Be sure to clean in the crevices of any baby equipment, and make sure everything is thoroughly dried before placing in your storage unit. Using Your Storage Unit For Older Children’s Items Past the toddler years, parents often use closets and crawl spaces for children’s items that have outgrown their usefulness.
