Say Goodbye to Cold Weather

Person holding a packed box

Spring is here, the rabbits are starting to turn brown, so it's time to start thinking about spring cleaning! Kick start your spring cleaning by moving all your winter supplies out of the house and garage.  An unheated storage unit can store your winter sports gear, your snow blower and shovels, and your winter parkas, boots and cold weather emergency kits that are taking up so much space in your closets, vehicles and piling up in your garage.

Store seasonal items

Put away your ski’s, snowboards, coats and boots until our next cold spell. If your closets are bursting with these bulky items, consider renting a self storage unit in St. Albert.  By moving these items into a storage facility, you will free up space that allows you to repurpose it to something more useful for spring and summer activities.  

Make sure you wash and dry all of your items before you pack them away to prevent surprises when you unpack them next season.  Store these items in large clear plastic bags or storage bins with clear labels.  Service your ski's and snowboards so they are ready and waiting for your next cold weather trek.

Prep your Snowmobile or ATV for Storage

Instead of filling up your garage with toys you can't use until the snow flies, rent a storage unit in St Albert to store your snowmobile or ATV. Make sure to clean off all the dirt, salt and grime that has accumulated over the winter, as this can rust and corrode your equipment. Remove the battery and store it separately in a temperature-controlled environment. Make sure to add fuel stabilizer to the gasoline to prevent condensation from occurring.

Swap out your Wardrobe

Pack away your winter coats, sweaters and other heavy clothing to make room for your spring attire. Take this time to go through your clothing to do repairs, and decide if you should keep, trash or donate anything you seldom wear. If you don’t have space in your home to store your winter wardrobe, consider renting a self storage unit.

Start a Spring Cleaning Checklist

Now that you have removed your seasonal items from your home, it’s time to create a spring cleaning list of tasks you want to complete, this will help you stay on track. It’s easy to get distracted when you start spring cleaning, especially if you’re going through clutter and making decisions on what to keep, donate or put into storage.  Breaking it down into smaller tasks, that are scheduled into your days, works wonders.

For items you are unsure of whether you should keep or donate, moving them into your self storage unit will give you more time to consider their usefulness while keeping down the clutter.
