The problem with washers, as I'm sure you suspect, is that they are highly likely to have some water inside them, which may cause the development of mold when it is in storage.

There are two tricks to this:
1. (Obviously) get as much water as you can out of the drum and any of the pipework before you put it into storage. You may need to disconnect some of the pipes to drain them, and tip the washer on its side to empty it. I would certainly suggest opening the washer door and leaving it for a few days in a warm room so that it dries out.
2. When you've done as much draining as you can, leave some dessicant inside the drum. You can get solid dessicant online. I would also leave the dessicant inside the drum when you put it in the storage.

Hope that helps!

What are storage goods?

Storage goods are not what is stored, they are goods used to store items in and goods to aid in storing items. Although both categorized as storage related goods they fulfill separate but overlapping uses. Storage buildings such as a storage shed, a storage warehouse, a coverall building when used for storage, a storage container, or even a shipping container modified for storage are storage related goods.
