use old blankets and
sheets. Paper pads work well and are available through our
box store. This will allow furniture to "breathe".
INFLAMMABLES:
Do not store any explosives, ammunition, dangerous chemi-
cals, inflammables, paint or oily rags. When storing an auto,
boat, or motorcycle in a storage unit, always drain the gas
tank. Loosely place a gas cap on the tank so it can "breathe".
This & That Movers,LLC. will not be responsible for any damages
incurred directly or indirectly as a result of improperly or non drained tanks,equipment,
containers or other items containing fluids of any kind even if item is marked or posted.
We ask that you drain all items of any and all fluids.
MIRRORS/PICTURES:
Store in mirror boxes. Store on edge, not flat.
REFRIGERATORS/FREEZERS:
Empty and unplug appliances. Clean thoroughly with a
solution of 1 cup baking soda to 1 gallon water. Let. stand
open for 24 hours to dry. After placing in storage, line all
shelves with newspaper. To absorb odors, place charcoal
briquettes on paper inside the appliances. Place electric cord
over top of appliance so it will hang down and keep door from
closing completely. This will prevent mildew and odor.
STOVES:
Unplug or arrange to have removed from gas supply.
Remove all loose parts (burners, broil pan, shelves) and clean
with baking soda solution. Allow loose parts to dry for 24
hours. Wrap each piece in newspaper and pack in box.
Mark box carefully.
VALUABLES:
Generally, we don't advise storing valuables in a storage unit
for security reasons. But if you must, place valuable items lo
the rear of the storage unit. Mislabel boxes (as a security
measure), I.e.: for silver, label could read: "kid's toys''. It is
not advisable to store pianos, fine art objects etc. for
extended, periods in an uncontrolled climate, such as an
outdoor self storage.
WASHER/DRYERS:
Make sure washer pump assembly is completely drained.
Contact Appliance Service Center tor instructions on your
model.
IN GENERAL,
To help eliminate the possibility of bugs, mice or other
critters, do not place human or pet food in the storage unit.
Place moth balls along the inside walls and door of your
storage unit while moving in and add more every two or three
months. Keep all items off the floor if possible to allow air
flow. Use pallets whenever possible. Place plastic under all
boxes. Seal all boxes with packing tape, To retard rusting of
exposed metal, apply a. light coat of oil. Be sure to use a
good, strong, reliable lock to secure your unit. In any storage
facility, you have the responsibility of being covered by
insurance.
