Although spring is the perfect time to give your business a bit of a clean and declutter, you don’t have to wait. It’s perfectly acceptable, and a great idea, to do it at regular intervals throughout the year. It’s always amazing how much paraphernalia accumulates over the year, and it is worth taking a small amount of time at the end of each day to get your decluttering done and dusted.

Packing up the house in time for a move is always an arduous task. Where do you start? As well as offering professional removal service, inStore can also advise and assist you through the process moving house by yourself.

Acquiring boxes
There are many ways of finding free boxes online, such as on freecycle, however second-hand boxes are not always good quality which increases the risk of damaging your possessions not only during transit but while they are being stacked as well. It is important when buying boxes that they are, at a minimum, double wall cardboard which gives them the strength and durability to put your mind at ease when transporting your possessions. inStore offer a range of new cardboard boxes which you can purchase. Click here to get in contact and let us help you move house with confidence.

What to do with the boxes once you’ve finished
Donate: We suggest that you allow a realistic amount of time to get rid of all your rubbish at the end of a move. Consider donating your boxes to friends or neighbours who might be moving out or alternatively, put them on freecycle. This global network of people is a great way of keeping your cardboard out of a landfill site- and there are always people in need of boxes!

Sell: If your boxes are in particularly good condition, you can sell them on. Putting up an advert in your local shop or noticeboard is a great way to end up selling your boxes to a good cause.

Recycle: If you don’t wish to give away or sell your boxes, recycling is the best option. If you live next to a tip or a recycle factory, it is a quick way to get rid of all that cardboard.

Mere is a small town, It lies at the extreme southwestern tip of the Salisbury Plain, close to the borders of Somerset and Dorset. The A-303 truck road passed through Mere until a bypass was built on the northern edge of the town in 1976. There is an old market square (although markets have not been held for several years), a chiming town clock and large 15th-century parish church.

The steep slope of Castle Hill rises from the northwestern side of Mere. Local industry and commerce includes the Hill Brush company which was based next door to our warehouse, but has very recently moved to the outskirts on the other side of Mere having build a brand new factory.

People have in the past asked ‘why Storage’ and more pertinently ‘why storage near Shaftesbury’ of all places.  It’s a good question and the answer lies in how we as a society deal with our possessions, we are intensely addicted to collecting and no matter how much we throw away (and there’s far to much of that going on) – we still seem to put great value on our possessions and our families possessions.  The psychology of the way our society has built up it’s possessions is a topic I hope to return to frequently as I write more and more on this News section of our website.

Be it clearing out a close relative’s house following bereavement, or an attic or a garage clearance – be it in London, Mars or just near Shaftesbury – it’s life as we know.  These things need to happen and we’re here to help the local area for storage near Shaftesbury.

The inStore Declutter Tips Guide 2017

As we enter the new year, jumping in with full gusto, we like to think that our lives might be a bit clearer, a bit more open to what the new year can bring us. Whether that’s a new job, new house, new person or even just a new mower your thinking about buying, but have no room in the garage. Here at inStore we’re going to give some pointers (or you could say friendly guidance) in the direction of a new you for a new year. This new you will be the ‘Decluttered’ you. To declutter or not to declutter, that is the question! If your antique furniture is clogging up your garage so Granny’s old table is blocking the door and you have a whole room just to store the paintings you can’t fit on the walls then it’s time to start decluttering now!

1. Why not try ‘The Oprah Winfrey wardrobe Hanger Test’
   This experiment in which Oprah Winfrey has said to have invented is a way of working out what you do and don’t wear in your wardrobe, the trick is to hang everything with the hangers facing one direction, then when you come to use an item you put it back by turning around the hanger the other way, as weeks go on you start to see what you really don’t wear and can give it to a charity shop.
2. The ask yourself the ‘how much its worth’ question
   Scientist has found that you can better declutter by asking creative questions like ‘how much would I pay for this?’ this helps to really know if you have an undying love for your item or whether its just charitable goods.
3. The inStore trick
   Here at inStore we think the best way to declutter your life is to keep those ever important things, throwing them away is rather bad for the conscious and the environment, so why not keep your beloved children’s school paintings, or your parents hand-me- down crockery in our well equipped warehouse.

inStore’s New Year Resolutions

It’s that time of year again, we have all made our New Year Resolutions and we are sticking to them … aren’t we?

One of the most popular resolutions has to be the – ‘I must join the gym this year’ resolution. However we all know the likelihood of those resolutely muttered words coming to fruition.

The other big resolution is the ‘I’m going to stop eating any chocolate, even on top of tiny biscuits’ one. Now I have always thought that this one in particular is a tricky little critter to follow through – with Easter on the horizon like an evil Easter-bunny flaunting his basket.

Last but not least, is the crown and glory resolution of – ‘I have got to clear out all the clutter of my life!’ This one normally relates to the daunting thought of all that stuff that is clogging up the spare room, or the loft that’s bursting with family items that you can’t part with, or the space under your bed that’s screaming for fresh air. As we approach the spring cleaning period at this time of year, why not let us help you help yourself. You don’t have to get rid of anything! You can store belongings that are taking up needed space in your home (not for good, for safe keeping) and you can have a clearer home. Clearer home – cleaner mind. At least until next year when you somehow manage to accumulate nearly the same amount of stuff all over again. If so, we will still be here to help you.

Conclusion:

Take a minimalist approach to your life this year, clear your things, clear your mind and order your life – with help from us at inStore. We may not be able to force you through those gym doors, or take that tempting easter egg out of your mitts but we can help you with all your storage needs!
