Storing the Couch to allow air flow

When you store your couch, avoid stacking boxes on the top of it or against it. This can cause damage to the cushions and frame and leave the moisture behind, which can result in mold or mildew. It's also important to store the couch at a reasonable distance from the wall of your self-storage unit to allow for airflow.

It's also important to thoroughly clean your couch before placing it in storage. Vacuuming the fabric, wiping off non-fabric surfaces and the sofa feet are all a part of this. This will help to minimize the chance of mildew and mold growth even when you're not using the fabric, as well as make sure the fabric is secure from pests looking for a snack.
