Declutter Before the Holidays: Why Now is the Best Time to Rent a Storage Unit


The holidays are just around the corner, and let's be honest - it's the most wonderful time of the year... but also one of the most stressful. From hosting guests to preparing massive holiday meals, there's a lot going on. And when your home is cluttered with all the stuff you've accumulated throughout the year, it can make things feel a lot more chaotic.

What Not to Store in a Self-Storage Unit: Avoiding Epic Storage Fails


So, you’ve got stuff to store—awesome! But before you start packing your storage unit, let’s talk about what not to stash away. Trust us, avoiding these common storage blunders will save you time, money, and a whole lot of hassle. Ready? Let’s dive in! Perishable Food: Unless you want to host a rodent rave, keep the snacks at home. Storage units and perishable food are a no-go. Hazardous Materials: Gasoline, propane, or anything that goes boom should never see the inside of your storage unit. Safety first, people! Live Plants: Plants are like that friend who needs constant attention. Without sunlight and water, they’re toast. Let them stay at home where they belong. Scented Items: Love that lavender candle? So do we! But in storage, strong scents can turn your unit into a giant perfume bottle. Best to keep those smells at bay. Valuables: We’re talking about your grandma’s pearls and that priceless baseball card. These deserve Fort Knox-level security, not a storage unit. Illegal Items: Let’s keep it clean and legal, folks. If it’s illegal, it’s not welcome in your storage unit. Wet Items: Mold and mildew are the ultimate party crashers. Make sure everything is dry as a bone before it goes into storage. Weapons and Ammo: These are best kept in a secure, specialized spot—not in your storage unit. Medications: Sensitive to temperature and humidity, meds should stay in a controlled environment—like your bathroom cabinet. Sensitive Documents: Your passport, social security card, and love letters? Keep those in a safe place where they won’t get lost or damaged. Picture this: a storage experience where your stuff isn’t just stored—it’s pampered.
