Often homeowners find they have accumulated too much stuff. It happens without you even realizing it. You look up one day and suddenly realize that you’ve got one too many bedroom sets or couches. Maybe there was an amazing sale and you just couldn’t pass on the terrific deal on your new dining room table.
This happens to us all, even those living in a condo or apartment. We find great deals on new appliances and buy them but then we have no way to store the old stuff. Sure, you can give them away to friends or relatives; maybe even have a big garage sale. But for some of us, it just isn’t possible to do any of that. That’s when we start looking around the neighborhood for a great self storage place.
Simply Self Storage has locations all across America including Kansas City storage places as well as Indianapolis storage. There’s probably one close by in your neighborhood. They are safe and clean and have excellent security so that your belongings will be well cared for and safe. They’ve been in business for many years and have learned a few things about how to properly store your personal effects and furniture. Below are a few helpful storage tips:
- When storing clothes, it’s best to fold them or hang them on hangers. Simply Self Storage offers a heavy-duty cardboard wardrobe that works great when storing clothing. Dresses, pants and shirts should be hung on plastic hangers and will keep their shape much better. Shoes are a little more challenging to store. They cannot be laid on top of each other but should be separated by layers of cardboard.
- When storing appliances, it’s always best to store them in an upright position. Storing or even moving a refrigerator on its side can ruin it for good. For microwaves, computer monitors or even a flat screen TV, Simply Self Storage has a microwave box with sturdy construction that allows for surrounding packing.
- Bedroom furniture such as dressers should also be stored upright whenever possible. Most mattresses can be laid on their side and leaned up against a wall but they should be covered with heavy plastic to keep insects and moisture out.
- Bedding, blankets and linens should be neatly folded and placed in boxes or heavy plastic. Be sure that there is no moisture in fabrics before storage. Any moisture can quickly lead to mildew. If you will be storing items made of fabric for a long period of time, then heavy plastic works better than boxes.
Simply Self Storage offers every size and shape of storage containers to make your move easier. Whether you’re looking for a tall box to store your favorite floor lamp or a thin box for paintings and mirrors, you’ll find it at Simply Self Storage.
