Storing Furniture -- any suggestions?

[Raiden256]

So, we just sold our house, and we're moving to temporary living conditions (read: my parents' house -- fun) until our new house is complete at the end of July.

In the meantime, we're storing almost our entire house in one of those storage places. The stuff that needs climate control, we're keeping at my parents' place, as the climate controlled storage is out of our price range. Everything else goes into a 10x20 room, which doesn't appear to be directly ventilated, for three months.

So, I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to prevent mustiness in things like upholstered furniture and clothes... or if, in general, anyone has any suggestions. Will covering the furniture/mattresses/clothes boxes in plastic do anything to help?


Thanks!

Well it'll only get musty in that time if there's a source of moisture. As long as it's kept cool and dry you shouldn't have a problem. Make sure everything is covered well to avoid getting it covered in dust.
