Spring Cleaning? Here’s How a Storage Unit Can Help

Josh Summerhays • December 15, 2025

Spring is the perfect time to refresh your home, clear out clutter, and create a more organized space. But if you find yourself short on room or unsure what to do with seasonal items, a storage unit at More Space Self Storage can be your best ally.


More Space Self Storage offers convenient, secure units at our Ridgefield and Spokane locations, giving you an easy place to move seasonal items out of the way while you refresh your home.


Here’s how self storage can make your spring cleaning efforts more effective and less stressful.


Reclaim Space in Every Room


Over time, it’s easy for closets, garages, and spare rooms to fill up. A storage unit gives you the flexibility to:

  • Clear out winter gear like coats, boots, and holiday decorations
  • Store infrequently used items that still have value (think baby gear, keepsakes, or hobby supplies)
  • Make room for fresh decor or furniture as you update your home


Deep Clean Without the Clutter


When your home is full of boxes, bins, or bulky furniture, deep cleaning can feel impossible. By moving non-essentials to storage, you can:

  • Clean more thoroughly and efficiently
  • Protect items from cleaning chemicals or damage
  • Enjoy a less chaotic, more open space while you work


Simplify Seasonal Organization


Storage units are great for keeping your home tidy year-round. Rotate seasonal items in and out, and stay ahead of the mess:

  • Store spring and summer gear in easy-to-access bins
  • Keep off-season decor and clothing neatly organized
  • Free up closets and cabinets at home


When space is tight, learning how to make the most of a small storage unit can help you fit bins and boxes efficiently without sacrificing access to what you need.


Bonus Tip: Use Storage to Help With Home Projects


Planning to paint, renovate, or rearrange? A temporary storage unit lets you:

  • Move furniture out of the way safely
  • Protect belongings from dust and debris
  • Keep your space functional while you improve it


Beyond clearing clutter and staging for projects, there are a handful of clever ways people use storage units that might spark an idea for your own spring refresh.
