As the weather warms up and snow recedes, you’re probably ready to throw the windows open and do some spring cleaning. One of the best ways to declutter your home is by putting winter items into storage until you need them next season. This frees up space for your other belongings and makes subsequent cleaning a little easier. The list below will help you prioritize which items to pack.

Winter Items You Can Store to Save Space

1. Clothes

It takes a lot of bundling up to keep warm through the winter, and your coats, snow pants, scarves, hats, and boots could probably fill a closet by themselves. For the most efficient storage, pack your winter clothes in a vacuum-sealed bag. When you pull all the air out, your bulky garments will compress, maximizing your available storage space.

2. Snow-Clearing Equipment

You’re probably breathing a sigh of relief now that you don’t have to worry about shoveling your driveway or sidewalk. Whether you use shovels or a snowblower, these pieces of equipment won’t see much use until next winter, so transfer them to your storage unit to free up space in your garage. Just make sure to winterize your snowblower so it’s ready to run the next time you need it.

3. Recreational Gear

Winter is the perfect time to hit the slopes, go sledding with the family, or perfect your ice-skating technique. However, all this gear can take up too much space indoors or in your garage. Free up room for all your summer sports equipment by taking your snowboards, skis, skates, and sleds to your storage unit.
