Storing the Couch in a Way That Allows for Air Flow

Avoid stacking boxes against or on the couch when you're storing them. This could damage the cushions and frame and also create moisture that can cause mold and mildew. It is also essential to store the couch at a suitable distance from the wall in your self-storage unit in order to allow for airflow.

It's also crucial to thoroughly clean the couch before storing it. Vacuuming the fabric, wiping off non-fabric surfaces as well as the sofa's feet are all a part of this. This will reduce the risk of mold and mildew growth even when you're not using it as well as make sure the fabric is protected from pests that may be seeking a meal.
