STORAGE TIPS

Clean Your Belongings Before Storage

To ensure your belongings are still in the same condition as when you moved into your unit, clean them before storing. Wash clothes, vacuum furniture, and wipe down any food-related appliances prior to storing them. In addition to keeping your belongings fresh, cleaning your belongings before storage can help prevent mice and other pests. If you keep non-perishable food items in your unit, ensure they’re in airtight containers which rodents can’t chew through. Perishable food items should never be stored in your unit.

How to Pack a Self-Storage Unit

Once you’ve chosen the right storage unit and properly prepared your belongings for storage, it’s time to start packing your unit! Each storage experience is unique, so there’s no “one size fits all” answer for packing your storage unit. Storing belongings for a renovation, decluttering project, or move across town will have different storage requirements. However, we have a few general guidelines to help make your unit packing experience easier.

STORAGE TIPS

Start Packing Boxes Early

Give yourself enough time to avoid the stress of packing quickly. We recommend treating your unit move-in like you would a regular moving day. Start packing two to- three weeks before your unit rental lease begins. This will help ensure you’re packing efficiently so your storage unit stays organized and your belongings are easily accessible later.

Load Your Vehicle Properly

STORAGE TIPS

Load Your Vehicle Properly

Whether it’s your personal vehicle or a professional moving truck, it’s key to load your belongings properly for transportation. Load your heavy items first, followed by your mid-sized items, and finally your smallest, such as pillows, magazines, etc. Now your vehicle is full of sturdy stacks of boxes ready for transportation.

STORAGE TIPS

Use Dollies and Handcarts

When you’ve transported your belongings to a Storage X unit, save time and backaches with our dollies and handcarts. Slide your boxes or heavy belongings onto the dolly or handcart and load your unit simply and efficiently.

STORAGE TIPS

Keep Your Items Accessible

While you should pack your items by size and weight, be mindful of the boxes or items you’ll need quick access to. If you have seasonal clothing or documents you need to reach quickly, store them as closely as possible to your unit’s door.
