While packing our homes for moving or just packing extra things around the house for storage, there are two ways through which the packaging can be done that is the right way and wrong way. Most of us use newspaper for the packaging of the things without bothering that the ink may rub off around the things. There is a list of the most common suggestions that is needed while moving boxes while changing home. Glass: Using printed newspaper can led to impressions of the print around the objects. Instead of using printed newspaper, use unprinted paper. Bubble wrap can be used for the mirrors, crystals and china. Using bubble wrap will always ensure you that items are wrapped with bubbles facing out, away from the object. This will help the bubbles from avoiding marks on the glass. The boxes that are used for packaging of mirrors and artwork should be slightly bigger than the objects which help to keep things from shifting or getting banged.
Metal: Rust and tarnish attack the material very soon. Generally, the industrial items are packed in oil and grease and not all of us want to do that for our brass items or for family silver set. For items such as silver should be stored in flannel bag which are infused with silver particles. The things are to be packed after cleaning the pieces thoroughly and polishing them as they are to be stored for long time. Electronics: Electronics are attacked by rust and corrosion very easily. Corrosion cannot be cleaned from electronics. Make sure to include a couple desiccant packets as the electronics are being packed along with bubble wrap. You might have noticed a small packet when you have bought office supplies or laptop. These are the desiccant packets which drew moisture out of the area. Appliances: Appliances are needed to be stored once in a while. When large items are stored make sure that they are prepped correctly. Refrigerators must be cleaned out, pans should be drained, clean off the coils, and make sure to leave the doors are not left cracked open for air circulation while storing. If the doors are left cracked then moisture and mildew will form inside and ruin it from completely. Same prepped is followed for stoves and ovens.
Assets such as refrigerators, electronics, silver ware, antiques, expensive glassware and all can be protected from damaging with proper packaging of your storage unit. Different storage companies will let you know how and what you need to store. Climate controlled storage should be included for the packaging of artwork, antiques and musical instrument which help them to protect from the wide changes in temperatures.
