Many homeowners choose to dedicate a few days in the early spring to perform a deep clean of their property. This is also an ideal opportunity to remove the clutter in your home that built up throughout the winter. If you have a storage rental, here are a few items you should consider storing. 

What You Should Store in Your Unit This Spring

1. Heavy Blankets

Now that the temperatures are increasing, you don’t need heavy duvet covers and blankets. Rather than sacrifice precious closet space, pack up your blankets and store them in your storage rental until next winter. Place them in a vacuum-sealed bag to prevent moisture from damaging the fabric. 

2. Winter Coats

Winter coats are heavy and take up a lot of space on your rack or hallway closet. Fold up your coats, along with sweatshirts and sweaters, and stack them in a plastic bin with a sealed lid. Always wash them before storing them to prevent unwanted odors. 

3. Snow & Outdoor Sports Equipment

Snow equipment such as shovels, blowers, and large bags of rock salt can be kept in a storage unit. You should also store outdoor sports equipment, such as skis and snowboards. Always apply a coat of wax first to help them maintain their condition. Store these items in a climate-controlled unit as moisture can cause skis to rust. 

Using a self-storage unit to place your winter possessions can help you keep your home clean and organized in the spring and summer.
