Do you own a large amount of Halloween decorations that you only need in September and October? Do you have dozens of boxes of Christmas decorations, and you do not have room in your home closets for storage? Self-storage in Sun City could be the solution. Many Southern California families enjoy decorating the exteriors and interiors of their homes for various holiday seasons, but this does not mean that there is always room in the house for everything when it is boxed up and ready to get put away until the following year. Why not consider renting a self-storage unit in Sun City? Our MenifeeStorage.com units come in all shapes and sizes, ranging from smaller 5x5 units that are perfect for a collection of boxed up holiday decor to very large 10x32 units that can hold all of your indoor and outdoor decorations until it is time to put them to use again. Packing Up Your Holiday Decorations for Storage When you start getting your holiday decorations ready for storage, it is important to pack them up in a way that will prevent breakage and other types of damage. We have gathered some packing tips from Better Homes & Gardens and from Real Simple to help you get your packing under control. Here are some of those tips as you start getting ready to move your decorations to your storage unit: Shred wrapping paper to create packing filler: if you do not have a lot of packing materials to ensure that glass and other fragile decorations will be safe, why not recycle your wrapping paper from Christmas or Chanukah? Simply place the wrapping paper in a shredder, and soon you will have a lot of “fluffy strips” that you can use to safeguard your fragile items. Label your lights: whether you are using strands of lights inside or outside your home, it is more than likely that you will not remember which lights go where, or how long each light strand is when it is wound up. Placing a small tag at the end of your light strands with the length and the location where you display them can help to make things much easier when you start decorating again. Use wine boxes for Christmas tree ornaments: if you do not have a box that has ornament organizers, leftover wine boxes can also work great. Be sure to pad the ornaments and to use smaller pieces of bubble wrap to prevent breakage. Use coat hangers and portage coat racks to hang wreaths: if you have a number of wreaths you use during the holidays and want to ensure that they are preserved as best as possible, you can place them on coat hangers, and then hang them on portable coat racks within your storage unit. Plan to dry clean and press any costumes before and after storage: whether you are storing a vintage Halloween costume or a Santa suit, Real Simple recommends treating your costumes like you would a wedding dress: “dry-clean them, press them, and keep them folded neatly in a sealed, acid-free container so that no moisture or moths can get in.” Get a Storage Unit in Sun City Today For more information about a self-storage unit in Sun City, do not hesitate to contact MenifeeStorage.com at 951-638-4744.
