Storage Tips
Maximizing your storage space is easy with the right tips and planning. At Geauga Self Storage, we’re here to help you make the most of your storage unit, whether you're storing household items, seasonal gear, or business supplies. Here are a few helpful tips to keep your belongings safe and organized:
1. Use Proper Packing Materials:
Invest in high-quality boxes, packing tape, bubble wrap, and packing peanuts to ensure your items stay protected during storage. For fragile items, make sure to label them clearly.
2. Create an Inventory List:
Take the time to document everything you store. This will make it easier to find items when you need them and help prevent accidental damage or loss.
3. Maximize Vertical Space:
Stack your boxes neatly and use shelves to maximize the vertical space in your unit. This will give you more room for larger items and make everything easier to access.
4. Store Seasonal Items First:
Store items you won't need for a while, such as holiday decorations or winter gear, at the back of the unit. Keep frequently accessed items near the front for easy retrieval.
5. Avoid Overpacking Boxes:
Don’t overstuff boxes—this can cause them to break or make it harder to lift. Keep the weight manageable for easy transport.
6. Use Furniture Pads for Large Items:
Protect your furniture and larger items with moving blankets or furniture pads. This will prevent scratches, dents, and damage during the moving process.
7. Leave Space for Airflow:
Avoid packing your unit too tightly—leaving a little space between items allows for better air circulation and prevents mold or mildew buildup.
