The BIG Spring Clean!

The current frosty weather might be telling you that it’s in fact winter and not spring... but we promise it is nearing the end of March! So in the spirit of spring cleaning it’s time to declutter!

Feng Shui says that unused items collect bad energy and advises decluttering and arranging your possessions in a particular way can improve your life by encouraging a more positive energy flow. Now who are we to argue... here at Cube Self Storage we are all for decluttering so have come up with a few handy tips to help declutter and Feng Shui your homes this sprint... so make way for that positive energy!

• Seize the day! Stop thinking that you’ll do it tomorrow, make a date in the diary to dedicate to conquering your clutter and stick to it! You will feel so much better once it’s done.
• Organise your clutter: Make different piles; keep, charity, store, bin etc.
• Toys: Weed out unused and unloved toys.
• Tough Love: Be strict with yourself, if you don’t absolutely need it or haven’t worn it in years, then get it out of your house and make way for the items you do love and you do need.
• Work room by room: There’s no point messing the whole house up, you will need a retreat from the mess, as the room will probably look a lot worse before it looks better.
• Don’t do it all by yourself: Find a friend to help you, someone who will adopt the tough love motto!

So in future, think twice before you buy something new or welcome something else unneeded into your home! For those items that you really cannot be without store with Cube Self Storage, get in contact today to speak to one of our industry experts to discuss your storage needs.

Packing and Moving Tips

The big day is looming and you cannot put off the packing any longer! But never fear; here at Cube Self Storage we understand that moving can be a stressful time, so we have compiled a list of handy packing and moving tips we think everyone should know!

Ø  First things first… If you fail to prepare then prepare to fail. It will probably take you much longer than you anticipated! So plan early, better to be prepared as on the moving day you will have other things to worry about.

Ø  Large items: These will need to go into your storage unit or van first, and be sure to utilise space in draws and wardrobes.

Ø  Delicate items: Ensure to protect all delicate items appropriately, otherwise you risk damaging your prized possessions. Bubble wrap till your heart’s content on items such as dinner ware and cutlery… but never on fine art!

Ø  Be Organised: Make labels, Cube offers a range of packing materials and labels to help you colour coordinate and organise effectively.

Ø  Beware of the Box: Boxes are usually unreliable; the last thing you want is your contents crashing out of an ill prepared box, check out our sister company Easycrate who have a range of reusable plastic crates to hire. Crates are also stackable so take up less room in transit!

Ø  Take the opportunity to throw out any unwanted items, donate to charity or of course; put into storage for another time.

Calling All Fashionistas!

As I’m sure you do or do not know, we are currently in the midst of London Fashion Week; a chance for all the beautiful people to strut their stuff in expensive labels that most of us have no hope of ever owning. More affordable high street labels such as Topshop and River Island, who showed off their new Rihanna range yesterday, of course feature as well. But it was Mulberry’s Emma Hill with her‘Rule Britannia’ inspired collection that ruled the catwalk yesterday and it is Tom Ford and Burberry who are set to steal the show today. Brands which we tend to look at, take inspiration from, but only buy in our dreams.

The number of people who actually possess the ability to purchase from one of the exquisite collections showcased at London Fashion Week are few and far between. But on that rare occasion that you fall in to some money or luck and find yourself sporting an item of clothing featured in “Vogue Loves,” then it is important that you care for the item to avoid premature aging and damage from wear and tear. Re-wax your Barbour jacket, spray your suede boots with shoe protector spray and store the items which you find yourself no longer wearing with Cube Self Storage.

Our state of the art climate controlled facility protects clothing from heat, cold, dust, mould and humidity by maintaining temperature requirements in parallel with humidity levels. The unit has 24 hour CCTV and is monitored from our reception, so you can be assured that your valuables are not only being preserved but are also in safe hands. Furthermore for this February, we are offering 12 weeks for the price of 6 in our climate controlled facility.

No matter who made your jacket or how much it cost, it will lose its charm and value the moment a moth gets at it and when the colour fades. Our storage facility is perfect for those items that you don’t wear often, but do not want to get rid of. Maybe a fur stole that you’re saving for a special party or a wedding dress that you would like your daughter to wear... Take advantage of our special offer and call us on 0800 027 2668 for more information.
