Storage is a great way to save space and remove clutter, but here are some items that do not belong in a storage unit. If you think of storage units can be used for personal dumping ground where anything and everything goes, think again. Here is a list of items we recommend not storing in your storage unit.
- Perishables – Perishables are food items that can become expired. While we know you do not plan on storing refrigerated items but some people have stored other types of food items before. Items like canned food seem like a good idea but due to their expiration they can become unseen or forgotten.
- Gas powered items – Though storage can be the perfect place for your gas powered items, they can start to become caustic or poisonous. If you plan on storing these items, make sure to keep away from the other items you want to store.
- Medicine – Typically if you want to store medicine a climate controlled storage units are the perfect place for you, but it can be like the perishable items. They can start to become bad and make the medicine unusable.
- Plants – You can store fake plants but when it comes to real plants the different seasons, airflow, and no sunlight can cause the plants to die. If someone gives you a plant as a gift, make sure that the plant is fake before storing it in your storage unit.
