The Benefits of and Best Ways To Store Your Child’s Clothes in a Rental Unit

Do you need somewhere to store your child's old clothes? Whether your child has seasonal selections they won't wear until next year, one-size-up items they'll wear in the future, or older clothes that are still in pristine condition, take a look at what you need to know about the benefits of self-storage and how to choose or use a rental unit.

While you might rent the unit primarily to store your child's clothing, you can also use it for almost anything else. The benefits of self-storage extend to storing your child's toys, your own clothing, excess furniture, holiday decor, and just about anything else.

What Should You Store In A Rental Unit?

·  Items you want to hand down. Stash anything that you may hand down to a younger child or a relative in a rental unit.

·  Items you want to sell. Will you sell your child's gently used clothing to a second-hand shop or list them online? Keep these profit-worthy picks safe and away from art supplies, your child's muddy hands, or anything else when you pack them into storage.

·  Items that your child isn't ready to wear. Did a friend or family member gift you with clothing that is one size up or larger? If your child won't wear the item for months or even years, store it for now.

·  Items that are seasonal. Is your child’s mittens, hat, or swimsuit more appropriate for next season? If your child won't outgrow the item within the next year, store it until the next season.

You can also store excess or overflow items that your child could or does wear right now. Instead of packing their dresser drawers to the top or hanging the extra items in your closet, use a storage rental. This strategy allows you to rotate your child's clothing, organize their belongings, and make their wardrobe more manageable.

How Can You Store a Child's Clothing in a Rental Unit?

The better you plan and pack for storage, the more likely it is that your child's clothing will stay neat and tidy. To safely and securely store your child's clothing in a storage rental:

·  Wash and dry everything. Remove stains and debris (such as food) before you store anything. Stains could set while the clothing is in storage and food particles could attract pests to the rental.

·  Use wardrobe boxes. These movable closets reduce wrinkles and can help you to organize everything.

·  Label everything. Label boxes, bins, and bags, with the size, type of clothing, or season to make things easier for yourself when it comes time to retrieve those clothing items.

·  Make an inventory. This master list will help you to keep track of everything in storage.
