How do I prepare appliances for storage?
To save space, fill interiors of appliances with linens, clothes and stuffed toys.
Refrigerator
- A refrigerator or freezer should be thoroughly dry and stored with its door slightly ajar to prevent mold growth.
- Some goods can be stored inside large appliances and boxes can be stacked on top of stoves, refrigerators, and freezers.
Stoves
- Make sure that stoves and cooking equipment are cleaned before they are stored.
Washing machine
- Stuff towels between the washing machine and the inner tub of the washing machine to keep the tub from rotating.
Vacuums
- Remove and discard vacuum cleaner bags before storing.
