This could damage the cushions and frame, and also create moisture that can result in mold and mildew. It is also essential to store the couch at a safe distance from the wall of your self-storage unit to allow for airflow. It's also important to thoroughly clean the couch prior to placing it in storage. This includes vacuuming the fabric and wiping down the areas that aren't fabric, and also the sofa's feet. This will minimize the chance of mildew and mold growth even when you're not using it, and ensure the fabric is protected from pests that may be seeking a meal.
