Spring Cleaning: How Self Storage Can Help You Declutter Your Home

Spring cleaning; it’s a love-hate relationship, wouldn’t we all agree? On the one hand, there’s the satisfaction of a freshly organised home; on the other, the chaos of sorting through piles of stuff you forgot you even owned. The perfect time for a fresh start can quickly turn into an afternoon of staring at an overflowing wardrobe, wondering how you accumulated so many scarves. 

That’s where self storage comes in. Instead of cramming winter clothing, holiday decorations, and snow gear into every available nook and cranny, why not store seasonal items elsewhere? With extra storage space, your home stays clutter-free, and spring cleaning becomes a much smoother process. 

Decluttering for spring is easier with a self storage unit. And if you’re wondering where to start, Yeti Self Storage (yes, like the legendary snow creature, but with better customer service) is here to help!

How Self Storage Helps With Spring Decluttering 

Spring cleaning is the perfect opportunity to declutter your home and create a stress-free, organised living space. But let’s be honest for a minute; finding room for everything can feel impossible. This is where our self storage solutions come in handy. 

Instead of wrestling bulky winter clothing into tight wardrobes or attempting to shove your snow gear under the bed, you can store seasonal items in a secure storage space until you actually need them again. 

This simple shift makes it easier to move through your home, clean effectively, and enjoy the season without being surrounded by things you don’t need for the next six months. Plus, let’s be real; do you really need your Christmas tree staring at you in April? 

Top Items to Store During Spring Cleaning 

Not sure what to move into storage? Start with the biggest space-hoggers. 

Winter Clothing 

Thick coats, chunky boots, and woolly scarves take up a ridiculous amount of space. Storing them in vacuum-sealed bags inside a self storage unit keeps them safe and out of the way until the temperatures drop again. 

Holiday Decorations 

Brussels loves Christmas markets, but you don’t need fairy lights tangled around your dining chairs all year. Pack away your holiday decorations in clearly labelled boxes and store them until the festive season returns. 

Snow Gear 

Whether you’re skiing in the Ardennes or heading to the Alps, snow gear is essential; but only for a few months of the year. Instead of tripping over ski boots in July, keep them in storage space until winter rolls around again. 

Other Seasonal Items 

Spring cleaning isn’t just about indoor spaces. If your garden tools and outdoor furniture are cluttering your home during winter, a self storage unit is the perfect solution. Store them safely, then retrieve them when the sun decides to shine (which, let’s be honest, in Belgium, could take a while). 

10 Tips to Optimise Your Self Storage Space 

Packing a self storage unit isn’t the same as stuffing a closet and hoping for the best. Here’s how to make the most of your storage space: 

1. 1. Choose the Right Unit Size: Yeti Self Storage offers a variety of unit sizes, so pick one that fits your needs without overpaying for unused space. 

2. 2. Label Everything Clearly: Unless you enjoy mystery boxes, label each bin for quick and easy retrieval. 

3. 3. Use Clear Bins When Possible: Transparent storage boxes let you see what’s inside without opening every single one. 

4. 4. Stack Efficiently: Heaviest items at the bottom, lighter ones on top. You’re not building a game of Jenga. 

5. 5. Create Aisles: If you need to access stored items regularly, leave small walkways to avoid playing storage-unit Tetris. 

6. 6. Use Shelving Units: Vertical storage is your friend. Stack smartly to free up space. 

7. 7. Protect Fragile Items: Wrap delicate things in bubble wrap or blankets so they survive storage in one piece. 

8. 8. Vacuum-Pack Seasonal Clothing: Less bulk equals more room for everything else. 

9. 9. Keep Frequently Used Items Near the Front: Don’t bury your spring picnic gear under a pile of Christmas decorations. 

10. 10. Take Inventory: A simple list of stored items prevents future frustration when you’re searching for that one missing ski glove. 

How to Choose the Right Storage Space for Your Needs 

Not all storage units are created equal. Picking the right one depends on: 

• What you’re storing: Bulky furniture? A few boxes? Yeti Self Storage offers a variety of unit sizes to fit your needs.
• How often you need access: If you’ll be in and out frequently, opt for a conveniently located unit with easy access.
