Whether you’re trying to reduce clutter at home or need a place to store some of your seasonal items, a storage rental can be the perfect solution to your needs. As the staff at Windmill Storage and Business Park in Columbia Falls, MT explains, however, some items are better suited for a storage unit than others. Here’s a closer look at some of the top items you should and shouldn’t store.

Can

Seasonal Items

Likewise, you aren’t going to be using your lawnmower when your property is covered in snow. A storage rental is a great place to store those items you only need during select times of the year. 

Appliances

Even large appliances like refrigerators and washing machines can be placed in a storage unit if you are keeping one for when you move into a larger space. However, they cannot be plugged in and should be clean and dry when placed in storage. 

Can’t

Perishable Food Items

While canned goods are usually acceptable in a climate-controlled facility, perishable foods like meat, fruits, vegetables, and dairy products are not allowed in a storage unit. The rotting food can easily attract pests or contribute to mold growth.

Flammable Goods

Anything that is considered highly flammable is not going to be permitted at a self-storage facility. This includes items like propane and gasoline, but it also extends to paint, fireworks, and chemical cleaners. 

With everything from recreational vehicle to climate-controlled storage available, Windmill Storage and Business Park serving Kalispell, Whitefish, Columbia Falls and more is the perfect place for your excess items. Secured 24/7 facility access ensures you’ll always be able to get to your stuff.
