  • Rent a large enough unit to be able to easily access all your items
  • Clean all items before placing them in self storage to avoid bugs and other pests

  • Ceramics should be stored elevated off the ground
  • Artwork should be stored in specifically-designed containers that consider fabric, canvas and paints used
  • Wash, dry, and fold any fabrics before putting them in bins or boxes in self storage units, using vacuum-sealed bags for long-term storage
  • Never store sharp items with soft items like fabrics or stuffed animals
  • Remove any batteries from items and store them separately
