I probably have convinced you, my readers, that self storage is a good idea to consider if you are running out of space in your home and if you feel like you don’t want to throw or give away some of your items. You have absolutely the right to feel attached to your belongings even if you haven’t been using them for a while, but you are hoping to do so one day.

Before you hire a self storage unit, make sure that the one you choose is climate controlled. There are some items that might get really damaged if you happen to leave them in a place where humidity is too high. Below are just a few examples of items you might want to be careful with:
1. Electronics. Your valuable electronics are especially prone to being easily damaged in an environment that is not right for them. When the air is too humid, your devices might start “acting up” and even stop working at all if humidity affects them for too long.
2. Clothes. Well, clothes are less prone to damaged compared to electronics, yet too high humidity can cause mold. If there are some outfits you are using only from time to time, make sure that they are stored the right way, or they might lose all their glamor.
3. Furniture, especially the more expensive types. A lot of people store unwanted furniture in storage units, but what they might not realize that doing so not the right way can cause significant damage that might not be as easily reversed or not even reversed at all.
4. Important documents. If you are storing some documents for later use, you might want to do it in such a way so that they are usable again. Some places might even choose not to deal with you anymore if you provide them wtih documents that are too destroyed.

I am aware that there are many things to consider before choosing the right storage unit, but doing so can ensure that you place your belongings in a place that is right for them.
