Post-Holiday Storage Guide: Smartly Storing Your Christmas Decorations
As the last echoes of Christmas carols fade and the festive season winds down, it’s time to think about the less glamorous, but equally important, task of storing your Christmas decorations. Doing this right ensures that your cherished decorations remain in perfect condition, ready to spread joy again next year. Here’s a step-by-step guide from A Plus Super Storage to help you with this task.
Step 1: Assess and Organize
Start by taking stock of your decorations. Sort them into categories like lights, baubles, wreaths, and figurines. It’s also a good time to decide what you might want to donate or discard. Remember, decluttering is as much a part of the post-holiday process as storage.
Step 2: Clean and Prep
Gently clean your decorations before storing them. This step is crucial for items like artificial trees or outdoor lights that may have gathered dust or debris. A clean start next year makes for an even brighter festive season.
Step 3: Safe Packing
Invest in quality storage containers. For delicate ornaments, consider compartmentalized boxes. Wrap lights around cardboard to prevent tangling and use tissue paper or bubble wrap for extra fragile items.
Step 4: Utilize Smart Storage Solutions
Here’s where A Plus Super Storage can elevate your storage experience. Consider our climate-controlled storage units for temperature-sensitive decorations like candles or vintage items. These units maintain a stable environment, protecting your treasures from extreme temperatures and humidity.
