๐ Adventure Storage: Appliance Storage Tip! ๐
Storing large appliances like refrigerators, freezers, and washers requires some crucial prep work to prevent a messy (and moldy!) surprise when you move them.
Here is the plan for success:
- ๐งผ Defrost & Deep Clean: Ensure refrigerators and freezers are completely defrosted and dry. A clean interior prevents odors.
- ๐ฆ Drain Everything: Disconnect and completely drain all hoses and internal reservoirs. Water in a storage unit is your enemy.
- ๐จ Keep It Fresh: Our top tip? Leave the appliance doors slightly ajar. Use a prop or tape to keep a 1-2 inch gap. This crucial airflow prevents mold and mildew from growing inside.
- ๐ Tackle the Cord: Secure the power cord to the side of the unit to prevent it from kinking, breaking, or becoming a tripping hazard.
Protect your investments and start your next storage journey with confidence! ๐ โจ
