5 Essential Long-Term Storage Tips for a Hassle-Free Experience

 

When you have limited space in your home especially after adding new goods or decluttering, a long-term rental storage unit is usually the best option. Whether you need to store furniture, electrical items, or other seasonal items, proper planning is vital to ensure that your items are safe and in good condition for when you need them.

At SafeStorage we provide secure, safe, and dependable long term storage solutions in Bangalore to suit your needs. Here are some professional tips to help you get the best from your storage.

 

1. Take A Detailed Inventory of Your Stuff

Prior to renting a storage unit make a list of all the items you plan to store. This will help you;

  • Determine what you really want to store
  • Get rid of things you don’t want or need anymore
  • Estimate how much storing space you require

Using the space estimator tools on the SafeStorage website will help you to more accurately estimate your storage needs. Having a detailed inventory will also assist you in keeping organized and help you locate your items quickly and easily if you need them again.

 

2. Choose The Right Size Of Storage Unit

Once you have your inventory completed, the next thing to do is determine the appropriate size of your storage unit. If you rent a unit that is too big you may be paying more than you should, however; if you rent a unit that is too small you may damage your belongings when it's full.

If this is your first time using SafeStorage, we recommend you speak with our staff or use our online space estimator tool to identify the right size of storage unit required to suit your needs. This will help ensure your longer term storage is cost effective and reliable.

 

3. Choose Climate-Controlled Storage

If you need a long-term option, climate-controlled units are ideal. These storage units will keep temperature and humidity levels stable in order to protect your valuables from:

  • Mold and mildew
  • Rust and corrosion
  • Warping or cracking (this is likely for woods and leathers)
  • Damage to electronics and/or sensitive documents

At SafeStorage our climate-controlled storage units in Bangalore are built to protect your possessions from the extreme weather and environmental conditions we may face.

 

4. Carefully Pack Your Items

Carefully packing your items and belongings is essential to avoid any damage to your valuables in long-term storage. Our tips:

  • Use good packing materials
  • Label each box
  • Don't pack things in plastic bags because it may trap moisture inside
  • Disassemble large furniture so you can pack it into small space
  • Wrap fragile items with blankets or bubblewrap etc

For optimum results, you should consult professional packers who understand how to pack items safely for long-term storage.

 

5. Go with Insured Storage Units

Accidents, natural disasters, and unexpected events will happen. That is why choosing insured storage units helps provide necessary peace of mind. Insurance coverage protects your items financially in the case of unforeseen events.
