Spring cleaning or Moving?
Whether you’re spring cleaning, moving to a new home or simply trying to reclaim some space, a storage unit can give you a convenient place to keep belongings you don’t need every day. Using storage for moving can also make it easier to organize your home before, during and after a move.
Using Storage When You’re Moving
Moving doesn’t always happen on a perfect schedule. You may need to leave one home before the next one is ready, prepare a house for sale, downsize, renovate or simply move belongings out of the way while you organize.
A self-storage unit can provide temporary space for furniture, boxes, household belongings, business inventory and other items while you make the transition.
Storage Can Make Spring Cleaning Easier
Sometimes you don’t want to get rid of something—you just don’t need it taking up space in your home right now. Seasonal decorations, extra furniture, files, sporting equipment and other belongings can be moved into storage while you decide what you want to keep long term.
Choose the Right Storage Unit Size
Before renting, think about how much you plan to store and whether you’ll need regular access to your belongings. Choosing the right size can help you avoid paying for more space than you need.
Our Storage Size Guide can help you compare unit sizes and determine which option may work best for your belongings.

Organize Your Storage Unit
A little planning can make your storage unit much easier to use. Label boxes clearly and place labels where you can see them. Keep frequently needed belongings toward the front of the unit and leave an aisle when possible so you can reach items toward the back.
Avoid stacking boxes so high that they become unstable, and place heavier boxes underneath lighter ones. Keeping a simple inventory of what you’ve stored can also save time later.
