You get to buy things over the
years. Some are even given by your ancestors. Because of this, waking up in a
cluttered home is not impossible. The solution? Home storage.
Home storage is your basement away
from your home. You lock the unit, you keep the key, and you can access your
unit as often as you need to without any problems. There’s nothing more
important than peace of mind when it comes to storing your belongings.
Home storage is great for either
long or short term. It is designed to have different sized such as closet-sized
unites that could hold the contents of a five-room house, drive-ups for ATVs
and SUVs, walk-ins and elevator access.
If you are on your way to renting
a home storage unit, here are some tips that may help you out:
1.
You can begin with packing your
items properly to save you time and ensure your goods are maintained in the
best possible condition. Start by packing and gathering as many boxes that you
think you will need. Tape, markers, and other packing materials are also
essential.
2.
Avoid using printed papers to
avoid rubbing off of ink when packing.
3.
The use of uniform boxes is
best for easy stocking; however, these boxes are not advisable for knick
knacks.
4.
Stack heavier boxes on the
bottom and lighter boxes on top.
5.
When packing appliances, make
sure all refrigerators and freezers are thoroughly dry. Store them with the
door ajar so air can circulate inside. However, make sure that the doors of other
types of appliances are securely shut.
6.
For beddings and linens, use
dresser drawers when possible to store blankets, pillows and sheets.
7.
Home storage is all about
maximizing space so take advantage of drawers for packing many light household
items such as photos and clocks.
8.
If items are fragile, be sure
to use towels or there padding to protect them from breakage.
9.
Invert light chairs so they are
“seat-to-seat.” There’s usually space between the legs for small, lightweight
items.
10.
For tables, take the legs off
tables when possible and wrap separately. This prevents possible damage and
also saves space. Tape the hardware to the underside of the table, so it is not
misplaced.
