Spring is the perfect time to clean out your home and get rid of any clutter that has accumulated over the past year. Not only does spring cleaning help you feel more organized and refreshed, but it can also make your home feel more spacious and welcoming. However, when you’re cleaning out your home, you may realize that you simply don’t have enough space to store everything. That’s where a self storage unit can come in handy. Here are some tips for spring cleaning and how owning a storage unit can be beneficial:
1. Start with a Plan
Before you begin spring cleaning, make a plan. Decide which rooms you want to tackle first, what items you want to keep, and what items you want to get rid of. This will help you stay organized and focused as you clean.
2. Get Rid of Clutter
Spring cleaning is the perfect time to get rid of any clutter that has accumulated in your home. Go through your closets, drawers, and cabinets and donate or throw away anything you no longer need.
3. Store Seasonal Items
One of the best ways to free up space in your home is to store seasonal items in a storage unit. Winter coats, boots, and holiday decorations can take up a lot of space, but they don’t need to be accessible year-round. We will keep them safe until you need them next year!
4. Organize Your Home
Once you’ve gotten rid of clutter and stored seasonal items, it’s time to organize your home. Use storage solutions such as baskets, shelves, and hooks to keep your home tidy and clutter-free.
5. Rent a Storage Unit
If you still find yourself running out of space, consider renting a storage unit. Storage units are a great solution for storing larger items such as furniture, appliances, sports equipment, or even seasonal parking for your boat or RV. By keeping these items in a storage unit or parking spot, you can free up valuable space in your home. Check our available units and see if we have something that would fit your needs. We offer multiple size units in both Self Storage and Climate Control.
6. Protect Valuable Items
A storage unit can also be a safe place to store valuable items such as antiques or family heirlooms. Climate Controlled units can help protect these items from temperature and humidity fluctuations. Our security measures such as our on-site manager, 24/7 surveillance cameras, fully fenced facility, and an automatic gate will help keep your belongings secure. We’ve added carts to all our Climate Controlled buildings to make reaching these units indoors a breeze.
7. Make Room for New Possessions
Spring is a time of renewal and growth, and owning a storage unit can help you make room for new possessions. Whether you’re downsizing, moving to a new home, or simply looking to declutter, a storage unit can be a valuable tool in your spring cleaning arsenal.
