5 Common self storage items & storage tips

March 25, 2014 By Don Gracia

From home goods to computers, you might be asking yourself, “What should go in my storage unit this month?” There is an abundant amount of things that can fit nicely inside of self storage. Here are 5 common self storage items and a few tips on how to store each of them.

  1. Furniture
    If you’ve ever loaded up a moving truck, you know how easy it is to fill space with furniture. When storing furniture, be sure to place plastic bedding or wooden pallets beneath furniture to keep moisture or mildew away.
  2. Electronics
    From computers to appliances, electronics are a very common items stored in self storage but not without precautions. Be sure to cover electronics with a cotton sheet to prevent significant dust buildup.
  3. Documents
    If you’re still hanging on to your documents and files, chances are they’re important. Keep your documents in tip-top shape by keeping them elevated and away from potential ground level moisture.
  4. Photos
    Photos make for excellent storage, but there are some important tips. Separate paintings and photos with sheets of paper to prevent them from sticking together. If you have stacks of photos, wrap them between two cardboard sheets, and place them into a box to avoid dust build up.
  5. Fine Clothing
    Putting away the furs for the summer? Storing fine clothing is possible, but it requires appropriate spacing. Space your clothing apart on a clothesline to allow for plenty of breathing room. Avoid putting furs into bags as they can be damaged by excess pressure.

Whether you need a small, closet-sized unit for holiday decorations, winter clothing, or boxes of stuff you just don’t want to throw away, or you need a large unit to clear out your basement, attic, or garage, a month-to-month self-storage rental could be the key to open up space in your life and PROVIDENCE SELF STORAGE has the right sized storage units, with no long-term commitment.
