Tips

Keep Your Belongings Safe & Organized

---

Proper storage is crucial for maintaining the condition of your items and maximizing the space in your unit. Whether you’re storing seasonal items, business inventory, or household goods, following best practices can ensure your belongings stay in great shape and are easily accessible when needed. Here are some tips to help you get the most out of your storage experience.

1. Choose the Right Storage Unit Size

Choosing the correct storage unit size is essential for maximizing space and minimizing costs. Take inventory of what you plan to store and ensure you have enough room for everything without overcrowding the unit. A well-organized unit is easier to navigate and prevents damage to items.

Tip: If unsure, ask us for guidance on selecting the best size for your needs.

2. Clean Items Before Storing Them

Before storing any items, make sure they’re clean and dry. Dirt and moisture can cause mould, mildew, or pests, which could ruin your belongings. Take the time to clean furniture, appliances, and clothing before packing them away.

Tip: Use airtight containers for clothing and soft goods to prevent dust and dirt from accumulating.

3. Use Proper Packing Materials

When packing items for storage, make sure to use the right materials to keep them protected.

Cardboard boxes are perfect for most items, but ensure they’re in good condition and not damaged.

Plastic bins: For long-term storage, plastic bins offer better protection from moisture and pests. Furniture covers: Protect furniture with covers or blankets to avoid scratches or dirt accumulation.

4. Label Everything

Labelling all boxes and containers makes it easier to find what you need when you return to your storage unit. Use a labelling system (e.g., room names, item categories) and include a list of contents for each box.

Tip: Consider using large, legible labels or color-coded tape for easy identification.

5. Store Items in the Right Way

Properly stacking and storing your items will save space and protect your belongings. Here are a few tips:

Store heavier items at the bottom and lighter items on top. Use pallets to keep boxes and items off the ground. This helps with airflow and prevents moisture damage. Leave aisles or pathways between rows of boxes to make it easier to access your items. Consider disassembling larger pieces like tables or bed frames to save space if storing furniture.

6. Avoid Storing Hazardous Materials

Some materials can be dangerous or prohibited in storage units. Always check with your facility, but typically, hazardous materials like chemicals, flammable items, and perishable goods should not be stored.

Tip: If unsure, consult with your storage provider about any restrictions or guidelines regarding hazardous items.

7. Check on Your Storage Unit Regularly

While you may not need to access your stored items often, checking your storage unit periodically is a good idea to ensure everything is in good condition.

Tip: Set a reminder to inspect your unit every 3-6 months.
