1. Decide whats worth keeping

   As you take inventory of the items you’d like to store, first decide what’s worth keeping and what should be donated or tossed. If an item is broken, torn, cracked, or hopelessly rusted, throw it away. If it’s just dirty, faded, or a little rusty, decide whether you want to invest the time to clean it, paint it, or reupholster it. Donate it if the answer is no and add it to your list to store if the answer is yes.

2. Clean Everything Thoroughly

   The easiest way to avoid degradation and damage of items in winter storage? Always take extra care to thoroughly clean each item and store it correctly.

3. Figure Out Where You’ll Store Your Items

   Sometimes summer items can be stored in your garage for the winter. However, if you need to make room for your winter clothes, cars, indoor and outdoor furniture, renting a storage unit at Dolphin Storage might be your best answer.

4. Make Sure to Protect Your Belongings
