Clean and Prep Before Storing
Before you put anything into storage, clean and dry it thoroughly. Moisture and dirt can cause mildew and odors over time. Wrap upholstered items in breathable covers rather than plastic to allow air circulation.
Pack Strategically
Use sturdy, uniform boxes that stack neatly. Keep heavier boxes on the bottom and label everything clearly. If possible, leave an aisle between stacks so you can access items later.
Protect Against Florida’s Climate
Humidity is the biggest threat in long-term storage. Opt for climate-controlled units to prevent mold, corrosion, and pests. For extra security, DeVries Moving’s facilities feature sealed environments and 24-hour monitoring.
Check In Periodically
Even with top-tier storage, it’s smart to visit occasionally to inspect for leaks, pests, or shifting boxes. A quick check every few months ensures everything remains in perfect shape.
Long-term peace of mind starts here. Choose DeVries Moving for clean, climate-controlled storage that keeps your valuables safe year-round.
