• Cleaning out the fridge is usually on the top of our spring cleaning to do list. Most of us know to toss anything that has passed it “best by” date, but if you cannot find one and are unsure how long you have had an item it’s best to get rid of it. Anything that has been in the freezer for longer than 2-3 months should be tossed as well. You can see all of the Good Housekeeping guide on what to keep, toss or donate here.
• If you clean with sponges you can avoid cross contamination by using a color coding system. The Mint suggests you assign a color to each room of your house and dedicate a rag and sponge of the same color to it.
• Avoid scuffing up your wood floors while moving furniture by folding and placing two clean towels under each end of the piece of furniture. Then simply slide it across the floor. Martha Stewart has this and other great tips in her Clever Spring Cleaning Tricks article.
• As you are getting rid of clutter, don’t forget you can write off all those donations you make. Make a list as you are packing your donations up and get a receipt from the organization. You can use Good Will’s Valuation Guide for donations to determine the value of the items.
• You can also reduce clutter and annoying junk mail by opting-out of all those unwanted catalogs and other junk mail. Visit websites like CatalogChoice.org to quickly and painlessly do it.To read more about these and other great green cleaning tips check out TLC’s great article.

You hear a lot about self storage auctions these days.  You hear of treasures being found for a few dollars.  Does X mark the spot for buried treasure in a self storage unit in Trenton? We’ll leave that for you to find out.

Ever curious about what storage auctions actually are?  Storage auctions are held when someone abandons their unit, and we auction off what was in them.  Only 1-2% of all the rented storage units in the country ever go to auction.

Here are a few things to keep in mind if you are planning on attending a self storage auction in Hamilton, NJ neighborhood:

Cash Only. Payment at a storage auction is typically cash only.  If you are going to a well-attended auction bring a few hundred dollars, just to be on the safe side.

No Picking and Choosing. When you purchase items from a unit, you get everything in the unit, there is no picking and choosing what you want and don’t want.

24 Hour Rule. Buyers usually have around 24 hours to clear out the purchased unit.

Helpful Tips from the Experts:

If the unit is kept very neat, it shows that the personal property has been cared for, and may be worth more.

Be on the lookout for things with specific resale value, such as tools, electronics and furniture.

Also be wary of bidding on a unit with things that may cost money to haul, like old stained mattresses, junky furniture, etc.

But don’t take our word for it, check out some self storage Hamilton NJ auctions for yourself!  Give your Property Manager a call to get more info.
