Tip #1 - Clean Your Items Before Storing
One of the most important tips for preserving your items in storage is to make sure that they are clean before they go into storage. If your belongings go into storage with a thick layer of dust or sticky spills, guess what they are going to come out with? A very thick layer of dust and those same sticky spills.
Give all of your belongings a good wipe down or run through the laundry before storing, and cover as much as you can with a sheet or pack in boxes.
