We don’t want to alarm you, but clutter can be a scary, scary thing. Improper storage of your items can be just as terrifying. Don’t believe us? Just wait until you hear these stories. So turn the lights off grab your teddy bear and settle in for a few hair-raising tales of chaos, clutter, and storage redemption.

The Tale of Disappearing Furniture.

After returning home from an extended say abroad, a woman promptly made a visit to her self-storage unit to retrieve her cherished possessions and begin her life anew. She had just purchased a new home and was looking forward to filling it with familiar furniture and things. The air in her storage unit was stale and a chill ran down her back. She slowly walked into the unit, not able to determine what was wrong. Everything was there, but everything looked different. She gingerly lifted a small bedside table and it completely disintegrated in her hands, disappearing into thin air. A scream resounded throughout the unit as she realized all her items were covered in… mold.

A temperature controlled unit would have saved this woman a lot of heartache. Properly storing furniture and items, by placing a plastic sheet on the floor underneath, will also help ensure your stuff is protected from dampness. See more helpful tips to avoid this nightmare here.

The Purge.

Stacks of magazines, boxes of books, old car parts, things that had long been forgotten littered the man’s garage. The sound of his mother’s voice resounded in his head, taunting him about the mess. Day after day he would attack the chaos, labeling, sorting, boxing things up. But no matter how hard he tried the mess kept growing, more things would be added. No matter how hard he tried he was never free, never able to fit his car in his garage. One day the man’s wife went to check on him, but he was nowhere to be found. It was not until years later, when his wife finally sold the house did they find his skeletal remains under a huge pile of clutter.

Organizing clutter is a bit of a contradiction. No one has unlimited space and resources so you will never be free of clutter unless you purge what you no longer use and throw away what is trash. Items that you want to save but do not have room for can be kept in your self-storage unit. We have a variety of unit sizes that can fit your needs and prevent this sad fate.

We hope we didn’t frighten you too much, but let this blog be a lesson. Heed our warnings and take care not to let these things happen to you.
