\"Spring<\/a>Spring has sprung which means out with the old, in with the new! But living in a dorm or apartment sometimes makes it hard to find room for the new. Solution to this problem: storage! Whether it’s under-your-bed storage or a self storage unit, the more room the merrier.<\/p>\n

More Room, More Clothes<\/h3>\n

Are you running out of room to hang up those new,\u00a0cute summer dresses? Then it is time to put those winter faux fur and pleather jackets away in storage<\/a>.\u00a0After each season, you can pack the clothes you no longer need in\u00a0space bags<\/a>\u00a0and place them underneath your bed to make more room in your closet. All you have to do is fold them nicely, place them in a the space bags and suck all the air out with a vacuum. Taking the air out of the bags creates more room for storage.\"Spring<\/a><\/p>\n

Seasonal Clutter<\/h3>\n

Seasonal gear can add a lot of clutter to your garage and house. The best way to store those snowboarding boots, skis and snow jackets is to put them in a self-storage unit. It is a common misconception that storage units are only needed if you need to store 2 beds, a couch and all of your grandmother’s heirlooms. Self-storage units come in all shapes and sizes, some as small as lockers!<\/p>\n

Deep Cleaning Your Home<\/h3>\n

Now that you have stored away your seasonal clutter it is time to do the cleaning part of spring cleaning! This is not the time to just vacuum and dust; you must deep clean every corner of your home. Don’t be overwhelmed by all the tasks you have to do around the whole house; deep clean room by room and check off tasks on the list below once you have completed them:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • vacuum couches<\/li>\n
  • wash baseboards<\/li>\n
  • dust off light fixtures<\/li>\n
  • clean vent and fans<\/li>\n
  • deep clean refrigerator<\/li>\n
  • clean gutters<\/li>\n
  • shampoo carpet<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Don’t forget to properly store your cleaning chemicals away from children and pets after using them. Also, be prepared for allergies after dusting everything off and remember to give yourself a few breaks to eat a healthy snack or quick trip to get fast food.\u00a0Once you are done, step back and give yourself a pat.
