PODS® Wisconsin Offers 6 Smart Storage Tips for the Holidays

MILWAUKEE - Oct. 23, 2017 - PRLog -- As the season of holiday travel and festivities approaches, households prepare to tidy their homes, bring out the traditional decorations and prepare for guests.

During most of the year, visits to see friends and family are the primary reason for about 24% of long-distance trips in America. During Christmas, that number goes up to 43%, and at Thanksgiving, it goes up to 53%.

Extra decorations and house guests means more storage is needed for the giving season. If your household storage is limited, PODS® Wisconsin can help. PODS containers can securely store extra decorations, furniture and keepsakes on or off-site at a PODS storage facility.

PODS Wisconsin offers useful storage tips for the holidays:

·         If you need extra storage this season, PODS has the answer. Use PODS containers to store extra furniture, boxes and decorations to make room for friends and family this year. Either keep the PODS container on-site for storage, or have PODS move and store the PODS container in a temperature controlled warehouse.

·         Save the headache and wrap lights before storing. To prevent lights from getting tangled in storage, grab a piece of cardboard and wrap the string of lights around it. Remember to tape the ends of the light strings to keep them secure. Use PODS moving & storage boxes to keep lights safely stored after the holidays.

·         Utilize bubble wrap. For those delicate holiday decorations, use bubble wrap as a layering tool to ensure fragile pieces don't move.

·         Vacuum-storage bags are lifesavers. Preserve those precious tablecloths and tree skirts from moisture, mold, and dust by storing them in vacuum storage bags.

·         Tame the tree with old belts. Use an old belt to cinch up your tree to make it easier to move and store.

·         Ornaments and egg cartons? Store ornaments in egg cartons that can be easily stacked in PODS moving & storage boxes.

"A PODS container is the perfect solution to safely store furniture, precious keepsakes and other household items that may not be needed during the holidays" said John Hudson, Managing Partner of PODS Wisconsin.
