Self Stor tip for June

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.

Selfstor Tip for October

Salt stains – use equal parts vinegar & water. Rub salt stains gently with a clean cloth dipped into the vinegar mixture.
Floor cleaner – add 1/2 cup of vinegar to your bucket of warm water, this mixture can also be used to clean windows.
Clean the dishwasher – Add a cup of vinegar to an empty dishwasher cycle once a month to reduce build up.
Coffee & Tea pot stains and build up – Add 1 part vinegar to 3 parts water. Boil the Teapot & Run the coffee brew. Followed by 2 straight water brews.

Fall Preparation

During the fall season we often marvel at the colour and beauty of
the season, but there are a few things we should do to make our transition into winter
a smooth one.
  • Rotate your mattress and vacuum it at the same time.
  • Change the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.
  • Remove window air conditioning units, drain and dry to preserve its lifespan.
  • If removing screens from windows, spray gently with a hose and dry.
  • Check around windows for cracks and caulk if needed.
  • Remove leaves and debris from eves troughs.

Selfstor tip for September

Once the kids go back to school, its much easier to look through all the rooms in the house for items they no longer use or for things that don’t fit anymore. The sports items that no one will use for the winter can be put away in storage. Winter is coming and we tend to spend a little more time indoors, so having that extra space will feel great.
