Lots A Storage Self Storage Inverloch spaces give you enough space and security for clothes you don’t often use or are off-season. Let’s get you started on the decluttering process.

Clean Out your Closet

Take everything out of your wardrobe and pile them up in your room for sorting. Get two boxes to ditch in what you would love to discard and what you would like to keep in the Self Storage Inverloch. Label these two boxes to avoid a mix-up. You will also have a separate pile of commonly used clothes that you can hang back in the closet.

Separate them Into Piles

We understand that you are probably attached to some of these items that your body or style could have outgrown. However, part of the decluttering process means going hard on the discards and clutter you’ve stored over the years. You could ask yourself these questions to help you choose what to keep in your closet, what to take to your Self Storage Inverloch and what to discard or donate.

  • Do you love it?
  • How often do you wear it?
  • Does it still fit you?
  • Has it suffered any damages such as stains, wear or tear?
  • If you came across it today at the store, would you buy it?

Re-inspect your Pile

After separating the piles into three, you could go through every collection to see if everything belongs to its pile. You could also sort further the box with discards and donations and separate them further. This should be easy for you. Clothes, shoes and accessories that still look good and new might help someone else in need out there. Place them into a donations’ bag. Discard anything that you wouldn’t wear in public.

Choose a Self Storage Unit

Now that you have a clear picture of what kind of clutter you have and what needs to go into Self Storage Inverloch, you may begin searching for an ideal unit. Let the quantity of clothes in the “keep” boxes and your budget lead you to the right storage unit.

Invest in a movable wardrobe and transparent plastic storage totes

Plastic offers better protection for your clothes against humidity, mould, pests and insects. You could add a desiccant pack to each plastic tote before sealing. Look for self storage units that are dark to increase your chances of maintaining your clothes in mint conditions.

Inspect your Belongings Regularly
