In many homes, storage space is at a premium. As a result, we end up keeping all types of objects in our bedroom or hall closets, minimizing the available space we have for household essentials and everyday items, such as clothing, shoes, and accessories. At US Storage, our Phoenix storage units allow you to reclaim closet space by providing clean, climate controlled indoor units in a variety of sizes to suit all of your needs. Phoenix Storage Units Make Closet Organization Easy Tackling your closets is one of those tasks that is easy to put off, but it pays big dividends in keeping yourself organized and reducing the amount of clutter in your home. To reclaim closet space in various areas, clean out excess items you do not use regularly and keep them in a Phoenix storage unit. When deciding what to keep, what to store, and what to throw away, follow these tips from the home experts at the Today show: For utility closets: Condense excess household cleaning supplies, and keep only your basic cleaning tools, such as a broom, mop, and vacuum. A Phoenix storage unit can be used for specialty items, such as carpet cleaners and floor waxers. For linen closets: Remove excess towels, tablecloths, draperies, guest linens, and holiday supplies. These take up much needed storage space, and can be kept safely in your Phoenix storage unit, allowing easy access when needed. For bedroom closets: Items in these closets should be divided into three piles. Those you have not worn or used in over a year should be donated, while seasonal clothes, shoes, or handbags can be boxed up to place in your Phoenix storage unit. The remainder can be neatly organized and placed back into your closet, using hangers, clear bins, and other closet organization tools. The extra space you gain from cleaning out your utility and linen closets can be used for items such as sports or recreation supplies and family mementos, while your bedroom closet can be reserved specifically for your wardrobe. Packing Items Properly For Your Phoenix Storage Unit Our Phoenix storage unit facility makes packing easy, by offering supplies such as boxes, bubble wrap, tape, and other materials. To make storing and unpacking easier, be specific in labeling boxes as to their content and avoid overloading. Follow these tips from HGTV when packing clothes and delicate fabrics: Launder or dry clean all items before placing in storage, and review for any stains, tears, or missing buttons that need to be fixed. Rather than using plastic garment bags or boxes that can attract moisture, opt for cotton and cardboard storage containers instead. Items such as dresses and suits are best stored on hangers, but avoid the thin wire kind which will not support heavier items and can lead to unsightly bulges or creasing.
