What to do before household electrical appliances go into mini storage

Written by Kaman Fong | Oct 8, 2026, 3:38:38 AM

Empty, dry and stand household electrical appliances upright before they go into The Store House. A wet fridge smells. Food, opened dry goods, batteries, paint and lighter gas are not allowed. Rentals start from one month. Eligible new contracts can receive up to three months rent-free plus one complimentary move-in trip, subject to the quote on the day.

How do you prepare a fridge?

Empty both compartments, leave the door open at least 24 hours, add baking soda, then close it. Wipe the seal. Keep it upright, measure the longest side against the clear door, and leave a walkway.

Washer and air-conditioner?

Run the washer empty, clear the filter, dry it with the door ajar, and refit transit bolts if the manual says so. Drain the air-conditioner. Keep a window unit upright.

Can a computer go in?

Yes for the tower and screen. Keep external drives and important files at home. Pad the corners, turn the screen inward, add a moisture pack, and photograph the model.
