Whistle While You Work

Spring is a beautiful time of year. Warmth, flowers, birds singing, allergies, the end of school, rain showers, etc. It is no accident that it is linked with cleaning. After a winter of being indoors and staying warm, you want to stretch and air out your life. Spring is just the time to do that. Here are some things to keep in mind as you spruce up your home, and how AA-1 Storage can be of service to you in this endeavor!

Declutter

Before you do anything, declutter! We’ve talked about this before and it can never be emphasized enough. You can’t organize your life if your life is full of clothes you haven’t worn in 3 years, old magazines, and piles of Heaven-knows-what. Yes, I am talking particularly to you, Mr. Garage. With the warmer weather and a Saturday or two dedicated to organization and aided by the company of your favorite cold beer, you can spread out as you clear your garage. Decide what stays, what is given away or sold, and what perhaps may need to go to a storage unit.

Switch Winter to Summer

Unless you are blessed to live in Hawaii, you have two different sets of wardrobe: Cold Weather and Hot Weather. Now is the time to pull your summer clothes out and wash them and put your winter clothes in storage. Also, your heavy duty comforters can be put away. Not only that, but your winter tools and handy items such as a snow blower, shovels, skis, sleds, and coats, hats and gloves can be put away.

Why Choose a Storage Unit

The first place for storage is always thought to be the highest and/or lowest points of our homes. An unfinished basement and an attic are the “go-to” rooms for storage. But, this should not be the case. Extreme temperature and humidity fluctuations can cause harm to our possessions. It prematurely ages paper (if you like to save old letters, newspapers, or school notes) and can damage our furniture. Not only that, but pests and rodents need to eat something! Definitely not a desirable way to store our belongings. For this reason, we provide temperature controlled units for your possessions. They’ll be securely housed in a stable environment.

Take a look at the sizes of units we offer to see what works for you. If you are unsure the size unit you need, we are happy to talk with you and help you figure out what is needed. Give us a call at (973) 823-9090 to talk about your storage needs!
