Storage Tips for our Phoenix Self Storage customers.

• Quantify Your Storage Load.

  Take stock of how big the items are that you need to store when choosing both the size of your self storage unit and a transportation method. Always estimate a bit over in the size unit you’ll need, as it’s best to have too much space than too little. Also consider if you’ll need a moving truck to get your stored items from the storage facility to home, or if a few friends and cars can do the job.

• Clean It Before You Store It.

  To avoid mold and mildew damage to your stored items, especially household appliances, make sure they are clean and dry before being placed in your self storage unit. Run appliances like dishwashers on an empty cycle to remove residue and leave the doors to refrigerators slightly open to allow airflow.

• Consider Storage Insurance.

  First find out if your other insurance, such as car insurance, already protects your stored items. Ask your storage facility if they require insurance, and if they have preferred insurance companies to recommend. Consider private storage insurance if you are storing very valuable or sentimentally important items.
