Maximize your storage space and protect your belongings with these smart, practical tips from the A-Plus Self Storage team.
Quick advice to help you pack efficiently, stay organized, and get the most out of your storage unit.
Place frequently used items near the front of your unit and leave walkways for easy access.
Create a list of all stored items, including photos and serial numbers, and store it safely or in a secure deposit box.
Use pallets to elevate your belongings off the floor and also storing in plastic totes or bins will help.
Never store flammable or hazardous items such as gasoline, paint, solvents, lithium ion batteries, or thinners.
Choose boxes or plastic bins of similar size for efficient stacking. Ensure each can safely hold 25–30 lbs without overloading.
List the contents on all four sides, number your boxes, and seal them securely with tape.
Wrap dishes and glassware in paper or bubble wrap and pack them in sturdy boxes, and place those boxes on top.
Use bubble wrap and cardboard to protect framed items and store them standing upright.
Use drawers to store smaller items like silverware and photos. Wrap in towels or linens for protection.
Large appliances can hold towels, linens, or clothes. Add mothballs to help deter pests.
Place rakes, shovels, and hoses inside clean trash cans and stack empty cans together.
Remove table legs to prevent damage and save space during storage.
Place sofas and love seats on their ends to conserve space. Use covers or plastic wrap to protect cushions.
Place blankets and/or plastic sheet covers over stuffed or upholstered furniture to shield against dust.
Use plastic mattress bags or covers. Stand mattresses on their side with proper support using headboards and side rails to maintain shape.
Rent the smallest unit that fits your needs, and pack it efficiently while keeping walkways clear.
Do not place heavy or sharp items on upholstered furniture. Cover lightly with blankets and/or plastic covers and sheets. Add dryer sheets for freshness.
Invest in a quality lock and store the key in a safe, memorable place.
Do not store food to avoid attracting bugs or rodents. Use mothballs as an extra deterrent.
Place TVs and electronics on sturdy furniture like dressers, at the back of your unit, and cover for protection.
