All you need to do to protect the items you leave in storage, including your clothes, is make sure you take the appropriate precautions. A thorough cleaning is the first measure you can take to protect your clothes, even before you've arrived at the storage unit. Cleaning your clothes now is the only way to remove sticky substances such as food, dirt, or smoke, which, if left to seep into your clothes for six months in storage, might not ever come out again. Any clothes that are stored while wet, though, will attract large amounts of mildew and mold which will result in you needing to just throw away the clothes, regardless of your attachment to any individual piece. The higher protection offered by plastic bins make them superior choices for the long-term storage of clothes when compared to cardboard boxes, even if the bins are a touch dearer in terms of price. So long as you take the right precautions, there should be no issues with your clothes in long-term storage.

When you can't afford to maintain a commercial space for your business - whether that be a workshop, storefront, or office - because of the rent costs, the low cost of renting out a storage unit quickly becomes an attractive alternative.

Thankfully, Guardian Self Storage would be more than happy to answer any questions you might have about operating your business from a storage unit in Deception Bay.

You will still need an office or storefront to operate your business from, even if it is legal to utiilise a storage unit as part of those operations. It's illegal to use storage units as either office space or a storefront, since the purpose-orientated design of these properties fail to meet the minimum requirements for long-term occupancy as outlined by the government. Any staff that do work in these spaces, should it become legal to do so, will be extremely uncomfortable and have their effectiveness hampered, as storage units typically don't feature much natural light, and nor do they provide electricity or running water. There are situations where self-storage is an excellent choice for business use, however, such as when you require additional storage space but don't want to pay for larger offices or storefronts. Retail, the arts, and publishing are all examples of industries that can benefit from the lowered cost of renting a storage unit. There are legal implications to operating your business from a storage unit that you may wish to consider before you try to save every penny possible.

When it comes to working out what you shouldn't leave in a storage facility, it's usually best to either employ some common sense or discuss it with the staff. As an example, you cannot store anything extremely combustible, such as petrol or oil, as while a couch might be slightly flammable, the highly flammable and combustible nature of these substances makes them a liability. There are a wide range of chemicals that can be just as dangerous, such as paint thinner, chlorine bleach, and kerosene, so you should speak to the storage staff first before leaving these materials in storage, as they may emit fumes that could react together while in storage. There are a variety of legal and moral issues with storing anything that has been stolen, as there are for the storage of weapons, ammunition, and explosive devices, so if you've stolen it or could potentially use to it to steal something else, it might be best left at home. Your neighbouring tenants won't appreciate the pests and bugs any live flora you leave in your storage unit will attract, so it's best that you avoid leaving any plants in your unit. Accompanying the pests and bugs will be mold and mildew if you're also storing something that is commonly wet, such as a canoe, a surfboard, or a raft without first drying it. All you need to do to work out if you should store something in a storage facility is either apply some common sense, or have a quick chat with the friendly staff.

While self-storage units are more than adequate for the storage of belongings and aren't uncomfortable during your brief visits, they cannot provide a high quality of life to anyone who chooses to stay there permanently. Before one can begin to consider whether or not a storage unit would be comfortable, you must remember that sleeping in a storage unit is illegal more often than not, which means you could find yourself facing substantial legal trouble, as could the storage facility itself. The heavy insulation in a storage unit helps protect it from both heat and cold outside, but because that demands the unit to be relatively-effectively sealed, it won't be long before the air inside becomes quite stale. You won't have reliable access to a shower, a toilet, or a kitchen, since both running water and electricity are hazardous when left unattended which means access to either is not accounted for in most storage units. There are also a set of strict standards for long-term occupation that storage units are not designed to accommodate, which does mean that sleeping in a storage unit of any design constitutes a severe fire hazard. Not only is sleeping in a storage unit typically illegal, the experience will be neither safe nor comfortable, and as such, is an experience best avoided.

In the heat of the day you might find that your storage unit door can get hot especially if it is a driveway unit, however the temperature inside will be OK. The temperature inside the storage units are eased by the handy built in airflow openings that are between the wall and roof.
This is not the case for 'container storage' as they are sealed and attract condensation.
It is important to leave hazardous materials like petrol, gas bottles and containers holding poisonous gasses out of the storage units, as the varying temperature can escalate their danger.
