If you’re moving, or have some older appliances that still work but that you aren’t ready to get rid of, a Lancaster self storage unit may be just what you need. Your valuable appliances can be stored safely and securely in one of these units until you’re ready to move into your new home or ready to sell or start using your old appliances again. Don’t be hasty about getting rid of an appliance that still has some wear to it. You never know when that old refrigerator might come in handy. Perhaps you have a friend whose own refrigerator suddenly died and they can’t afford a new one. Well, you’ll have the opportunity to come to the rescue and loan them yours. Or, maybe you decide to build an addition onto your home so you can have a game room or “man cave.” Both of these rooms could do with a good, old refrigerator! When you decide to take the step and move your appliances into our Budget Self Storage location in Lancaster, there are some steps you should take to ensure your appliances are stored safely. After all, if they’re in good working order you’re definitely going to want to use them again sometime. Spray your appliances for bugs – Storage facilities are secure but it doesn’t seem like anyone can get away from insects no matter how well crafted or insulated the space. Your best bet is to spray the appliances with a bug repellant and let it dry completely before storing. Then, you’re appliance will be ready to use when you are and you don’t have to worry about cleaning out any nasty bugs! Pack things properly – If you’re storing something like a refrigerator, there are shelves and compartments which could easily get damaged during moving. Remove the shelves if possible and wrap them in bubble wrap or blankets. This will protect them and keep them looking new. Packing properly can also pertain to how the appliances are stored. Make sure to store all appliances in their upright position to make sure no damage comes to the interior units and housings. Prevent mold – If your appliance has a water hose, as do refrigerators and washers, remove these and allow them to dry thoroughly before storing. Mold is very detrimental to certain materials and can eat away at, or weaken, the components of your appliance on which it grows. These are just a few of the steps you can take to prepare your appliances for storage. Talk to your storage facility manager to find out even more tips and tricks to protect your valuables.
