Packing for winter storage requires a few extra steps to ensure your belongings stay safe from cold and humidity. Whether you’re storing holiday decorations, extra furniture, or seasonal clothing, a few careful packing strategies can go a long way. Here are five top tips from Slater Transfer & Storage to keep your items in perfect condition throughout the winter.
1. Use Climate-Controlled Storage
Temperature fluctuations can damage sensitive items like electronics, furniture, and artwork. Using climate-controlled storage keeps these items safe from extreme cold and humidity. At Slater Transfer & Storage, our climate-controlled units provide consistent temperatures to protect your belongings all winter long.
2. Wrap and Insulate Fragile Items
Fragile items, especially glass and ceramics, are more vulnerable in colder temperatures. Wrap them carefully in bubble wrap or thick blankets, and use sturdy boxes to protect against shifting. Taking these precautions will prevent breakage and keep everything intact.
3. Avoid Plastic Bags for Fabrics
Plastic bags can trap moisture, which can lead to mildew on fabrics like clothing or blankets. Instead, pack fabrics in breathable containers, such as cardboard boxes or fabric storage bags. This method reduces moisture buildup and keeps your items fresh for future use.
