To Maximize Space

Use Shelving Units

For small or awkward-shaped items, using shelving units can save space while staying organized.

Stack According to Weight

Heavy items on the bottom and smaller boxes on top. This will keep your items from being crushed.

Disassemble Large Items

Items such as tables and beds should be taken apart and screws can be kept in a sandwich bag.

Fill Up Boxes

To Keep Out Pests

Use Dryer Sheets

You can use dryer sheets in the corners of your unit to cover smells, but we recommend changing them every 30 days.

avoid storing items in plastic bags

Avoid Plastic Bags

Not only are plastic bags thin and easily penetrated, but they also lock in moisture which can lead to mold.

Storing A Vacuum?

Make sure the vacuum bag is completely empty. Accidentally storing old food may bring unwanted guests.
