Spring Cleaning: How Storage Units Can Help Declutter Your Home

Reclaim Your Home This Spring

Spring is the season of renewal, and for many, that means a deep clean. But moving dirt around is easy; dealing with clutter is the real challenge. A self-storage unit can be your secret weapon for a truly organized home.

The "Keep, Donate, Store" Method

As you sort through your belongings, create three piles:

1. Keep: Items you use regularly and love.
2. Donate/Sell: Items in good condition that you no longer need.
3. Store: Seasonal items, sentimental keepsakes, and things you want to keep but don't have room for right now.

What to Move to Storage

• Winter Gear: Coats, boots, sleds, and snow blowers.
• Holiday Decorations: Christmas trees, lights, and ornaments.
• Seasonal Sports Equipment: Skis, snowboards, and hockey gear.
• Sentimental Items: Old yearbooks, family heirlooms, and photo albums.

Create a "Maybe" Box

Can't decide on an item? Put it in a "Maybe" box and move it to storage. If you haven't retrieved it in 6 months, it's probably safe to donate.

Make Room for Living

By moving these items off-site, you free up valuable closet, garage, and basement space. Your home will feel larger, cleaner, and more peaceful.
