Like the seasons, our daily wardrobe needs change every few months. As winter nears its end and spring approaches, the winter clothes will have to be kept as we prepare for the glorious spring.

 

Here are three smart tips for storing and managing winter clothes according to the seasons.

 

<How to store and manage down jackets>

 

1. The main winter clothes are down jackets. The down jacket has a large volume, so you have to manage it well. Wipe off the dust before storing, and if your clothes smell, let them ventilate before storing them away.

 

2. Dry cleaning during washing reduces the heat retention of feathers and down. Hand wash only areas prone to contamination with a neutral detergent and wipe dust with a soft cloth.

 

3. The down jacket loses its original shape and form if hung on the hanger for extended periods of time. Put it in a breathable nonwoven cover and fold it in half. Alternatively, if there is an empty carrier, it is recommended to use it and store it together with dehumidifiers.

 

<How to store and manage sheepskin>

 

1. Please use leather laundry for dirty parts.
2. Dry it in the shade before putting it in the closet.
3. Store in a place with low humidity.

 

<Coat Storage and Management Method>

 

1. Dry-clean before putting it in the closet.
2. Remove the plastic cover after dry cleaning.
3. Ventilate to remove odours and moisture.

 

The storage and management of spring and winter clothes are important in the long-term maintenance of precious clothes. It is important to buy clothes of good quality and design, and more importantly, manage them according to the material and fabric, you can wear them for a lifetime.

 

If you don’t have enough space in your current house or find it difficult to store clothes in your closet for another season, come store with Extra Space Asia.

A home office is an office space at home to run official business functions. Start-ups and entrepreneurs commonly use home offices as their very first office to lower the cost of operation. However, as a business owner, there will be times when you feel ready to move out of your home office to an actual office space.

Here are five good indicators to start packing and move to an office space.

Your business is growing quickly

Take a look around your home space. If you feel like your home space is turning into an office space with business inventory occupying more than 50% of your home space or space to work, it’s time to set up an office elsewhere. You can always start by renting a small office space of a good size to fit your business items and office equipment so that the cost of renting an office space is minimal and upsize accordingly.

You are hiring more employees

As your business grows, you will need more manpower to help you in the daily operation of your business, as it will be hard to do everything on your own. When that time comes, you will need to hire more employees, and it might be hard to fit everyone comfortably in your home. This will be the right time for you to look for a new space that is big enough to fit your team and workflow.

The lack of space to store business inventory

Planning to bulk up on inventory for the upcoming festive sales? If this is causing you a temporary space problem, you can always rent a self-storage unit at a storage provider such as Extra Space Asia Self Storage, where you will enjoy unlimited space to store all of your business inventory. Renting a storage unit is like an extension of your office space where you can access your goods and inventory 24/7, any time, any day. You can also be assured that your items are in good hands with the 24/7 CCTV monitoring in the storage facility area. With a wide storage size available at the storage facility, you will also be able to affordably find a storage space to store all of your items. If you need storage assistance, you can always contact 1899 8708, and Extra Space Asia Self Storage will assist you accordingly.

If this space-related problem is a long-term issue, you can always find an office space near a storage facility. This way, you will be able to enjoy ample space for your goods and also a comfortable room to operate your business.

The lack of space to hold client meetings

When you just started your business, most of your client meetings might be at home or a local coffee shop. However, as your business grows, it might look unprofessional to hold all the physical meetings in your home. Firstly, there might be limited space to move around. Secondly, it might be hard to speak about confidential matters with all the employees in the same room. As such, it’s good to consider renting an office space with some rooms so that each function can have room to operate clearly.

Too many distractions at home

We can all agree that working at home is comfortable and ideal for most as everything is within reach. However, it’s not always the best place to work as distractions are too many at home for us to work in peace. Especially if you have kids or rowdy pets at home, distractions make it challenging for us to engage in deep work and stay focused during a meeting.

Learning how to pack your items efficiently can help to make your moving process easier and smoother. It will also help to make your unpacking tasks much easier after the tiring moving process. With plenty of moving tips that have been tried and tested to work, why not give them a try when you are packing for the big move? Here are some moving tips on how to pack moving boxes efficiently.

Pack your items in the right size boxes

When you are packing your items, it is essential to choose suitable box sizes to fit your items. If you are packing heavier item like books and folders, you can try using a smaller box. That is because if you were to use a large box for these heavy items, it might be a more challenging job for movers to move them, and it might also have a higher chance of breaking. Thus, it’s always a good choice to balance out the weight of the boxes.

Don’t leave spaces in the boxes

Remember to always fill in the empty gaps in the boxes with some bubble wrap or newspaper or cloth. These space fillers will help to protect your items from moving too much around the boxes. The cloth or bubble wrap will also help protect fragile items from knocking into one another during the moving process. If you are packing glasses, use a box with cardboard dividers to protect these fragile glass items and wrap them with paper to protect them further.

Pack accordingly to your room allocation

During the packing process, it would be good to pack accordingly to what goes in each room. When items in the same room are placed in the same boxes, it can make the unpacking process easier. While packing your room items, you should also sort your things by category, e.g. all of your clothing in the same box and shoes in another box.

Label each box 

Include a liner or two on each box when you are packing. These labels will be useful during the moving process, unpacking process and even the sorting out process. Besides adding words, you should also include a number on each box to keep track of the number of boxes that you are moving. It is good to also keep an inventory list to keep track of the number of boxes and the content to ensure that you have packed everything. If the items in the box are fragile, do remember to also add a “Fragile” sticker and arrow to show how the boxes should be placed.

Tape the moving boxes well

During the packing process, it is important to tape up every moving box well. You should always use a few tapes to close the bottom seams if you place heavy items in the cardboard boxes to ensure that the tapes can keep the box close when it’s lifted. Once you have finished packing your items into the box, you should use the tape and go around the top and bottom edges a couple of time to ensure that they are fully taped up.

If you need any packing boxes or packing materials like bubble wraps or tapes, you can always purchase them at any of our Extra Space Asia storage facilities. Call us at 1899 8708 to find out more.

Planning for a renovation to spruce up your home? We understand that it can be both exciting and stressful.

During the home renovation process, you’ll be letting third-party contractors and workers roam and work freely around your home. In order to create more space for everyone to move, most homeowners would start to declutter right about now, clearing items they no longer need and keeping their personal belongings in boxes neatly. Renting a self-storage unit is also one of the most convenient ways for your personal and family items. Here are three reasons why.

1. Safe and secure

By storing your items in a self-storage facility like Extra Space Asia, you can rest assured that your items are in safe hands. At Extra Space Asia, all customers will have their unique PIN code, which they will require to access the storage area. Each storage unit will also be locked by your very own personal lock. This will ensure that only you have access to your storage units and your items.

There is also 24-hour CCTV monitoring in the storage facility premise to assure the absolute security of your items. What’s more, unlike other storage companies, Extra Space Asia remains staffed during operation hours to provide you with further assistance when needed.

2. Keeping your things in good condition

When your home is undergoing a renovation, it’s inevitable to find dirt or dust around. Even if we were to move all of our personal belongings to one isolated room covered with a huge protective canvas, they might still be dusty. Or worse, covered with paint.

By storing your items in a self-storage unit, you’ll be able to ensure that they are not compromised in any way. To keep your items dust-free, you might want to clean all of your items before storing them in a clear plastic box and vacuum-sealed bags. This will help you organise, and you’ll also be able to see what items are stored in a single glance. This will be useful and time-saving when you plan to retrieve your items.

3. 24-hour storage access

A self-storage is like an extension of your home where you can access any time and day you wish. All you need to access your storage unit would be your PIN code and key to your storage unit. It’s that simple.

In addition, you’ll be able to also enjoy extra space to keep all of your personal collection, furniture and family items all in one place. This will make things more convenient when you decide to bring your items back home in one trip.

Packing and protecting your furniture is definitely a step not to be missed. Before the move, it is important to ensure that everything is packed well. This crucial step will help ensure that all your belongings and furniture are in good condition during the transportation process and when they arrive at your new location. Here are some moving tips on how to pack and protect your furniture for moving.

Measure your furniture

Once you have made a list of what items you would need to move, you should measure your furniture items, especially big furniture like the dining table. This measurement stage ensures that your furniture and belongings can pass through the doors, corners, lift safely without hitting and damaging the items. If you plan to store your items in a self-storage unit during this moving or transition period, the dimensions will also come in handy to determine the storage size you need.

Inspect and clean your furniture

Before the big move, it is important to inspect your furniture to check if they are all in good condition. Note the furniture or personal belongings that have any signs of damage. During this inspecting period, it will also help you decide if the furniture is worth the effort and money to move to the new location. Once you have inspected them, remember to clean them up before packing them. It is good to ensure that all of your furniture pieces are free from dust, dirt and coarse particles that may damage the delicate surface of some sensitive furniture materials.

Disassemble your furniture when needed

If the furniture can be disassembled easily, you should disassemble them to make it easier for the movers during transportation. If you are storing your furniture in a self-storage unit, disassembling big items such as bed frames, sofa sets, dining tables etc, will help optimise the storage unit space more efficiently too. That is because you are paying the storage unit based on the amount of space/area you have rented, so it will be more space-consuming if you store the items in their original state. Remember to also safekeep all the small elements like bolts, nuts, screws in a fastening bag so that you do not misplace them during the move.

Secure your furniture 

For furniture items such as cupboards, drawers or any items that may open during the move, you should use stretch film and tapes to ensure that they remain safely closed throughout the move. In cases whereby your furniture sets include a fragile element such as glass table tops, shelves etc, you should pack and protect them with either bubble wraps or a thick blanket so that they will remain in good condition during the move. If you need any packing materials such as bubble wraps, stretch film and packing boxes, you can always purchase them at Extra Space Asia Self-Storage’s Box Shop.

Cover your furniture

Covering your furniture’s exposed surfaces help to keep your items dust-free and protected at all times. You can also tape some protective covers on your furniture and personal belongings to keep them from unwrapping during the moving process. If you plan to store your furniture in a self-storage unit, the protective cover can also help keep them dust-free during the storage duration.

For sure, this condition is not healthy for both your physical and mental health. Look around your place, and if the mess causes stress, it is time to put effort into getting organised!

 

1.Purge the clutter

If you have many items misplaced, all over the place, it might be challenging at first. But don’t be frustrated. Taking the first step is key.

We do this big purge at the beginning to secure more space to keep your necessary belongings. Do remember: the more you get rid of, the more space you might get.

 

2.Store your belongings by category

Open up and see your drawer, closet and cabinet. If you feel that it is messy inside, it is because of mingled items from different categories. If you have to store everything in one place, consider using a drawer organiser to segment the space. In this way, there is a low chance that your drawers become messy again as you pick up items in the right place when you need some—no need to dig up and waste time to find something anymore.

 

3.Make habit of decluttering

It is not easy to establish a new organising habit. However, it is not that difficult if you start with stop procrastinating.

It means you won’t be influenced by a stressful environment while at home, at least.

 

4.Put away off-season items

Are you having difficulties finding belongings from your drawers? Do you feel that you need to declutter your dressers but also finding yourself procrastinating? With quick and simple tips and tricks, organise all the drawers at your home today! Here are three tips to help you to organise things neatly.

 

1.Take everything out

Before we start decluttering, we first need to see what makes the space messy. How? Take all things out from the drawer first. Then, sort out what you need to keep and what you want to discard. Once you see all your belongings out of the drawer, you can better identify the unnecessary things that you might not need anymore. By getting rid of those items, you can expand your drawer’s space tremendously!

 

2.Categorise by function

Next, aim to fill up the space wisely. Split your belongings into categories. For example, the first layer of the drawer for stationery, the second for the accessories, and the third for cleaning items. With this step, your overall space will look neater, and you will be able to find things you are looking for quickly.

 

3.Use dividers

For easily tangled items such as socks, supplements and cosmetics, you can consider using drawer organisers to separate them while storing them in the same place. While you can find organisers from almost any hardware or lifestyle stores near you, you can also consider a simple DIY approach. Simply cut a thick box into the small pieces you need and insert them into the drawers. By doing this, you will be able to see where each and every item is located at a glance.

There are many reasons why you should consider signing up for a long-term storage unit. You may need it while moving abroad for a couple of years, or maybe you need more storage space to keep personal/business belongings long-term. Whatever your needs, here are some tips when deciding between your long-term self-storage options!

 

1. Unlimited access at any time is more important than you think

Imagine being locked out of your own self-storage facility and not being able to access your items just because it’s the wee hours of the morning? No matter your reason, you should be able to access your unit anytime you need to!

 

Travellers need to move in different time zones. Businesses may stretch their office hours. Your self-storage solution should cater to your needs round the clock. If you feel that you need long-term storage in a facility that is available at your convenience, we recommend you choose the facility somewhere with 24/7 access.   

 

2. Climate-controlled environment

What kind of belongings would you store in your unit? Are they climate-sensitive items such as luxury furniture or electronic devices? If yes, you might need to consider a climate-controlled storage unit. And even if the belongings are not so sensitive to the temperature, such as books, photos and clothing, opting for a dehumidified environment is better in the long term.

 

Typical storage units may be cheaper. However, are you willing to sacrifice your precious items and risk long-term damage in a humid storage unit? Consider a climate-controlled option for peace of mind.

 

3. Safety & Security

Safety is definitely one of the key reasons why you might consider self-storage. We all agree that an indoor self-storage unit is safer than outdoor container boxes. But be sure to check for all these features before you sign-up with a storage facility.  

 

1) CCTV Monitored 24 hrs

2) Access is restricted to authorised personnel only (Current customer)

3) Unit doors are secured with locks
