Make the most out of your self storage unit in Stockbridge with these 10 tips from The Storage Neighbor.

1. When you rent a unit from The Storage Neighbor in Stockbridge, it will be clean prior to your taking possession.  However, for additional cleanliness in your Stockbridge storage unit, consider putting down canvas, cardboard or pallets to protect items from sitting directly on the floor.
2. If you opt for an outdoor dry storage unit in Stockbridge, as opposed to an indoor climate controlled unit, consider putting down moisture absorbers and/or deodorizers for added protection.
3. We recommend placing electronics and other highly valuable items toward the back of your Stockbridge storage unit for added protection.  While the security at our storage facility in Stockbridge is top notch, taking added precautions is never a bad idea.
4. The largest or bulkiest items should be placed along the back or side walls of your Stockbridge storage unit.
5. Arranging items in your storage unit in Stockbridge in a U shape, or with a center aisle, is an easy way to increase accessibility.
6. Items or boxes that you will need to access frequently should be placed toward the front or along the aisles of your Stockbridge storage unit.
7. Artwork and mirrors should be stored upright and inside cardboard boxes in your Stockbridge storage unit.
8. Stacking boxes in your Stockbridge storage unit is a bit of an art. Place the heaviest boxes at the bottom and lighter boxes at the top.  Also try to stack similar sized boxes together.  If possible, try to stack like items together in your storage unit in Stockbridge. For example, all boxes that hold kitchen items should be placed together.
9. Don’t forget that you can gain space in your Stockbridge storage unit by placing items inside dressers, bookshelves and appliances.
10. We recommend keeping a fold-up step stool inside your Stockbridge storage unit to make accessing hard to reach items easier.

At The Storage Neighbor in Roswell, we answer a lot of questions about proper storage.  Here are some suggestions for how to store high priced and valuable items in your Roswell storage unit.

Appliances

When storing refrigerators or freezers in your Roswell storage unit, be sure they are defrosted. This is done to avoid water damage and discourage the growth of mildew.  Once stored inside your storage unit in Roswell, we recommend leaving the doors of refrigerators and freezers slightly open to encourage air circulation.  If storing a washing machine in your storage unit in Roswell make sure it is completely drained.  To keep appliance dry while in your Roswell storage unit, wipe them down with baking soda or place a box inside the appliance.

Electronics

If possible, electronics such as TVs, computers and stereo equipment should be kept in their original packaging for the duration of their storage in our Roswell facility.  If you no longer have the original boxes, find boxes close in size to the original and fill the extra space with paper or packing peanuts.

Photographs and Family Heirlooms

Many families find it necessary to store photographs and family heirlooms in their storage unit in Roswell.  At The Storage Neighbor in Roswell, we understand how important these treasures are to you and your family.  When storing items of this nature, we recommend that you lease an indoor climate controlled storage unit at our Roswell facility.  The steady temperature (between 60 and 78 degrees) will help to ensure that these items will not be damaged.  If storing loose photographs in your Roswell storage unit, place them between sheets of clean cardboard to avoid curling.

Wood Furniture

When storing wood furniture in your Roswell storage unit, spray it with a high quality furniture polish for added protection.  Don’t forget to cover furniture with a tarp, moving cloth or sheet for complete coverage while inside your storage unit in Roswell.

These proper storage techniques will ensure that your items are in perfect condition when you remove them from our Roswell storage location.  Click here for more information about The Storage Neighbor in Roswell.
