It takes a lot of energy and motivation to de-clutter a living space. If that’s not enough work, proceeding to move the items into a storage unit is an even greater project. But in the end, it always turns out to be a major accomplishment! Thanks to self-storage in Hallandale Beach, it’s possible to get your home organized and properly arranged without losing any personal belongings in the process. One may think that once items are out of sight and put away into the storage unit, the de-cluttering process is over. Not quite yet! It’s important to keep your storage unit organized, and below are three ways on how to do so. Layout Counts When most people think of a storage unit, they think of countless stacks of boxes piled on top of each other, with no way of even entering the storage unit itself. This can be dreadful to walk into, and no one wants to spend hours at his or her storage unit trying to find something that’s buried deep down within. A helpful tip created by John Donegan, a writer at SpareFoot, involves creating a pathway in your unit so that you are able to access the items stored in the back. A strategic layout consists of putting your heaviest items at the bottom, followed by placing the items you think you’ll need somewhere near the front. Although these may seem like obvious techniques, they’ll save you lots of time when you need something from your self-storage in Hallandale Beach. Labels & Containers: They Go Hand In Hand You don’t have to be the guru of organization to successfully use labels and containers to help keep your storage unit organized. Be sure to use a permanent marker to identify the contents of each box, by writing a quick label on top. In order to avoid mildew and mold, store items in plastic containers. Cardboard absorbs moisture, especially in dark, enclosed environments. Opt for plastic bins to ensure that your items remain at their utmost quality. Don’t have any organizational tools?
