Tips from storage unit companies for putting your precious belongings in Self Storage.


A storage unit is a great way to store the precious belongings that you just don’t have the room for in your house. If it is trinkets from the renaissance fair that your wife thinks are childish or winter coats that are taking up too much space in your walk-in closet as the summer months approach. Self-storage is the answer. 

But how to store your belongings the right way? What are some things people often don’t know about self-storage units? Here are a few things you can avoid when storing your personal belongings in a storage unit. 



Fragile Items


Self-storage in case of fragile items is done right when you know that cardboard storage boxes must be wrapped up. Super Storage provides you with facilities such as bubble wrap and tape that helps you in wrapping all your belongings. You will not need to worry about your belongings collecting dust or getting damaged during transportation.



Organize and Label


At Super Storage, we are big believers of organization. Before sending your items off to a storage unit, put all your items into categories and then into cardboard boxes. Not only will this make it easier for you to pack. It will help you find the right boxes later whenever you need to go through them again.

Avoid stuffing a lot of items into a bag, especially wires and cables such as fairy lights. Untangling them would take way too much time and you might even damage some of the wires in the process. To add a system, label each box and bag after you are done the packing as this will save you so much trouble in the future. It is always better to know where everything is. Labeling items create a sense that all your precious belongings have a home.

Clothing


Most people like to use self-storage units to store our off-season clothing items. When storing clothing items in a storage unit the common option is using plastic bags. This is not ideal because plastic bags cannot prevent mildew or moisture from getting into the clothes. This can damage the fabric over time and cause yellowing. 

Try to wash or dry clean all the clothing items that you are putting into storage in case there are any stains on your clothing items. Leaving the stains over a long period can make them even more difficult to remove. Garment bags and plastic boxes with airtight lids are a great way to store your clothing items. These are portable and keep the fabric safe against environmental factors.
