Spring Cleaning Using Self Storage

Basket with cleaning supplies, rags and gloves

Spring is here, and many of us have decided to clean and organize our homes. Renting a self-storage unit can make spring cleaning easier and help reduce clutter in your home. A storage locker in Edmonton is a great place to store extra household items you can't live without, or seasonal items like holiday decorations or lawn furniture.

Spring is also the time for home improvement and remodeling projects. Instead of tripping over boxes or furniture during your renovation project, consider renting a short-term storage unit. At Elite Self Storage Edmonton, we have no long-term contracts, security deposits, or admin fees.    

If your spring cleaning project includes cleaning carpets or repainting, consider storing your furniture in a self-storage unit until you're done.

5 SPRING CLEANING TIPS:

1.  Rent Your Storage Unit Before You Need It

Make sure you rent your storage unit before starting your spring cleaning so you don't have to move things twice. You want your spring cleaning to be as enjoyable as possible, and having your storage unit ready will save you a lot of time and hassle.

2.  Declutter and Organize

Decluttering makes you more efficient and keeps you organized.   Research has shown that physical clutter can affect our brain's ability to concentrate and process information.   A disorganized home adds to your stress level. 

Deep clean your cupboards, cabinets, shelves, and closets. If you have dishes, small appliances, furniture, or other items you no longer use and want to save for when your children move out, pack them up and store them in a self-storage unit. Make sure everything you keep in your home is something you need access to regularly and has a place.

Baby items, heirlooms, antiques, and extra furniture can be stored in a storage unit, freeing up space in your home. Renting a storage unit in Edmonton at Elite Self Storage will help you keep the clutter down and create space for your everyday items. 

3.  Work from Top to Bottom

It's essential to start from the ceiling down.  This will force debris downward and keep you from re-dusting or re-cleaning your space.  Start with dusting and washing the ceiling fans and light fixtures.

Wipe down walls and dust your furniture before vacuuming to remove all the dust and debris from your floors.  

4.  Don't Forget About the Garage & Shed

Your garage and shed should also be part of your spring cleaning project. To free up space in your garage, store your spare tires, paddle boards, kayaks, and ski or snowboard equipment in a self-storage unit. 

5.  Organize Your Storage Unit

Ensure you label all the boxes and keep an inventory of what you store in your storage unit.  Packaging and storing things according to when you need them is essential.  Put items you must frequently access at the front of the storage space.  

Optimize your storage unit by using shelving to stack boxes. Try to make aisles within your storage unit so your items are more easily accessible.

Elite Self Storage offers a variety of box sizes to help with your decluttering project. Our storage rental experts can help you choose the perfect size of self-storage unit for your spring cleaning needs. We offer climate-controlled storage, indoor heated storage, unheated drive-up storage, indoor vehicle storage, and RV Storage.
