At Elite Self Storage, we have three convenient locations in North Edmonton, South Edmonton, and St. Albert. We have lots of space and are the perfect solution for storing seasonal items, improvement project supplies, extra furniture, and cherished possessions.
Spring is a great time to do a spring clean at your home. The weather is warmer, and we feel rejuvenated after the long winter season.
Here is a list of 5 spring cleaning tips that will help you to clean and organize your home while renting a storage unit.
1. Spring Cleaning | Declutter
2. Remove seasonal items
3. Switch out linens – heavy to lighter fabrics
4. Add closet space
5. Home Improvement Projects
Self Storage facilities are a great solution for storing items that you may not have space for at your home. If you are storing sensitive items, such as art, paperwork, or wood furniture, a climate-controlled unit is an ideal solution for keeping these items safe and secure. At Elite Self Storage in Edmonton, we have climate-controlled storage units and unheated storage units with drive-up access. We offer clean and secure storage with great access hours from 6:00 am to 10:00 pm daily.
You may find that you want to donate some items, or even sell some items, this will aid you with the decluttering process. Storing your items in totes and clearly labelled boxes will help you locate your items quickly when needed.
Walk through each room, removing items you don't want or need. You will be amazed by how much stuff you have collected. Remember that one man's trash is another man's treasure. Don't feel bad about getting rid of unwanted items.
It's time to say goodbye to that winter gear. Winter clothes, boots, sweaters and equipment can take up a lot of space. A storage facility is a great storage solution for all of your winter clothes. It's time to switch out your clothes for lighter fabrics, lighter shoes and sports equipment.
Once stored in your unit, your home will be less cluttered, and you will have the ability to take some time to do a deep cleaning. Maximize your storage unit by using shelving, creating an inventory, and a map for easier access to your items.
With the warmer temperatures, your goose-down duvet will be heavier and warmer than you need. When putting away your heavier bedding, you will want to ensure that you are storing it correctly to protect against dust, dirt, bugs, mold, and damage. The ideal way to store these items is to allow them to breathe.
Storage bags made of cotton are the best choice, but if they are not available, then another option is a vacuum storage bag.
Go through your closets and remove those extra clothes. This will help downsize your wardrobe and provide you with additional space. Elite Self Storage sells a great selection of boxes, including wardrobe boxes for easy storage.
If you are storing your clothing items long-term, you may want to consider donating, recycling, or selling them. Once you have downsized your closet, a deep clean of all your baseboards, shelving, and doors help make your space refreshed and polished.
With warmer weather and a new season, home improvements are common practice. You may not have ample space at home to keep your supplies or items safe during the project. Removing some of your items during the renovation will make the project go faster and smoother and keep your items safe without worrying about theft or damage.
