Moving your items into long or short term storage ?
Here are a few tips

ensure you know the storage places rules regarding what can and can not be stored
no storage place will for example allow any type of gas to be stored
Remember to ensure anything with any liquid in it is drained ( Eg Washing machine (will need to ensure it is drained for the mover who brings it to storage anyway )
ensure nothing is moist or damp eg your fridge /and/or Freezer (and that the freezer is defrosted ) (and don't leave any food in either ) as to avoid mold or the likes growing developing
Got a mattress you need to store ? Don't store it stood up right as after a while it will start to flop or bend Store it in a way that it can bend or sag so if possible against a wall and with a hard board at the front to stop that Or store then on their sides
As when moving please ensure all boxes have either a lid or are seal-able to avoid the risk of contents spilling from them (especially if the storage unit is the 7 cubic metre wooden box type as they are moved around on folk lifts
Remember that black bags are not suitable for long term storage as they can and do after a while start to weaken and disintegrate making them harder to handle
