How A Self-Storage Unit Will Help You Spring Clean

Self storage rental East Anglia - spring cleaning

Once winter is finally over, many people’s thoughts turn to spring cleaning their home. Here, Hamiltons Removals looks at the history of spring cleaning and how renting out a self-storage unit can help make it so much simpler.

The History of the Spring Clean

The practice of spring cleaning has deep roots. Some believe the tradition began as part of the Persian New Year, while others link it back to the Jewish tradition of preparing the house for the festival of Passover. Here in the UK, spring cleaning involved opening up the windows to freshen air in the house after winter, when open fires caused an accumulation of soot and dust.

While most homes now use central heating, the practice of spring cleaning is still common in the UK. It may not be done yearly now but most people feel the need at least every few years, and often as part of a wider declutter.

Self Storage Clears Covered Surfaces

If you’d like to spring clean your home, putting your belongings into self-storage while you tackle it makes the job so much easier. Instead of constantly moving items from one room to another while you clean and wait for surfaces to dry, you can clean everywhere in one go.

If you’re redecorating or deep cleaning carpets, self-storage for bulky items of furniture can be particularly helpful. Our furniture storage units are ideal for people living in Diss, Bungay, Beccles and the surrounding area, allowing customers to move and collect their items whenever is most convenient for them. Placing them securely in storage also helps avoid the risk of damage from paint or cleaning materials.

Make it Part of an Overall Declutter

Whether you’ve been inspired by decluttering mogul Marie Kondo or just want to reorganise your living space, putting items into self-storage can help you decide what to keep and what to let go of.

Items you’re sure you no longer want or need can be sold on internet auction sites, donated to friends, family or charity, or taken to your local household waste recycling centre. However, if there are items you’re unsure about, putting them in storage can help you with the decision process. If you find you miss something, you know you should keep it. But if you don’t miss something at all, and prefer the increased living space, you’ll know it can go for good.  

Make it Part of a Seasonal Swap-Around

Some things are only useful at certain times of the year and self-storage units enable you to move items winter items out of the way while bringing spring and summer items back as part of your spring clean.

Winter clothing, for example, can be safely stored away and summer clothing brought out. Christmas and Halloween decorations, fireside accessories and winter sports gear can also go into your storage unit while patio furniture, electric fans and gardening tools can come out.
