Secure and Preserve Your Holiday Decorations: Long-Term Storage Tips

As the festive season approaches, the joy of decorating our homes brings with it a familiar challenge: Where do we store all these decorations once the holidays are over? At A Plus, we understand that your holiday decorations are more than just objects; they are memories and traditions that bring joy year after year. Our mission is to help people who are seeking self-storage solutions specifically for their cherished holiday items. Understanding the Storage Dilemma Many of us face the external problem of limited space at home for storing holiday decorations. This challenge is not just about finding a spot for your decorations; it’s about preserving the joy and spirit they embody without turning your home into a cluttered space. Internally, this leads to stress and frustration, as managing this clutter can dampen the festive spirit. We at A Plus recognize the sentimental value of your holiday decorations. We know they are not just ornaments or lights; they are pieces of your cherished holiday memories. That’s why we offer flexible, economical, and versatile storage solutions. Our facilities are designed to keep your treasured decorations safe and accessible, year after year.

Practical Tip

When it comes to delicate ornaments, the right packing and storage techniques are crucial. We recommend using specific materials like bubble wrap or tissue paper to wrap each ornament individually. For extra safety, place them in sturdy, compartmentalized boxes. At A Plus, our climate-controlled units ensure that your delicate items are protected from temperature fluctuations and humidity, which can be detrimental to their longevity.

 

For those who cherish their holiday ornaments and seek a secure place to store them, we invite you to explore now our range of storage units, designed to cater to your every need.

Solutions for Bulky Items and Decor Maintenance

Storing bulky holiday items like artificial trees and outdoor displays can often seem like a daunting task. However, at A Plus, we’ve tailored solutions to make this process effortless. Our spacious and secure storage units are designed to accommodate even the largest of holiday decorations. We understand that these items, though large, are integral to your holiday celebrations and require special care.

 

To maximize space, we suggest disassembling parts of these items where possible. For instance, artificial trees can often be broken down into smaller sections. Utilize vertical space by standing these items upright and consider shelving options for smaller components. Our units come in various sizes, ensuring that you have just the right amount of space without paying for unused square footage.

 

If you’re struggling to find space for your larger holiday decorations, don’t compromise by leaving them out in the cold. Reserve your unit today and give your holiday items the home they deserve.

Seasonal Tips for Maintaining Decorations in Storage

Preserving the pristine condition of your holiday decorations while in storage is crucial. At A Plus, we recommend specific strategies to maintain their quality. Firstly, ensure all items are clean and dry before storage to prevent mold and mildew. Wrap lights around cardboard pieces to prevent tangling and use acid-free tissue paper for delicate items.

 

The accessibility and organization of your stored items are paramount. Label all boxes clearly and create an aisle within your unit for easy access. Our storage units are designed for efficient organization, with options for additional shelving to keep things orderly.

 

We understand that loading and unloading decorations can be laborious. That’s why our facilities include wide, well-lit driveways and electronic gate access, making the process as smooth as possible. Plus, with onsite moving supplies, you have everything you need right at your fingertips.

 

Storing your holiday decorations should not be a source of stress. With A Plus, you can rest assured that your festive items are in safe hands, ready to bring joy and celebration year after year.

6 Tips for Long-Term Storage

Let us help you move into your apartment

Planning to store items for an extended period of time? A long-term storage rental might be just what you need. Here are tips to ensure your belongings stay safe and protected for weeks, months, or even years!


Choose the Right Size 

Select a storage unit that fits all of your stuff neatly and without overcrowding. Not sure how much space you need? Don’t worry—our Storage Unit Guide will help you figure it out in three easy steps.


Assess the Type of Storage You Need

Whether that be drive-up, dust-controlled, or climate-controlled storage options, know what type of unit is best for your stored items. Drive-up units may be more affordable, but in most cases, experience fluctuating weather and seasonal conditions. Climate-controlled units are ideal for storing things like electronics, antique furniture, photos, personal documents, or anything else that needs stable temps to prevent fast deterioration. 


Prepare Your Storage Contents

You can do this by investing in quality packing materials such as sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, packing peanuts, and furniture covers for storage protection. And, don’t forget to label and organize the contents in each box or tote. Once your items are inside a storage container, arrange them in your unit by placing the most-accessed items near the front so you can get in and out quickly. 


Arrange Large or Bulky Items 

For things like appliances and furniture, make sure you clean them first. And be sure to disassemble large furniture if possible, with the largest items going towards the back and the heaviest furniture at the bottom. This will save space so you can stack vertically and get the most use of your storage rental.


Know the Property Security Features

Consider choosing a facility with strong security measures such as surveillance cameras, gated access, well-lit driveways, and on-site staff. Be sure to ask questions like, How tall is the perimeter fencing? Or, How many security cameras monitor the property?


Check on Your Storage Regularly

Even for long-term storage, it’s a good idea to visit the unit periodically to inspect your belongings and ensure you are not finding mold, mildew, or unusual wear and tear. Also, we recommend rotating items regularly to maintain their condition.

By following these tips, you can help ensure that your items remain in good condition and are easily accessible, even after extended periods of storage. And luckily, renting a storage unit from A Plus Super Storage is simple. We make it easy with 7 convenient locations and no-hassle month-to-month agreements.

Spring Home Organization Tips

Prepare Your Home and Storage Unit for Spring

If you’re ready to get a jump on organizing your home or prepare for spring cleaning, now is the perfect time to start with those harder to reach places. Attics, basements, garages, coat closets, and even storage units need a refresh at least once a year. You may find sentimental or valuable items you forgot you had. This also gives you a chance to resell or donate things that no longer suit you.  Whether you are starting in the basement or in the attic, there are tried and true methods to help you declutter.

Sort all of your belongings. Make separate keep, discard, and donate piles so you can see how much stays and goes in each space.

Contain it. For everything that stays, find a way to contain it. Label storage bins and containers for easy access. If it doesn’t quite fit in a bin, set it aside to decide where it should go.

Take inventory. If you’re cleaning out a storage unit, make sure to take inventory of everything you have stored. This helps to easily decide which items to discard or donate without spending too much time looking through each box.

Find the right storage space. Now that you have determined what needs to stay, organize your space properly by grouping together holiday items, seasonal tools, or decorations. Make sure items are stacked and stored properly for easy access the next time. Remember those items that didn’t quite fit before? If you’re quickly running out of storage room, consider a storage unit to help make your space bigger, brighter, and decluttered.

And no matter where you are in the decluttering or cleaning stage, think about the future. 

  • Do you need a bigger or smaller unit if you are downsizing your storage items? 
  • Are you planning on selling your home soon? 
  • Will you need a place to store your furniture or bins while your home is on the market? 

Knowing these answers will help your next big move run much smoother by being prepared. If you’re ready to move on to spring cleaning, we have that covered for you here!

testHoliday Storage Guide

Holiday lighting with snow man.

The New Year is in full swing! With a few more weeks of winter ahead it’s a little bit too early to put away your sleds and snow gear. But not for those holiday decorations, gifts, and other items that have accumulated over the holiday season. Do you still have that holiday clutter in and around your home? It’s time to make a plan and get organized!

 

First, say goodbye to lights or decorations that either does not work or no longer suit your decorating style. This will help free up space for things that matter most. Plus, keeping things that will get used in the next season makes decorating faster with less waste. You’ll thank yourself later, we promise.

 

Next, knowing how to pack and what to store everything in is super important. We took the guessing out for you and compared totes versus boxes in terms of environmental impact, cost, and which one is best for moving and storage.  

 

Now that things are packed up, you may have larger decorations that didn’t quite fit in a container. Taking a look around your closets and garage, it might look like a full house already. So what do you do? If you’re not ready to jump into spring cleaning, consider a storage unit for your temporary or long-term storage needs.

 

For your convenience, storage units come in a variety of sizes so you can find something that’s just the right size for what you need now. You can choose between cost-effective drive-up, dust-controlled, or climate-controlled storage options on a month-to-month basis.

testCar Winter Storage Tips 

If you’re looking to park your car for the next couple of winter months, these tips are for you. The right storage prep is important to extend the life of your vehicle and help avoid potentially costly repairs when you’re ready to rev up again in the spring. 

So, what matters most when it comes to winter storage for your car? Location! Knowing your storage options is the first step. A climate-controlled facility is ideal for worry-free winter storage. Things like rodents, car covers, and vehicle security aren’t going to be a concern in a climate-controlled storage unit. Most average sedans will fit in a 10×20 storage unit. For a larger vehicle, look for unit sizes that go all the way up to 20×20. 

Comparable to garage space, outdoor storage units with drive-up access are incredibly popular due to their convenient accessibility. You can pull your vehicle right up to the storage unit.

No matter what you choose for winter car storage, here are a few prep steps to check off.

  • Wash and wax the interior and exterior of your vehicle. 
  • Place a garage mat underneath your vehicle to catch any fluid leaks from staining the concrete. 
  • Auto mechanics and professionals recommend topping off the fluids in your vehicle, starting with antifreeze. 
  • Fill up your fuel tank before storing it for the winter months and consider adding a fuel stabilizer. 
  • It is recommended to change the oil in a vehicle that will be out of use for a while. 
  • Clean and wash your tires, too, and make sure they are fully inflated to the recommended psi.
  • A car cover protects your newly cleaned and waxed vehicle from dirt, dust, and other winter elements or critters from scratching your paint.

We’re your experts in storage, so be sure to check with a car professional for their advice before you park for an extended period of time. With A Plus Super Storage, we can have you cruising in no time with safe, secure, and protected vehicle storage. We have a stellar reputation in the Lubbock community. Any of our onsite managers are more than happy to answer any storage-related questions you may have. Give us a shout today!
