Why Bluffdale residents choose local storage units

• Convenience: A storage unit in Bluffdale keeps trips short—perfect for rotating seasonal gear or grabbing an item between errands.
• Speed: Drive-up access and nearby locations make loading and unloading fast, so storage becomes a tool, not a hassle.
• Protection: Climate-controlled units protect furniture, photos, and instruments from temperature swings and humidity that can occur seasonally in the area.

Smart steps to reclaim your space

Define the goal

Sort and purge before you store

• Sort into keep, donate/sell, and store piles. If you haven’t used something in 12–24 months, consider letting it go rather than paying to store it long-term.
• Sell or donate items in good condition; storing everything is expensive and can lead to future clutter.

Pick the right unit type and size

• 5×5: Small boxes and seasonal items.
• 5×10: Studio-level contents or several large bins.
• 10×10: Contents of a one-bedroom—good for furniture you want out of the way.
• 10×20: Multi-room needs or major furniture sets.

Pack and load for access and longevity

• Clean and dry everything before storing to deter pests and mildew.
• Use uniform boxes for easier stacking and label every side with the contents and room name. Keep a digital inventory (photo + list) for quick searching.
• Leave an aisle: load the unit so frequently used items are at the front. Create a center aisle to access the back without unpacking the entire unit.
• Use shelving and pallets: get boxes off the floor and use vertical space to increase capacity and protect against accidental water.

Protect valuables and seasonal gear

• Wrap fragile items in blankets or bubble wrap; use mattress covers and furniture blankets to prevent dust and scratches.
• Prepare outdoor gear: clean and dry bikes, kayaks, and skis before storing. Loosen ski bindings and slightly deflate bike tires for long-term stays.
• Photograph high-value items and keep receipts and serial numbers in cloud storage for insurance.
