Cleaning Clutter: The Power Of Storage Units In Spring Cleaning Routines

It is the perfect time of year to start spring cleaning! Clearing clutter and getting rid of unused items are tasks that can be completed during spring cleaning and make your home more user-friendly. During your spring cleaning routine, you can utilize a storage unit to help make your home feel larger or store items that you don’t use all year round. 700 Block Storage offers different-sized units to help those needing more long-term storage and those clearing out during spring cleaning. 

Why Spring Cleaning Is Beneficial

There can be many benefits of spring cleaning, but the biggest one is allowing you to have a clean living space that is more usable. Large items or a plethora of small items can take over your home easily. Cleaning your living environment can also help improve mood and heighten motivation. Taking the time during the spring for decluttering will save you time and stress later in the year. 

Rent Your Unit Before You Need It

Before you begin emptying your house, you should have a storage unit ready to go. Renting your storage unit a few weeks beforehand will ensure you can access it easily and move your belongings in when it is most convenient for you. 

With month-to-month leases, 700 Block Storage helps you to have a storage unit when you need it most, and cancel when you don’t. There is no hassle in the reservation process as you can reserve and pay for your unit through our website. Typically, you can rent a unit from our facility and store your items the next day. 

Cleaning Clutter From The Garage

One place in your home that can collect a lot of junk is the garage. During your spring cleaning routine, make sure to go through items in your garage. It can be helpful and less overwhelming to separate items into 4 categories, garbage, donate, sell, and keep. This will help you know exactly what items can easily be thrown away and what you still use consistently. 

In your sell category, you can include a section of what items can be stored in your storage unit, and what can be left in the garage. This will give you more space to move around in the garage or work on projects. 

Create A Map Of Your Unit

If you are utilizing your storage unit to help remove clutter from your home, it needs to be organized so that you can easily access your belongings. Once you have completed spring cleaning, organize your unit with large appliances in the back and upcoming seasonal items near the front. No matter how you stack it, creating a map with quadrants can prevent frustration later. 

A map of the unit doesn’t need to include a list of every single item that is in the unit, but rather just an overview of what type of items are in a specific area (eg. clothes, Christmas decor, sporting equipment, kitchen supplies, toys, etc.)

Have More Useable Space In Your Home

Utilizing organization techniques and using a storage unit in spring cleaning routines can improve your home. Having a cluttered space can impact your mood and productivity levels. Removing large items or clutter can help you rearrange your current setup to feel more open. Open spaces with limited items on the floor can make a space feel more relaxing.

Spring cleaning makes it easier to host, relax after work, and spend time doing your favorite hobbies. Your home should be a place of refugee and not a place where you see constant mess.
