Clean Your Furniture Before Storage

Another important thing you should do when preparing your furniture for storage is clean them thoroughly. Ensure you wipe the dust off your items and empty the drawers. Any dust or dirt on the furniture surface may result in damage or permanent stains after a prolonged storage period. It is advisable to prepare wooden furnishings by sealing or applying a wood polish, preventing them from any damage.

Before moving your furniture to a self storage Dubai unit, dismantle large furniture into pieces. Dissemble items like tables, chairs, beds, cabinets, desks, etc. This way, you can maximize space while ensuring the safety of every stored item. This tip is vital if you own irregular-shaped pieces of furniture like corner sofas or sizeable dining room tables. You can also consider grouping disassembled items together to ensure an easier and less-tasking unpacking. Also, remember to put screws, nuts, bolts, hinges, and other minuscule pieces in labeled bags.

Safeguard Items from Moisture & Weather Conditions

Even if your chosen storage Dubai facility is climate controlled, you must still take appropriate measures to ensure maximum protection of your furniture from harsh weather conditions. Changes in weather climate can cause mold growth, moisture, or dust on your items if they are not properly protected.

First, ensure that all your items are dry. Then apply protective spray on furniture and leather pieces. Seal boxes tightly to keep moisture out while keeping mattresses in mattress bags, clothing in wardrobe boxes, and electronics and cords in plastic containers to prevent moisture damage.
