It’s the distress cry heard from harried movers everywhere: “I can’t believe I have this much stuff!” While you’re packing up your things, whether it’s for a relocation or a move into a self-storage unit, it’s a great opportunity to take inventory of just how much stuff you’ve accumulated over the years. The experts at Maui’s Paradise Self Storage offer advice on how to prepare for a move into a self-storage space:

• Simplify Your Belongings: If you find clothing you haven’t seen in years, take it to your local Goodwill. If you have piles of old magazines you’ll never read again, take them to the recycling bin. De-cluttering now will save you the hassle down the road as you pack and unpack your self-storage space.
• Pack Less, Save Money: The more items you have, the bigger your storage unit will have to be. Be honest with yourself about which belongings you want to hang on to, and it can save you money in the long run.
• Prepare Your Stuff For Storage: Throw out any trash and deep-clean kitchen appliances to remove any lingering bits of food. Pack your clothing in airtight containers. If your storage facilities are not air-conditioned, consider insulated boxes for items like photos and electronics that are susceptible to high temperatures.
