| Storing Electrical Equipment |
| All equipment should be thoroughly cleaned and dry before it is stored. Any equipment with sealing doors, such as a refrigerator, should be stored with the dorr slightly ajar. |

| Furniture |
| Place a pallet, corrugated cardboard mat, or plastic sheet on the floor and stand sofas and mattresses on end. Disassemble beds and tables and wrap table legs in paper. If a table will not disassemble, place padding on the floor and place the table on its top with the legs pointing up. Use dresser tops for stacking cartons and dresser drawers for lines or small, delicate items. Keep upholstery off the floor. Most lightweight chairs can be stacked "seat to seat" or placed upside down on tables, which cannot be disassembled. Finally, place a light cotton dust cover on your furniture. Assured does sell covers. |

| Dishes and Glassware |
| Place a layer of packing inside the bottom and at the top of boxes containing glassware.
