When you place your items in a storage unit, you want to be sure your belongings are protected from any kind of damage. Whether you use a storage space for short term storage or long term storage, protecting your belongings is important.

When we store away our belongings, we expect them to be as we left them. Some items are more susceptible than others so it's important to protect them. Here are some helpful tips to help protect your belongings:
Elevate your items off of the ground with a pallet or shelving. By raising your items off of the ground a couple of inches, this will help deter pests from making a home in your storage unit and it will protect your belongings from moisture.
Good mattresses come with a price tag so it's important to store a mattress properly. At Elite Self Storage in South Edmonton we sell mattress covers to help better protect your mattress. It is also important to store your mattress flat and not to pile or stack objects on top of it.
Clean your furniture by wiping and vacuuming any dust off of them before covering. Plastic wrap or specially designed sofa or chair covers should be used to protect your upholstered items. You can also use moving blankets or old blankets. Bubble wrap can be used to protect fragile items. You can purchase all your moving and packing supplies at Elite Self Storage to protect your belongings while in storage.
Place your laundered clothes in plastic containers with clip on lids as this will help protect them from moisture, mold and mildew. Self Storage is a great place to store seasonal clothing giving you more closet space.
Never store food or food related products inside your storage unit as this will attract rodents. Sometimes when we are in a hurry we might overlook this. This also applies to pet food, bird seed, grass seed or soil.
If you are storing a barbeque, thoroughly clean the grill by running it thru your dishwasher. Vacuum furniture cushions and look for any crumbs or residual food. If you are storing your toaster, it's a good idea to give it a good cleaning.
Always educated yourself on what not to store in a storage locker.
Don't over pack your storage unit. If there is not enough air flow, moisture will develop inside the unit. At Elite Self Storage South Edmonton we have storage units of various sizes to accommodate all your self storage needs.
Self Storage facilities do not automatically insure your belongings. Check with your home owner's policy to see if your current policy covers you or if you have to buy added insurance coverage.
We recommend visiting your storage locker frequently to inspect your unit. This way you can always be sure your stored belongings are safe and as you left them.
It is also important to organize your storage unit and keep an inventory so you can easily find frequently used items.
Elite Self Storage is committed to providing exceptional service, security and savings. With individual code access and video surveillance, you can have the peace of mind your items are safe and secure. Rent a storage unit online or call one of our storage rental experts today at 780-452-8242
