Fall is an excellent time to focus on decluttering & organizing your home. The weather is not as nice as the summer months, leaving us to spend more time indoors. With the holiday season just around the corner, we will be busier spending time with family and friends, decorating the house with festive smells and decorations.
Spending time each day for a week will enable you to become clutter free, leaving you feeling refreshed and re-energized.
Go through your spring and summer clothes and ask yourself, Will I ever wear these again? What you thought was a great deal or what was in fashion this season may not be for the next season. If the answer is NO, consider donating them or selling them.
Donating unwanted clothing to a local thrift store is also a great way to recycle unwanted clothing. WIN or the local Salvation Army accept donations of all clothing shapes and sizes.
Take a look at your shoes and sandals. Do any of them have broken buckles, worn heals, or are just worn out? Toss them, why keep something you don’t need! A good way to determine if you still want to keep those shoes, is to take all of them out and look at what you have worn. If you haven’t used them during the season – it’s time to say good-bye.
Kids grow so quickly, so take a moment to go through their closets to see what they have. Can you hand down any of their clothes that don’t fit? Can you recycle into something else? A dress into a skirt? A pair of pants into shorts? Clothing that can be used for another season, keep and everything else let it go!
Renting a self storage unit in Edmonton is ideal for seasonal storage. Packing your items into clearly labelled storage totes or boxes will make it a breeze for next season.
Ever wonder how much make up and beauty products you have? You may be surprised! Look at the expiry dates, and throw out anything that is expired. A general rule of thumb to follow: 1 year for lipstick and lip gloss, 3-6 months for liquid eye makeup/liners and mascara, 2 years for foundation/blush and powdered eye shadow.
Consider each item carefully, asking yourself if you use them or have several duplicates of the same item. It is not recommended to donate your beauty products as bacteria, viruses and fungi can thrive on them. Cleaning your brushes from time to time will save you money and save your items in the long run.
What can you do to your coat closet to utilize space? Look at the coats that you have recently worn. Are they in season, do they still fit? Seasonal coats and sweaters can be stored at a self storage facility, allowing for a less cluttered closet. Winter jackets and rain gear can take up a lot of space in your closet and storing them in a storage unit will free up space.
Boots and shoes can take up a lot of closet space as they are big and bulky. Self Storage units are a perfect solution for storing your seasonal footwear. To keep your seasonal footwear organized, consider putting them into a storage bin or box and label. Keep an inventory of what is in each tote.
Summer is over and camping season is done for another year. It’s time to consider what to do with all this equipment. Keeping it in the shed may not be ideal, as it is damp and can cause mold and mildew to grow. Climate controlled self storage units maintain a consistent temperature all year. This allows for your camping gear to stay dry, mold and mildew free.
At Elite Self Storage, all of our storage units are climate controlled, ensuring that all camping gear is kept clean, dry and ready for next season. Pack your gear in plastic storage totes or plastic Ziplock bags and labelling what is in each.
