The Big Autumn Clean
8th November 2011
We’re sure you’ve heard of the big spring clean where people are supposed to de-clutter their homes after the cold weather has passed and open their house to air. But in reality de-cluttering our homes just once a year isn’t enough to make our living space efficient so we think there’s also a need for the Big Autumn Clean. But we’re not saying that you should be ruthless and throw out everything in sight; we’re just suggesting that there may be some things which can go into storage to create more room in your home. Here are a few thoughts:
Clothing – It’s unlikely you’re going to need your shorts, summer t-shirts or beach wear during the autumn and winter months so clear some space in your wardrobe, cupboards and drawers by packing these away and putting into storage until the spring.
Bedding – Summer weight duvets might not be as bulky as winter weight ones but they’ll still take up valuable space in your house during the winter months. Why not free up the space by putting these in storage for 6 months?
Books and DVDs – There are bound to be loads of books and DVDs in your house that you want to keep long-term but aren’t likely to pick up over the next few months. Clear some space for your Christmas decorations on the shelves by storing these at Cube Self Storage for a while.
Paperwork – We all like to keep important paperwork like bank statements, electricity bills and more for years ‘just-in-case’ we might need them. But there’s no need to store them in your house. Simple box them up and deposit them in self-storage until the time comes that you need them or they can be disposed of.
Baby Items – Whether you’re just between babies and are storing everything for when the next one comes along or whether yours are now well grown the you have things that you want to keep for memory’s sake, there’s no need for these to be taking up room in your attic or garage. They’ll be just as safe, if not more so at Cube Self Storage.
Camping Equipment – Are you likely to be going camping when it’s raining, windy or snowing? The answer is probably not so why do you need to have these items in your home? Pack them away and put them into storage until the camping season starts again.
