Spring Cleaning | Declutter

Self Storage facilities are a great solution for storing items that you may not have space for at your home. If you are storing sensitive items, such as art, paperwork, or wood furniture, a climate controlled unit is an ideal solution for keeping these items safe and secure. At Elite Self Storage in Edmonton we have climate-controlled storage units and unheated storage units with drive up access.  We offer clean and secure storage with great access hours from 6:00 am to 10:00 pm daily.

You may find that you want to donate some items, or even sell some items, this will aid you with the decluttering process. Storing your items in totes and clearly labelled boxes will help you locate your items easily when needed.

Walk through each room, removing any items that you don't want or need. You will be amazed by how much stuff you have collected. Remember that one man's trash is another man's treasure. Don't feel bad about getting rid of unwanted items.

Remove Seasonal Items

It's time to say goodbye to that winter gear. Winter clothes, boots, sweaters and equipment can take up a lot of space. A storage facility is a great storage solution for all of your winter clothes. It's time to switch out your clothes for lighter fabrics, lighter shoes and sports equipment.

Once stored in your unit, your home will be less cluttered and you will have the ability to take some time to do a deep cleaning of your home. Maximize your storage unit by using shelving, creating an inventory and a map for easier access of your items.

Switch Out Linens 

With the warmer temperatures, your goose down duvet will be heavier and warmer than you need. When putting away your heavier bedding, you will want to ensure that you are storing it correctly, to protect against dust, dirt, bugs, mold and damages. The ideal way to store these items is to allow them to breathe.

Storage bags made of cotton are the best choice, but if they are not available, then another option is a vacuum storage bag.  

Add Closet Space

Go through your closets and remove those extra clothes. This will help downsize your wardrobe and provide you with additional space. Elite Self Storage sells a great selection of boxes, including wardrobe boxes for easy storage.

If you are storing your clothing items for the long term, you may want to consider donating, recycling or selling them. Once you have downsized your closet, a deep clean of all your baseboards, shelving and doors help make your space refreshed and polished.

Home Improvement Projects

With warmer weather and a new season, home improvements are common practice. You may not have ample space at home to keep your supplies or keep your items safe during the project. Removing some of your items during the renovation will make the project go faster, smoother and keep your items safe, without the worry of theft or damages.

Whether you require short term storage or long term storage, Elite Self Storage in Edmonton has a range of storage options for all of your household storage needs. To learn more about our storage facility, give us a call at 780-452-8242 and speak with one of our storage rental experts.
