Take Inventory
Start by making a quick list of what’s in your unit. Noting what you have will help you decide if there’s anything you no longer need or want to reorganize for easier access.  

Refresh Your Space  
Storage units stay clean, but a quick refresh never hurts! Bring a broom or some cleaning wipes to dust off shelves, wipe down boxes, and give everything a fresh feel.  

Rotate Seasonal Items 
Spring is a great time to swap out winter gear for warm-weather essentials. Move holiday decorations and winter coats toward the back and bring out summer clothes, outdoor gear, and gardening tools so they’re easy to grab.  

Enhance Organization
Consider repacking or labeling boxes to make future visits more efficient. Using clear storage bins or adding shelving can also make finding what you need a breeze. Place frequently used items toward the front for added convenience.  

Maximize Your Space 
Make the most of your unit by stacking boxes efficiently, using vertical space, and keeping walkways clear. A little strategic organization now will make your next visit smooth and stress-free.
