1. Declutter Before You Store

Before moving items into storage, take inventory of what you truly need. Sort items into three categories: keep, donate, or store. This will help you maximize your storage space and keep unnecessary clutter out of your home.

Items to consider storing:
✅ Heavy winter coats and boots
✅ Holiday decorations
✅ Seasonal sports gear (skis, snowboards, ice skates)
✅ Bulky blankets and comforters


2. Store Seasonal Items Properly

Once you’ve chosen what to store, pack them properly to keep them in great condition.

✔ Use clear bins for easy identification
✔ Label everything so you can find what you need quickly
✔ Vacuum-seal clothing and bedding to save space and protect from moisture
✔ Stack heavier items at the bottom and lighter ones on top to prevent damage


3. Prep Your Outdoor Gear for Storage

Spring means it’s time to swap out winter gear for warm-weather essentials. Make room for bikes, camping gear, and gardening tools by properly storing snowblowers, sleds, and shovels.

🔹 Clean and dry winter equipment before storing to prevent rust and mold
🔹 Remove gas from snow blowers or other fuel-powered tools for safety
🔹 Use wall hooks or shelving in your storage unit to keep things organized


4. Get Ready for Summer

Spring storage isn’t just about putting winter items away—it’s also about making summer gear accessible!

☀️ Bring out patio furniture and check for any needed repairs
🚲 Make sure bikes and scooters are ready for outdoor fun
🏖️ Keep beach gear and camping supplies easy to grab for weekend trips


5. Choose the Right Storage Unit

If you’re storing temperature-sensitive items, consider a climate-controlled unit to protect them from humidity and heat. This is especially important for:

🔥 Wooden furniture
🔥 Electronics
🔥 Important documents
🔥 Clothing and fabrics


Spring into Storage!

A well-organized storage unit can make seasonal transitions smoother and keep your home clutter-free. Whether you're downsizing, moving, or just need extra space, a little planning goes a long way.
