Spring is here once again, and that means many people will be thoroughly cleaning their homes and getting rid of those things they no longer want or need. From scrubbing floors to going through closets, spring cleaning can be quite a challenge but with a little planning, anyone can be successful. If you’re in the process of going through your home and have items that you want to store elsewhere, EZ Storage® is here to help. Any one of our Philadelphia-area locations can provide you with the perfect storage solution!

Keep or Toss?

dreamstime_xxl_10732244It’s the question that comes up constantly during spring cleaning – do I keep or toss something? If you’re going through your closet, you most likely have clothes you want to keep and those you’d be fine with getting rid of. Donating them to a local charity can be a great way to give back and create more space in your closet. If you’re going through your kitchen and sorting dishes and pots and pans, perhaps your younger sibling or a friend could benefit from some of the items.

Putting Things in Storage

Once you’ve decided what you want to keep, it’s time to decide where to keep those items. You might be rearranging your home as you clean it, and if a certain piece of furniture needs to be put in storage, one of our secure units can keep it safe until you make room for it again next year. If you have seasonal items or clothes, such as Christmas decorations or winter gear, that you need to store until the cold returns, we can keep those things safe as well.

Cleaning Your Storage Unit

There may be boxes you’ve had stored for years, and you know now is the best time to sort through everything. There may be items you’ve been planning to sell for some time, and pulling those boxes out of storage and having a garage sale can be a great way to declutter your storage unit. If you’re renting from EZ Storage®, be sure to ask about shelving units for better organization. That way, the next time you sift through your belongings in storage, you’ll know where everything is!

Spring cleaning isn’t everyone’s favorite chore, but it can definitely help your house feel less cluttered and more comfortable. You don’t have to perform a deep clean where you move every chair or look through every closet, but taking a weekend and deciding what to keep and what to toss can make a big difference. If you have belongings you want to store, or things you want to keep safe for a few months, contact us today. We have multiple locations in Philadelphia and can help you find the perfect storage space at the perfect price. Our monthly leases make it easy to rent self-storage for the time you need, and our staff is always happy to answer any questions you may have.

We look forward to meeting you this spring!
