Self Storage Tips
Bedding, Clothing, Curtains, Drapes & Linen:
Clothing, curtains and drapes should be stored on hangers. If hanging facilities are not available, such items should be carefully folded and stored in dresser drawers or cedar chests along with bedding and linen. Some facilities sell wardrobe style, cardboard cartons, which help protect you clothes. Food crumbs or stains should be removed before storage. Avoid storing anything that will attract rodents.
Dishes and Glassware:
Place a layer of packing inside the bottom and top of the cartons containing glassware. Label all cartons. All glass items should be individually wrapped. Nest cups and bowls and stand plates, saucers and platters on edge. Wrapped glasses should be placed toward the top of the carton.
Benefits of Self Storage:
Occasionally when you move from one home to another you will need to make use of self storage units to store your household goods. Self storage units are like a mini storage facility that you lease. You rent storage for your personal items. Self storage facilities lease space to individuals, or even small businesses that might have excess inventory or archived records to store. You get secure storage under your own lock and key. These containers may even be climate controlled storage units.
PODS - portable storage and moving:
A POD is delivered right to your door which you can pack at your own pace and use the POD company container for as long as you want. You get to lock the POD and keep the only key. The POD lift keeps things level and you load at ground level and you do not have to contend with any ramps. Work at your own pace!
