Simple Solutions for the Pack Rat in You
Don't De-clutter, Create Space
Even if you don't consider yourself a pack rat, belongings can overflow homes and take up valuable space. If you don't have much storage space, or if your attic, basement, and garage are filled to capacity, it may be a good time to create space and become organized.
Rather than using your "extra rooms" as permanent storage facilities, think about what you could do with that space if you had another solution. Have you ever wanted a room for a home gym, an arts-and-crafts work table, or children's study desk? Well, you may not have to move to a bigger home to solve your problem. The answer may be as simple as finding a flexible, secure, and convenient storage solution offered by a portable storage and moving company.
Simplify Life, Don't Throw Away Your Memories
Cleaning up and clearing out unnecessary junk is an important part of the Spring Clean. But, sometimes you don't want to get rid of everything just because you don't use it regularly. Heirlooms, collections, and other possessions with sentimental value shouldn't be thrown away if you are not ready or willing. Keep your grandmother's fine china, antique vanity table, and your collection of model cars. But, don't clutter up your garage and attic. Live simply and reduce stress by considering other alternatives. Enlisting the assistance of a portable storage and moving company may be the solution to help you keep your memories protected, accessible and out of the house.
Here are some tips to begin the process of clearing out the clutter.
1.) Go room-by-room
2.) Set aside a couple of hours
4.) Make quick decisions - Trash, Sell/Give Away, or Store
5.) Have a trash bag ready
6.) Focus on surfaces first, and then open cabinets and drawers
7.) Call a portable storage company to deliver your storage container
8.) Place an ad to hold your garage sale
9.) Create a plan to prevent the build-up in the future
Making The Call
A de-cluttered home is a phone call away. Here is how it works:
1.) Call one of the leading portable storage and moving companies to have a storage container delivered to your home.
2.) Fill it at your convenience - take a day, a week, a month, or as long as you desire.
3.) When you are ready, the container is taken to a secure, climate-controlled warehouse.
4.) If you need to access your belongings, the container can be re-delivered to your home within 24 hours, or you can visit the warehouse yourself.
5.) You can have the container moved locally or anywhere in the country if you decide to relocate.
Following these simple suggestions will give your inner pack rat a clean start and help to simplify and de-stress your life.
