Moving During COVID-19 in Cypress

Mon, 28 Mar 2022 23:19:00 GMT

Even though COVID-19 has changed the way the world operates, it can’t stop people from moving. Whether your apartment lease is up, you sold your house, or you just need a bigger space, Stor-Mor Self Storage in Cypress is here to help make sure you can move and store your items safely during COVID-19. Below are a few tips on home storage, packing, and moving during COVID-19.

First Things First: Make A Plan

Moving during COVID-19 requires a bit more planning than you might usually need for a move. Rather than calling a few friends and figuring it out as you go, you will probably need to have things set up in advance and plan for extra space for social distancing as well as extra soap, paper towels, and hand sanitizer for whoever helps.

Second: Organize and Prepare

Once your plan is set, the real work begins. Home organization can be very helpful in reducing time and stress while moving during COVID-19. Be sure to pack things with labels, so you and your movers will put them in the right place at your new location. Make sure the labels are easy to read and understand. If your new place has multiple bedrooms, make it clear which room the box goes into. This eliminates the need to move the box again once it’s at home. Clearly mark heavy items, and if you’re moving items into a Cypress self-storage unit , put the heavy items on the bottom of your self-storage unit.

Third: Clean, Sanitize, and Bring Hygiene Supplies

Whether you’re using professional movers or family and friends, moving during COVID-19 is a bit nerve-racking for everyone. To help give everyone peace of mind, go through and sanitize high-traffic areas ahead of time. Light switches, door handles, and other places that will be touched frequently during your move should be wiped down beforehand. Also, provide plenty of hand sanitizer and soap, and paper towels. Be sure that your movers know where these supplies are located, and tell them to use them freely. This is a great time to wipe down your belongings as you pack them, making your stuff both clean and safe for everyone.

Last: Move and Unpack Smart

Has your house become a bit chaotic and cluttered over the years? Moving is a perfect time to restore order. Home storage ideas include moving unnecessary or rarely-used items into a storage room or into a Cypress, CA, storage unit. Declutter and minimize as much as possible before and during your move to keep your new place feeling spacious. Garage storage solutions include hanging tools and bikes on hooks rather than leaving them loose in the garage, and if possible, installing simple shelving to put items on, giving you more room for your cars. Unpack boxes in the right place, so you don’t have to move those items again later.

At Cypress Storage, We’re Here to Help

If you need a storage unit in Cypress, CA , we are here to help. We know that moving can be stressful, and moving during COVID-19 even more so. At our storage in Cypress , Stor-Mor provides quick and simple ways to rent out our Cypress self-storage units. No matter what your storage needs are, Cypress Storage is here to help.

Emergency Storage in Anaheim

Sun, 12 Apr 2020 15:52:00 GMT

One of the best ways to prepare for serious emergencies is to invest in an off-site location where you can store valuables, data, and supplies you can rely on in the future. This is the perfect use for an Anaheim self-storage facility. If you’re worried about a current emergency, or you just want to prepare for the uncertain future, it makes sense to begin stocking up now.

Choosing Your Storage Unit

When building an emergency self-storage supply, one of the most important steps that you’ll be going through is choosing the right storage unit. Choose the Anaheim self-storage space you use with care and you’ll end up with emergency storage that’s more helpful to you.

Our Anaheim storage location is located on North Armando street and has storage units as small as 5×5 and up to extra-large 20×20 units for RV’s, boats, and vehicles . Whether your emergency supplies last for a few days or up to a few months, you can get a storage unit size that fits your emergency storage needs.

Make a Disaster Kit to Keep in Storage

After you decide on a location for your Anaheim storage units, you can move on to building up a disaster kit you can rely on for supplies when you need them most. Keep some extra clothing, flashlights, batteries, first-aid kits, gloves, cleaning supplies, water purification products, a radio, and other emergency supplies readily available in your unit.

Clearly mark these supplies and put them in an easy-reach location so you can get the supplies you need when you need them.

Backup Your Data Remotely

One of the best uses for your Anaheim self-storage is as a remote data backup site. Invest in a fire-proof and waterproof storage container and put in flash drives and external hard drives loaded with your most precious data. Keep family photos, scans of important documents, and any other files that you want to preserve in this box.

You should make a backup of your files and keep one copy in your Anaheim storage and the other at home. You can also utilize a cloud storage service with a server located in another part of the world as a third backup for another layer of protection.

Use Your Storage to House Vulnerable Valuables

Depending on the emergency situation, you’re going to want space to house your valuables away from your home. For instance, in times of flooding, widespread fires, or even after major mudslides it’s helpful to be able to move your valuables to a storage space that’s farther away from the area of damage.

Keep open space in your unit where you can move your valuables during emergency situations. Having that option available will make your emergency unit even more helpful. Follow these simple tips and you’ll create a more effective emergency storage location that you can depend on no matter what emergency you’re facing.

Self-Storage Prepping (And How to Do It Safely)

Fri, 27 Mar 2020 15:53:00 GMT

Renting storage units to keep emergency supplies is a great idea, especially in light of recent events. Keeping enough essentials to last you through a crisis certainly never hurts. To help you out, we’ve created a little checklist for what you’ll need and how to properly store these items with Stor-Mor Self-Storage.

Food Storage

Keeping food in a storage unit may seem like a good idea until rodents, roaches and other critters get into it. While pests will get into your food if it’s not stored properly, it’s a good rule of thumb to never store perishable food items in your self-storage. Keep all food items in airtight containers at home, especially if you’re keeping grains or rice. Other items will expire if they are kept under extreme temperatures, such as canned goods.

All of these food storage tips are best observed at home, so save yourself some grief with these home food storage tips.

Water Storage

Probably the most popular item to store when self-storage prepping, water is both easy to keep and essential for life. Whether it’s conveniently packaged in water bottles or you have large containers that can fit gallons, water storage is pretty simple. One thing to watch out for, however: the chemicals in the plastic water bottles can get into the water if it’s too hot, so climate-control self-storage might be the best option.

Disinfectants and Other Supplies

During this pandemic, cleaning supplies and protective wear such as gloves and face masks are good to have on hand. Make sure you have plenty of sanitizing wipes, sanitizer, and soap as well (toilet paper is also going quickly). While accessing your storage unit, wear gloves and avoid touching your face. Keeping things clean and organized will also serve you well when the time comes.

Now you know what to do for your self-storage prepping, so it’s time to check out our Stor-Mor Self-Storage and find the perfect unit to suit your needs.

Paying it Forward With Self Storage Donations

Mon, 24 Feb 2020 16:01:00 GMT

When cleaning out your Cypress self-storage unit , chances are that you’ll come across some items you no longer want or need. Instead of throwing these away, why not take them to your local donation centers for some self-storage charity work? Donation centers near Cypress, CA are abundant and some of them will even pay you for your stuff! Below we’ve listed some of the best organizations to bring your unwanted belongings to, check it out.

Cypress, CA Goodwills

There are two Goodwill stores within Cypress. The first is located on 6006 Lincoln Ave and the second is on 8155 E Wardlow Rd. Both of these exceptional donation centers accept clothes, furniture, and other non-perishable items that can be resold at super low prices. This helps the community greatly and it’ll make you feel good just for doing it!

Uptown Cheapskate

If you’ve got old clothing you no longer need but would like to make a profit on, Uptown Cheapskate is the way to go. They’ll pay you cash based on brand names and kinds of clothing items you bring in. They accept both men and women’s clothing items and for a tip for earning more for your clothing items, their website says, “We buy items based on condition, style, inventory levels, and what sells well in our store. Just bring your things in a bin or bag, and we’ll have an offer ready quickly.” The closest location is within a 30-minute drive of Cypress in Fullerton, CA. There is a Goodwill just down the street from Uptown Cheapskate, so whatever they don’t take then you can take it to Goodwill.

Children’s Orchard

If your kids have outgrown their clothes, it’s time to take them into Children’s Orchard . This awesome child thrift-store accepts donations of gently used clothing, toys, and equipment. As a bonus, they’ll pay the first 20 people who come to donate each day for their belongings. It’s a great option for donating your storage unit contents for kids because kids outgrow things so fast and many of the things they are bought are only used once or twice!

So, keep in mind when cleaning out your Cypress storage units that these options are available for donating things you no longer need. And, if you need Cypress storage, Stor-Mor is here to help. We offer competitive rates and a variety of options for everyone!

Your Guide to Using Self-Storage For Business

Mon, 10 Feb 2020 16:03:00 GMT

Business self-storage can be greatly beneficial to a wide variety of companies. If you’re a small shop looking to expand and need a place to store inventory or a large corporation with tons of documents that need a place to go, commercial storage is a great option.

Business storage helps companies stay organized and keep unnecessary stuff out of the office (or home) space. Keep in mind that self-storage in Fort Collins will be different from Littleton self-storage , so make sure you know the facility amenities before you choose one.

Here are three ways that your business can benefit from self-storage!

Document Storage

Probably the most universal part of business storage is keeping documents and paperwork in a safe, organized place. Keeping tax paperwork, receipts, and other records are necessary when running a business, and having a place to do so makes things so much easier.

Here’s how document storage works: first, label everything correctly so you can find it when the time comes. If you know you’ll need to access these documents, store them near the front of your storage unit. Lastly, keep the paperwork off of the ground with shelves to prevent damage!

Inventory Storage

Depending on your product, you may want to invest in commercial storage to keep your inventory organized and out of the office space. First and foremost, decide if you will need climate-controlled storage to keep your product in tip-top shape.

For example, storage units in Torrance don’t get as hot as say, Anaheim storage units . If your inventory is fragile or heat/moisture sensitive, it’s a good idea to invest in climate-controlled storage. Make sure you keep an inventory list and markdown what comes in and what goes out for optimal organization.

Equipment and Furniture Storage

If you’re a service business, chances are you’ve got some equipment and need a place to keep it when it’s not being used. Self-storage is great for lawn-care companies, construction companies, painters, e-commerce shops, and much more. With commercial storage, you’ve got a place to keep all of your eggs in one basket so-to-speak. Business storage is also the best place to keep all the extra office furniture you don’t need yet such as desks, chairs, etc.

At Stor-Mor, we have a variety of locations in California so no matter where your business is located, we’ve got a facility nearby. We offer self-storage in Fort Collins , Colorado Springs , and Littleton as well as locations in Cypress, Anaheim, and Torrance.

No matter where your company is based out of, Stor-Mor has options for you. Enquire today!

Tackling Winter Self-Storage For Your Delicate Items

Mon, 20 Jan 2020 16:04:00 GMT

Self-storage for winter can be a difficult task, especially for delicate items. Renting a climate-controlled storage unit is the easiest way to ensure that the weather doesn’t affect your belongings, but even if you don’t rent a climate-controlled storage unit, you can follow these tips to make sure your stuff stays in great condition through the colder months.

Wrap it Up

When moving in and out of your storage unit, make sure to wrap your belongings in sheets and towels to keep the dust off and the weather out. This is especially important for storing food in the winter, things like bottles and cans that collect dust easily. This is also a great method for your more fragile items and it gives them an extra layer of protection against the cold.

Winter Car Storage

If you’re looking for Colorado Springs self-storage or Anaheim self-storage this winter, you know how cold and wet it can get. Keep your vehicles safe by putting them in a storage unit! Make sure to check all of your fluids and fill them up before storage. Your tires should be filled to the maximum PSI to prevent flat spots and if possible, disconnect your battery and bring it inside. You can check out other car storage tips here . Lastly, cover your vehicle to prevent any moisture or dust from collecting on or inside of it.

Up Off the Ground

The floor is prone to gathering moisture that will damage delicate items such as books, electronics, and anything else easily affected by the weather. At Stor-Mor, we recommend either using shelves or stacking the less delicate items on the bottom. Make sure to leave a pathway in your storage unit to make getting in and out easier.

Winter self-storage has never been easier with Stor-Mor. Make sure to inquire about our climate-controlled self-storage for the best storage we have to offer, so chat with us today!
