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.
