With spring just around the corner, it’s an opportune time to clear your home of clutter. Many winter items can take up space in your interior and make your home appear messy and disorganized. Here are a few types of items you can keep safe in your storage unit until next winter rolls around.

What to Store in Spring

1. Holiday Decor

Christmas decorations can be tucked away in your storage unit until it’s time to pull them out in November. You can purchase a special container with fabric-lined trays and dividers to store ornaments without the risk of damage. Place tree skirts and tablecloths in vacuum sealed bags to prevent them from getting musty.

2. Winter Sports Gear

Winter sports gear, such as skis, snowboards, and boots, should also be stored in a storage unit to protect them from damage and to avoid taking up space in your home. Always keep them in a climate-controlled space as moisture can rust the edges of your skis.

3. Jackets/Boots

Wash your winter coats before putting them in storage as the dirt and moisture can damage the fabric. The foul odors can also linger and worsen when it’s time to pull them out of storage. Keep them sealed in vacuum-sealed plastic bags or plastic bins to protect them from mold and mildew. Climate control will also provide an extra layer of protection against moisture and humidity.
