Put each of your ornament in a separate cup. Store these cups in the container. In this way you can store several Jewelry items without causing slightest damage. You can even re-use same cardboard and cups every year. Or if you choose to add panache, store jewelry in vintage cups!

Store tree in tubes:

Artificial Christmas tree is difficult to store as it acquires lot of space. Here’s a great solution.
Get two tubes, each having a diameter of 9 inches. Now wrap a string of yarn around each layer, shoving half of layers down the tube. Label the layers with numbers on every tube. Roll over these tubes in your garage rafters. A flawless and life-long storage solution for your Christmas tree.

Cardboard Storage boards:

Last but not the least, are cardboard storage pools; easy to create and also easy to recycle! They keep the light strings unattached and therefore spruced up, ready to use. Just take a cardboard, cut the ends as shown and it is ready.

Storing your tools in cold or humid spaces like garage or an open space is an invitation to rust. Also storing tools in metal boxes is a no-no. Instead, store your tools in wooden boxes.

Bonus tip-

Suppose your tool gets wet. Don’t worry. Just ensure you wipe them dry with a towel. Leave the tool somewhere warm and nice so that all its moisture is absorbed.

Sharpening stones to give your tools the required edge-

This completes our TLC mantra. Tools become useless once they lose their edge. Give your worn-out tools the required edge by investing in sharpening stones. Sharpening stones scrapes off the worn-out outer surface, giving a new, sharper blade.

Packing Efficiently For Self - Storage

It can be tempting to dump all the items you do not need in a box and put them in self-storage.  This way, you de-clutter your house and you do not have to worry about the box in storage for a while.

But there is a better way to store items in storage.

If you plan and pack efficiently, you can find and access your stored items at will, whenever you need them.

Here is how you can go about planning and packing items you are going to put in self-storage.

Plan What Goes In Storage:

1) Keep aside the items you plan to put in storage.
2) Prioritize by items that you want to access frequently and those that you might not access that frequently.
3) Pack fragile items separately.
4) Pack heavier and sturdier items at the bottom of the boxes. Lighter and more delicate items can go on top.

In The Storage Unit:

1) If you are storing furniture, then place protection on the floor.
2) Store longer items along the wall of the storage units. Longer items could include: Tabletops, mattresses, and beds.
3) Use vertical space efficiently. Stack boxes of same heights on top of each other. Make sure they are stable when they are stacked so they do not topple.
4) Place heavier items in the boxes that are lower in the stack and more fragile items in the boxes higher up in the stack.
5) Place items you will access frequently near the door.

Moving Items Into Storage:

1) Put items that you will frequently use in the truck first so that they will be stored into the unit last and closest to the door.
2) Empty cupboards, beds, drawers when you are moving the items to storage.
3) Cover bigger furniture items with blankets to protect them from scratching when moving. Keep the blankets on while in storage.

Other Things To Keep In Mind:

1) Use packing boxes and not plastic bags
2) Protect fragile items by wrapping them in bubble wrap. It is better and safer than wrapping then in paper.
3) Wrap fragile items separately and mark them as fragile.
4) Label the boxes on the exterior. Write down which contents you've put inside.
5) Distribute the weight evenly in the boxes.

How Do I Hire the Perfect Movers and Packers?

Moving, always involves a lot of hassle, stress, and of course expenses. To add to the anxiety, you find plenty of companies that say they will offer you the best deals in town. Therefore, it becomes extremely important for you to know precisely what are your needs and requirements so that you are not in the wrong hands. This blog’s aim is to help you in finding the perfect movers and packers by giving a few valuable tips that will help you steer your choices.

First and foremost, you need not rush into finalising a moving company just because you see a fancy advertisement. Avoid relying solely on advertisements that talk about always being on time, highly skilled and professional packers and movers, etc. Before the final deal is made, it is extremely vital you note down the names and contact numbers of at least five companies. This helps you enquire the rates and compare them with the other companies.

Once you have finalised the company and their prices, ask them to give you an estimate. Keep in mind, that you call them home, and not do it over the phone. Understand their package deals completely, while making sure of all the additional costs you may have to undertake. For instance, extra expenses if they are to cover a certain distance; or if the goods are over a certain weight.

Confirm with them whether they provide insurance. You could probably ask them general questions, like what happens if the goods are broken during transportation, under what all circumstances will they be accountable, and for how much. You could also find out whether the relocation company has special tools and equipment to help make the move smooth and convenient.

As soon as you are done with the above, get a signed contract that involves the costs, the pick-up and delivery dates, along with their additional services if any. In any case, do not make final payment unless all your goods are delivered and a follow up has been done in case of damage.

Rent A Space or Buy One?

Many people in the urban areas feel the need to have some extra storage space to keep all their goods. This may be due to various reasons. Accommodation mostly does not serve its complete purpose for expatriates in urban areas. If you feel that the space in your home isn’t sufficient for all your belongings, why don’t you rent a storage unit in Abu Dhabi rather than buying real estate for your temporary storage needs?

When it comes to storing your belongings at a personal storage facility in Abu Dhabi, you can be problem-free. This is one of the main reasons why the storage industry is getting popular by the day. If you were to store you belongings right at your place or in a store room, a heap of problems would be knocking at your door to get you sooner or later; as leaving your belongings to fend for themselves isn’t a good idea. Why? : Storage isn’t enough. Your belongings need to be looked after too. If it’s a bike, then it needs regular ignition intervals. If you are storing bundles of paper documents in there, you need to take the necessary precautions to prevent your valuable originals from being eaten by insects or from mishaps.

Thus, depending on a storage facility is much simpler. Select a short term storage unit or a long term storage unit according to your choice.

Storage Company Hunting in Abu Dhabi

Renting an off-site storage unit is a convenience any day, as such units provide additional benefits compared to those received by storing goods in your home/apartment. Besides, storage facilities have become so popular that it isn’t difficult to find one, nor is it difficult to rent one.

Things to consider while hunting for a storage company in Abu Dhabi:

-You need to take the location of the storage company into consideration before renting one. Should it be within your city/area, close to your place of business or near your home?

-Choosing a storage facility will also depend upon what you are storing. In the case of personal items, you will need to access your storage unit quite often. Thus it would be better for you to keep your items in a personal storage facility within Abu Dhabi near your home.

-In the same way, choose a company depending on whether you require short term or long term storage. It would be great if you found one that offered both.

-Another aspect you need to consider is the construction of the facility. This should be done to convince yourself about the safety of your belongings from water or molds.

-Go through the rules and regulations of the company and check if the facility is insured incase of a fire or any other disaster. Security alone is the most important aspect that should be incorporated in the storage company you choose. This is why The Box, our storage solution in Abu Dhabi follows a number of innovative safety measures to ensure that the goods entrusted to us are always safe.
