No matter if you are changing the house, giving some of the items away, or just moving to a temporary home, it is crucial to store the sofa correctly. Sofas are not merese and utilitarian items; they are a purchase one makes. Scratching it, throwing it around, or keeping it in an improper place can cause discolouration, hazing or an unpleasant smell.
It is easy to move your sofa to the nearest storage unit when you hire a competent Man with Van Harlow service. However, there is a correct way to make sure your sofa will remain in good shape while it is in storage. Here are some suggestions gathered from professionals on how best to store your sofa for the longest time possible.
When storing your sofa it is important to clean it because most of the time it is covered in dust, and dirt among other stains.
Pro Tip: Before storing your sofa make sure it is clean and free from mould or mildew because if condensation gathers and stays for a long time, then your sofa might catch mould or mildew.
Most sofas have legs, armrests, or cushions, which can be removed to ease transit and storage of your sofa to and from storage. The quite small parts should be packed in protective materials such as bubble paper.
Placing furniture covers with high quality will help to protect your sofa from dust, moisture and even pests. It’s also important not to use plastic covers for long-term storage because they retain moisture, which leads to mould. Yet, it is advisable to buy furniture made of materials such as cotton or use special furniture covers only. If you don’t have a cover, old blankets or sheets can work as an alternative.
The kind of environment in which your sofa is stored also has a profound bearing on the general condition of your sofa. Choose a storage unit that is climate-controlled to avoid drastic changes in temperatures, which ruin fabric, leather, and wood. Check and ensure that the unit of storage is clean, dry and free from pests.
When you hire a Man with Van service in Harlow to move your furniture, in particular your sofa, it is wise to discuss with the moving service providers the kind of storage that you have in mind so that the furniture will be compatible with it.
Raise your sofa from the ground by placing wooden pallets or blocks underneath the bottom of it. It also creates protection against humidity that may penetrate the floor and your furniture from pests.
