Christmas is over and now you have to wait at least 10 months to use all the festive accessories and decorations again. If you don’t want to throw anything away, but don’t want to sacrifice storage space in your home or office, it’s time to consider a self storage unit in Panama.
Storing Christmas Lights
No matter what kind of lights they are, you will need to store them. MEGA Storage experts recommend placing them in airtight and waterproof containers, and even distributing them in several compact containers instead of one large one.
Placing them in a plastic bag can make them difficult to transport, and keeping many in one place will make it very heavy. It’s better to sort them into several boxes to move them easily.
Wrapping Paper
Wrapping paper can get out of control if you are someone who wraps gifts with a lot of detail. When finished, you may have leftovers for next year and want to store them without creasing or damage.
You can cut a sturdy cardboard tube and use it to hug the open roll of wrapping paper. Then place them inside a clear garment bag or in a lidded laundry basket to keep them clean and organized.
Christmas Bedding and Table Linens
Make sure table linens, bedding, and towels are clean before storing them. Do not wrap bedding in tissue or newspaper, as these materials can release gases that yellow the fabric.
An excellent option is to use an old suitcase and store these items in a climate-controlled self storage unit to preserve their condition.
Candles Require Special Care
Wrap candles in old socks or cellophane to prevent scratches. Do not use plastic wrap which can stick to them. Store them in a box and ensure they are in a climate-controlled unit to protect them from the city’s temperatures.
General Recommendations
We recommend storing your boxes strategically and with labels. Each label should list the content, be numbered, and kept in the order you wish to open them. You can categorize by color or room area to quickly identify the exact purpose of each box.
