How to store a lawn mower

5. Fill other fluids to the top.

Tips for pool supplies in storage

1. Mold and mildew will grow on damp equipment, towel dry everything off before storing it or plan a few days in between moving to storage to air dry.
2. To clean pool equipment you can use vinegar for easily removed dirt and bleach to scrub set in stains.
3. Make sure to store pool chemicals in a cool place, on a shelf, and in clearly marked containers.
4. Do not stack pool chemicals on top of one another, as that may cause the plastic to become brittle and crack.

Clothes in storage: what goes and what stays?

1. Start the process by minimizing what goes to storage. If you have not worn something in a few seasons, consider donating it.
2. Place your boxes along the perimeter of your storage unit, instead of cluttering them in the middle, for easy access.
3. Mark with a label or marker, what is inside.
