Decluttering your storage unit can feel overwhelming and confusing. Depending on the size of your storage unit it might take even a couple of days to declutter and organize. People are often confused about how often and how to declutter your long term storage in Chelsea. Should you do it once a year or often? How to know when is the right time to declutter? What factors should you consider when deciding?

Before you declutter your long term storage in Chelsea – what is clutter for you?

Not all people look the same way at this. For example, you hired Chelsea movers and you moved, but you rented a long term storage unit for the items that you don’t need in your home. You rotate the items from the storage with the ones in your home – holiday decorations, winter clothes, etc. Those items are not cluttering, but if they are not organized they might look like that. But if you have items that you don’t need and you didn’t use them in the last couple of years – that is definitely cluttered. So before you start decluttering a long term storage unit in Chelsea make sure to determine what is clutter for you.

How to know when is the time to declutter?

Naturally, a storage unit can not look really tidy all the time. So how can you know for certain when is the time to declutter your long term storage in Chelsea? Well, there are some clear signs that it is time to declutter and make your storage unit nice and tidy. It is important that you can access your belongings with ease, especially in long term storage NYC. The best time to declutter your long term storage unit in Chelsea is:

  • When your storage unit seems too small. If you rented a big storage unit, and it starts to feel cramped inside  – it is time to declutter it
  • When you simply have too many things in your storage unit. We know that storage unit is always almost full, but there is a difference when you simply have a full storage unit and when you have too many items in it
  • When you can’t access or find things that you need. This is a clear sign that you need to declutter your long term storage in Chelsea.

What is the best time to declutter your long term storage in Chelsea?

The best thing that you can do is to plan to declutter in advance. If you know that your storage unit is messy and that you need to declutter it – plan in advance. So, the best time to declutter is during the spring or fall. It is not too hot or too cold. Also, you can pack your winter clothes in spring and switch them with summer clothes in storage. Also, people often tend to feel energized during the spring after the cold winter. So, you will have much more energy and you will probably have a lot of ideas on how to declutter. Ideally  – you should declutter long term storage units at least twice a year. Once during spring and once in the fall. That way, you will always have a clean and tidy storage unit.

Create an inventory list

One of the best things that you could do is to create an inventory list every time you declutter your long term storage unit. That way you will always keep track of all the items you have in storage. Write down where you can find them when you stored them. That way you will also be able to track how long you didn’t use the item in question. If you didn’t take it out of storage longer than 2 or 3 years – it is time to throw it away. Also, if you decide to move – you will have a clear list of the items you need to relocate. You will be able to get a more accurate estimate from Divine Moving and Storage NYC. We will be able to offer you an estimate that is accurate and without any hidden costs. 

Cleaning your storage is equally important

When we talk about decluttering we need to talk about cleaning as well. Cleaning a storage unit is equally important. You need to keep your items clean, even if you move them from one storage unit to another. Keep it simple -use clothes and wipes and make sure to clean all the dust. After all, if you decide to stop renting a storage unit you will have clean items ready to be used. Also by keeping everything clean you ensure that your belongings will last longer.

Why it is important to declutter your long term storage in Chelsea?

We understand that it can be challenging to start decluttering your storage unit. You don’t see it or use it often, so naturally, we tend to put that off for a long time. And of course, there are different reasons why you have clutter in the first place. But a clean and decluttered long term storage unit in Chelsea will bring you a lot of positive things. First of all, it will bring you peace of mind knowing that it is clean and that your items are clean. Also, it will be much easier to get your belongings from a clean and tidy unit. And you will feel better once you decluttered and cleaned everything. You will feel energized and ready to tackle whatever is next on your list!
