Plan Before You Clean

Diving into the cleaning process without a strategic plan is not a good idea. Before anything else, think of a plan for your storage unit. A well-thought-out plan will make the process smooth and effective as it can identify where to start and where to finish.

Pull Everything Out

Before you start cleaning, take everything out of your storage unit. This helps you see exactly what you have and what condition it’s in. With a clear view of all your items, it’s easier to sort, clean, and plan your next steps.

Break It Down – Keep, Donate or Toss

Since each item is out, it’s time for some soul-searching moment. Separate items into categories to distinguish what stays and what goes:  

  • Keep: These are items that you still use and that are valuable.
  • Donate: These items have not been used for a long time. Consider donating them to local charities or holding a garage sale.
  • Toss: These are expired, broken, and rusty items that will only take up space in your storage unit if you don’t throw them.

Clean Your Storage Unit

If you have categorized all the items, you may dive into cleaning. Start by dusting off and wiping shelves and sweeping and mopping the floor. Also, check for any indications of moisture and pests. By cleaning self-storage, you can keep your belongings in good condition.

Organize Your Storage Unit

After cleaning your storage unit, you should rearrange and organize your belongings. Use storage bins and label them for accessibility. 

Stay On Track – Schedule Visits

Make it a habit to visit and clean your storage unit every few months. A slight upkeep throughout the year will make the following year’s spring cleaning more efficient.
