At Cube Self Storage, we see a lot of customers who are
storing large household items in between house moves. One of the main items
that are stored are sofas and our storage rooms can easily accommodate three
seaters, two seaters and armchairs. Here are some top tips for preparing your
sofa for storage:
Tip 1 – Cleaning
It’s important that your sofa is clean before placing it in storage. Make sure that you have thoroughly vacuumed your sofa to remove dust, dirt and pet hairs. This includes vacuuming right down in between the cushions if they cannot be removed. If your sofa is leather, we recommend using an appropriate leather suite cleaning kit prior to storage or if your sofa is fabric use an approved fabric cleaner.

Tip 2 – Protection
Although your sofa can be stored as it is without additional protection, we do recommend covering your sofa during storage. This will stop any dust getting on it. The best way to cover your sofa is by covering or wrapping it in a breathable piece of fabric.

Tip 3 – Location
To ensure your sofa stays in its correct shape during storage, we recommend storing it on its base as you would at home. It’s also important to protect your sofa from damage by sharp objects you also have in storage by not placing boxes or other objects on top of your sofa. However to maximise your storage space, other cushions, pillows, duvets, towels or blankets could be stored on your sofa without causing damage.

Cleaning is completely and essentially important. I have a friend who needed to get some items stored while renovating house and she kept it in storage without a thorough cleaning. Quite expectantly it was full of bacteria and worms when she got it back. Thus, it is greatly beneficial to sterilize the furniture before packing.

ReplyDeleteThe term "self storage" is short for "self-service storage" and is also known as "mini storage." Self storage facilities rent or sometimes lease space to individuals, usually storing household goods, or to small businesses, usually storing excess inventory or archived records. The rented spaces are usually secured by the tenant's own lock and key. Unlike in a warehouse, self storage facility employees do not have casual access to the contents of the space. A self storage operator does not take possession or control of the contents of the storage rental space unless a lien is imposed for non-payment of rent. After a lien is imposed for non-payment, state laws generally require that storage facilities auction the contents of a storage unit to cover rent payments owed.
