Cleaning the toilet bowl, mopping the floor, washing the dishes etc.. The tools you use can start to smell like wet musty socks! An easy way to clean everything is to just put it on the racks in your dishwasher and put it through a wash cycle. They will come out smelling fresh and ready to start again. Your mop will be wet though, so you should hang it until it dries.
By the way…You can only put the mop head into the dishwasher, if yours doesn’t come off then you will have to soak your mop in a bucket of water with bleach or dishwasher liquid added. Squeeze the excess water out and hang to dry.

Self Stor tip for JuneMay 13th, 2013
When June arrives everyone is more than ready to head outside. Do a bolt and screw tighten of all the items that have stood dormant for the winter. Bicycles, lawnmowers, wagons etc… You might want to check the air in the tires and add a little oil to any blades and chains. Do a walk around the outside of your property and look for any wear and tear that happened over the winter. A small problem can get big quickly. Check the eaves for leaf build-up and the hoses for cracks and worn washers. Taking a day to get organized will save you time and money in the future. Self Stor tip for MayMay 1st, 2013
When the walls seem to be closing in on you, it might be time to get rid of a few things. At first, it may seem like a monumental task, but take it slowly, a step at a time and before you know it, you’ll be dancing in free space. Self Stor tip for AprilApril 1st, 2013
To save the life of your dryer unplug it and remove the lint screen once a month. Wash it with soap and water and allow to dry. Lint screens accumulate a clear film from dryer sheets and fabric softener making it harder for it to do its job. Next, vacuum inside the lint trap with the long attachment used for tight spaces. When the screen isn’t functioning properly lint collects deep inside the trap and can clog up the external exhaust hose (check that as well) and make your dryer work harder than it has to. Wipe down your dryer inside and out and you’re done. Self Stor tip for MarchFebruary 1st, 2013
Painters tape is a wonderful item to keep in your home. Unlike duct tape, (which also has many uses), painters tape is less adhesive and peels off much more easily. Using it to wrap objects with plastic wrap or bubble wrap will make it easier for the tape to be removed, therefore, saving the wrap for another use when you are done.

Selfstor Tip for DecemberNovember 12th, 2012
Keep your Christmas tree well watered and always double check any candles left unattended during a party. Extinguish a fire in the fireplace before retiring to bed at night and put the glass doors on securely. A little extra care can save a life. Winter Storage Tip for NovemberNovember 2nd, 2012
