Proper preparation is key to keeping your furniture and appliances in excellent condition during short-term storage. Start by cleaning all items thoroughly to prevent mould, odours, or pest issues. Disassemble large furniture where possible to save space and reduce the risk of damage. Use protective materials like bubble wrap, moving blankets, and covers to shield surfaces from scratches, dust, and humidity.
