Furniture
Cover all furniture and disassemble if possible. Lay down blankets between the furniture and the floor. Place table tops down with legs pointing towards the ceiling.

Ensure appliances are defrosted and empty of water. Prop refrigerator doors slightly open to prevent odour build-up.

A Note on Insurance
We recommend contacting your home insurance provider to inquire about a rider for items in storage. Insurance can protect you against fire, floods, and accidental damage beyond just theft.
