Spring Cleaning Tips

Spring cleaning is almost in full affect and you might be wondering how to store items in your storage unit efficiently. Here’s a small list that might help you get started:

• Pads, sheets and blankets are a great way to protect fragile items.
• Instead of cardboard boxes, use plastic containers so you can see the items inside.
• Label boxes or containers on all sides and the top; or print a list of all items and tape it on the outside of the box.
• Boxes should be stored with the heavier boxes and items on the bottom.
• To save space, take apart items like your table, bed frame or bookcases.
• When storing appliances such as a microwave or a refrigerator, leave the doors slightly open to avoid mildew.
• Instead of folding clothing items, use wardrobe boxes so items can remain hanging.
• Finally, create a list of all items you put into storage.
