If you’re using self-storage or you’re storing away things in general do it right! Don’t make the common mistakes people use when packing their things away. Follow our guide for a fool-proof way to avoid mistakes that will cost you.
- 1. Dry
Everything you pack must be dry as a bone. Use towels and cloths to wipe down items before putting them in. this reduces bacteria growth as there is no damp for it bacteria to fester.
- 2. Put the newspaper down
Don’t think that wrapping your porcelain and china plates in newspaper will suffice. It really wont. Be smart about how you work. the ink from the newspape
r can strafe onto your expensive items and wont protect them from breakage at all. Use bubble wrap instead for an ink free and safer way to wrap your items.

Make sure your storage unit ill well-made and will protect your goods from rain and sun. At Ezeey storage our containers are weather proof so you don’t need to worry about getting that wrong!
