Label Everything: Make sure all your storage bins are clearly labeled to make finding items easier.
Summer heat can be damaging to certain items. Here’s how to protect your belongings during the hot months:
Avoid Plastic Bags: Plastic bags can trap humidity, which can lead to mold and mildew. Use breathable fabric bags instead.
