STORAGE TIPS
Make the most of your space at Malabar Mini Storage with these helpful storage tips designed to keep your belongings organized, protected, and easy to access.
1. Pack Efficiently
Use sturdy boxes, fill them completely, and label each one clearly. Well-packed boxes stack better and protect items from shifting or collapsing.
2. Choose Climate-Controlled Units for Sensitive Items
Electronics, artwork, photos, documents, wood furniture, and fabrics stay safer in climate-controlled storage—especially in Florida’s heat and humidity.
3. Disassemble Furniture When Possible
Remove legs, shelves, and drawers to save space. Wrap pieces in moving blankets to prevent scratches during storage.
4. Store Heavier Items on the Bottom
Place heavy items or boxes on the floor and stack lighter ones on top to keep everything stable and safe.
5. Leave Aisles for Easy Access
Create a walkway inside your unit so you can reach items in the back without unpacking the entire space.
6. Keep Essentials at the Front
Seasonal items, tools, or paperwork you may need soon should be placed near the front of your unit for quick access.
7. Use a High-Quality Lock
Protect your unit with a strong, weather-resistant lock for added security, complementing our gated keypad entry and 24/7 surveillance.
8. Wrap Cables & Electronics Properly
Store electronics in their original boxes if possible and bundle cords separately to prevent tangling or damage.
9. Avoid Storing Prohibited Items
Do not store perishables, flammables, hazardous materials, or anything illegal. This helps keep you and other customers safe.
10. Manage Your Storage Online
Take advantage of our online bill pay and account management to handle payments, reservations, and updates anytime.
