Self Storage Tips! 
Our Formula for Self Storage Success 
Planning + Preparation + Smart Packing = Keeping your Belongings in Good Shape and Maximizing your Space

Planning: 

• Reserve your Self Storage Unit
• Prepare an inventory of items that you will be storing. List them from largest to smallest. This process will help to ensure that you have reserved the right-sized space.
• Plan which items will go into your self storage unit first; usually the larger ones, items you won't need access to, and your valuables (for added security).

Preparation:

• If you're storing tables and other furniture, remove legs and disassemble them to conserve storage space.
• Use shelving to take full advantage of the storage space.
• Clean all the furniture, appliances, and clothing to remove crumbs, stains, or oils.
• Cover upholstered and wood furniture with the cloth, not plastic.
• Appliances must be clean and dry. Keep freezer and refrigerator doors slightly ajar (to avoid mildew) and use the space inside for additional storage. Remove vacuum cleaner bags and cover openings.
• Have blankets, draperies, and out-of-season clothing clean and ready to be packed in a wardrobe box or on hangers.
• Old photographs should be kept flat to avoid curling. Place them between two pieces of cardboard and tape them together.
• Use a rust protector on any metal objects that you'll be placing in your self storage. Or you can wipe them down with an oily rag.
• Drain gasoline and oil from lawnmowers and other items with small engines.

Smart Packing:

• Use boxes that are close to the same size so you can stack them easily, (heavy ones on the bottom, light ones on top)
• Ensure your boxes are filled to the top so that they will not collapse if anything is stored on them. Use crumpled paper or padding if necessary.
• Don't over-pack boxes. Overfilled boxes will rupture and topple when stacked.
• Label your boxes for easy access.
• Books – pack them flat so you don't damage the spines. Remember not to pack too many in one box, they're heavy.
• Mattresses and box springs should be stored on long edges and wrapped for protection.
• Store couches on end (except sofa beds).
• Store each mirror and glass top in a sturdy crate on their edge, not flat.
• Heat-sensitive goods such as photographs, videotapes, albums, and wood furniture are best stored in a climate-controlled storage unit.
• Under no circumstances should you store anything flammable, hazardous, pressurized, toxic, or combustible. No gasoline, oil, cleaning fluids, or paint thinner.  Also, avoid liquids and aerosols that may spill or burst in your self storage unit.
• Do not store food or plants.
• Do not store soaps or aromatics.
• Use old linens and fabrics, instead of plastic, to protect your stuff from dust.
• Completely fill the self storage unit using the full height of the room. If you don't need to retrieve your belongings don't leave any wasted space.
• Store any items you might need last so they are by the door.
• If you will be accessing your self storage unit regularly, leave small walkways or create a centre aisle between the boxes and furniture so you can easily get to the items you want without having to move anything around.
