Tips for Cleaning Your Storage Unit

Is your storage unit one that you won at an auction, inherited, or even you haven't paid a visit for a long time? Cleaning becomes a significant task to handle for such units. Storage Christchurch is a new self-storage facility built for people of Christchurch with restricted space but needs a secure environment to protect and store their valuable possessions.

As you would expect of all the modern storage facilities, our storage unit also undergoes cleaning as there are major steps to overcome the cleaning task.

Here are some effective methods to clean out a storage unit, get rid of the leftover, and discard the items.

1. Taking an inventory of the contents of the storage unit

You should scan the unit to help you know what is inside the inventory. This step is essential in all storage units regardless of how you acquired the inventory. Under the scanning process, you can;

·         Write down what you can see and count to help you in sorting through the cleaning process. Through writing down, you can easily estimate if you will need extra people or not.

·         Create an open space both in and outside the unit. In case you cannot move everything to a corner, pop up a temporary canopy and work within it as you clean since it has to go on simultaneously with processing.

         Open the boxes to take an inventory of their contents. If you have already labeled your boxes, then this step isn't necessary for you.

2. Plan a day to declutter and enlist friends for help

To avoid overwhelming, you should prepare yourself for the coming task. Decide when to do the actual cleaning and get back with garbage bags, sorting totes, labels, and moving supplies. You can also consider;

·         The time and people you need for this task

·         Rules of the storage unit auction

·         Any emotional attachment to the stuff

3. Sort the stuff into categories of the store, toss, donate/sell or keep; if some of the items are broken, you may discard them by selling or donating them in a garage.
