It’s never too early to start thinking about putting
away all those beautiful decorations you’ve just put into place. Wouldn’t you
just love to organize your holiday decorations for storage this year so that
next year’s decorating is quick, easy and fun? Here are some handy tips to help
you do just that!
1. Safe
candle storage. Wrap candles in old socks or
stockings to prevent scratching. Store candles in a climate controlled Budget Self Storage unit to prevent melting.
2. The
dinner party has ended. Pack holiday
napkins, tablecloths, towels etc. in a suitcase to reduce the risk of moisture
damage. Don’t forget to include moth balls to keep away pests.
3. Saying
goodbye to the tree. Sure your
artificial tree came in a box that seems like the perfect one to repack it in,
but cardboard boxes begin to deteriorate after sitting for long periods of
time. Look into investing in a tree bag to keep your decoration looking fresh
year after year.
4. Those
tins aren’t just for cookies! Store items that
require special protection, such as handmade items, in empty Christmas cookie
tins. The hard sides of the tins protect your precious items from getting
accidentally crushed in storage.
5. Dispose
of the damaged ones. Make sure to get
rid of any Christmas lights that aren’t working properly. You will save
yourself storage space and hassle next time you need them.
6. Label that first box. Label the first box to be opened next holiday. For
example, this box could contain your advent calendar, tree stand, Menorah, or
anything you need at the beginning of the Holiday season.
Budget Self
Storage wishes you happy packing and a safe new year!
