Hi,

I was wondering whether anyone was an expert in storing sofas??? I am planning to store my leather sofas so that I can rent out my flat. I have been offered free garage space by my brother, but I am concerned that this may harm the sofas. Has anyone done this successfully or do they have any tips on doing it so that they do not go mouldy? :confused:

Any advice greatly appreciated :)
Thankyou!

i would not store leather furniture that i cared about in any space that wasn't climate controlled (temperature & humidity).

Leather should be stored in dry, well-ventililated, humidity controlled environment. Leather is especially prone to mold and mildew where humidity is 60% or more and poorly ventilated.
