Are you planning to clean your storage unit? If you are doing it for the first time and are all gung-ho about it, you wouldn’t know the chaos and trepidation associated with emptying a storage unit. Don’t worry. Our tips will help you sail through the process of cleaning, reorganizing, and emptying a storage unit. Let’s delve.
1. Store in plastic containers
To achieve a clean storage unit, it pays to use plastic boxes to pack up and store your valued possessions. This habit makes for an easy-to-clean process. If possible, avoid cardboard as it forms crevices and cracks making it easy for dust and moisture to get inside and damage your stuff. Air-tight, plastic cases are the best. They’re easier to clean.
Bonus tip 1 – Don’t forget to check your stuff especially if you stay in a humid area where there’s a risk of items running dry.
Bonus tip 2 – Store your linens in vacuum-sealed bags that limit environmental damage.
2. Sort stuff out
Sorting sorts your life. We recommend categorizing your items into the following –
• Retain
• Retrieve
• Resell
• Recycle
Easy to remember, it can be your cleaning mantra!
The idea behind this technique is to use 3 empty boxes to separate things from things.
• The retain box will hold the items you want to keep in storage.
• The retrieve box will have items that you want to pull out from your storage unit and bring back home.
• The resell box is for items you want to sell or maybe donate.
• The recycle box hosts good-for-nothing items that are broken, damaged, and beyond repair.
3. Keep at it till it’s done
Do you know what is the biggest mistake when emptying a storage unit? To not get the work finished in the scheduled period. In this case, it’s best to take help from a professional, reliable organizer. Somebody who could clean out and empty a storage unit for you so that you don’t lose your focus.
Pro tip – don’t hesitate to ask your friends for help, trust us, it’ll make the rather boring process fun and less tiring when your friends join in.
4. Decluttering made easy
Don’t make a headlong dash into large-area-cleaning in a haphazard manner. We advise you to start with one small area, finish cleaning and re-organizing it, and move on to another small area. Remember, a big jigsaw puzzle is solved only by joining one piece at a time.
