Storing tools and appliances
Appliances Furniture Tools
- Before you store major appliances, make sure that everything is removed and drained, and that they are well cleaned and dried. With refrigerators and freezers, be sure to defrost them, and leave the door opened slightly to prevent mold. Tie up cords and hoses to keep them from getting tangled or damaged.
- Use protective wrapping material for mirrors and other flat glass surfaces, and mark them as being fragile.
- Be sure to put some type of padding between furniture pieces to avoid scratches and dents.
- Fabric covered items should be covered with cloth to prevent dust problems. Fabric furniture like box springs and mattresses should be kept off the floor if at all possible.
