How Do I Prepare My Belongings for Climate Controlled Storage?

If you’re planning to store your belongings in a self- storage space, it’s important to choose one that offers climate controlled storage. Storage facilities that are not climate controlled can expose your belongings to extreme temperatures and humidity, which can cause significant damage. Climate controlled storage facilities maintain a consistent temperature and humidity level, which helps to protect your belongings.

There are some recommended steps you should take if you plan to rent storage. Let’s take a look at how you can prepare your belongings to be moved to an indoor storage space.

Give Them a Good Cleaning

Cleaning all of your belongings before storing them helps prevent dirt and dust from accumulating in your climate controlled storage space. If you’re storing clothing, be sure to launder or dry clean everything before you pack it away. Other items should be thoroughly dusted and wiped down with a damp cloth.

Carefully Pack Everything

Once everything is clean, it’s time to start packing. Be sure to use sturdy plastic bins with lids or sturdy cardboard boxes. It’s also a good idea to wrap delicate items in bubble wrap or other protective material before packing them away.
