Winter self-storage
Why rent a storage unit to store your winter belongings? The days are getting longer, the temperatures are rising and so is your mood. Say goodbye to the cold, rainy weather for a few months and enjoy long evening walks, barbecues, and drinks in your garden with friends and family. So it's time for a spring clean, which is often synonymous with decluttering and making space in your home. Over the winter, we tend to accumulate clothes and other items, which can make us feel cramped. The lack of space can become a real problem, but this can be easily solved by renting a self-storage unit to store your winter clothes and other items, and fully enjoy your home during the summer. At MondialBox®, you choose the duration of your rental. If the spring/summer season is not as warm as you had hoped, you can retrieve your belongings whenever you like.
How to prepare your storage space
Summer is just around the corner and your winter belongings won't be needed for several months. This is the time of year when you desperately need to find somewhere to store your excess things and items you've accumulated over the winter, because space in your home is limited. Nowadays, many people rent storage units outside their home so that they don't have to worry about clutter. But before you decide to rent a storage unit, it is important to consider how you will organise your clothes and furniture in these dedicated spaces beforehand. To avoid feeling overwhelmed, it is important to follow certain rules.
Rule number 1: START BY SORTING YOUR WINTER ITEMS
To stay organised, it is important to sort your clothes by category in your storage unit. To put it simply, put coats all together, thick scarves all together, and so on. Think about grouping clothes by category in storage containers, preferably plastic, and use a marker put to write on them what they contain. This will make it easier for you to work out how much storage space you need and the size of the unit you need to rent. The same applies to your ski equipment: remember to use a separate container for each type of equipment: a container just for your ski suits or jackets, for example. For larger items such as ski poles or boots, remember to group them together and keep them at the back of your unit until the following year.
If you've chosen to use cardboard boxes to store your clothes, remember to stack them properly. To prevent your boxes from collapsing and your belongings from getting crushed, place the heaviest boxes on the floor and the lightest on top. Optimising your storage space will allow you to store as many things as possible in your unit while creating space to move around.
At MondialBox®, our self-storage rental solution provides you with units that are accessible on the same level as your vehicle. This makes it easier to load and unload bulky items such as skis or snowboards.
Rule number 2: CLEANING
It's essential to machine-clean or dry-clean your winter clothes before storing them for any length of time. Especially if you want them to be in the same condition as when you arrived. Storing your clothes without washing them for a long time can lead to odours and fabric damage. Uncleaned clothes that contain perfume, lotion or sweat residues can also lead to yellow stains and mould. That's why we advise you to perform this essential step before storing your winter wardrobe in a self-storage unit.
Renting a self-storage unit to keep your winter clothes safe and in good condition
Storing your winter clothes and/or accessories in a self-storage unit is undoubtedly the best way to keep them in perfect condition if you don't have the space in your home. Thanks to our watertight, constantly ventilated units, you won't have to suffer the inconvenience of dampness often experienced in a garage or attic. This storage solution will also prevent dust and/or moths from invading your belongings: a situation that happens more often than you might think, especially in summer.
What's more, you won't have to worry about damage caused by theft or any other intrusion. Our storage units are guaranteed tamper-proof, and are renowned for their ability to store goods in extreme conditions. In addition, all our rental centres have 24/7 video surveillance monitored by a recognised security company. So you can store your winter belongings with peace of mind in our private storage units, secured by a unique code given to you when you sign your rental contract. Don't hesitate to consult our interactive map to find the storage unit centre in your area.
Renting a storage unit to save space in your home
Ski suits, lined boots, goggles, gloves, ski equipment... There are many accessories needed for a winter sports holiday, but they are only useful for a few weeks of the year, then take up space in your home the rest of the time. Storing them in a storage unit will open up the interior of your home and save you a considerable amount of space.
