Re: storage unit for non-moldy items?

[Guest guest]

If you can get a storage unit without sharred air, it would be doable, buut all

the units I looked at sharred air, and my things came back moldier than they

went in. You could rent a pod and have it brought to your house, but they are

also moldy, but you could clean it. Also, looks kind of bad if you must leave it

in front of your house. Good luck

some things in storage to declutter the house. These items are not moldy, but

since I'm very sensitive to mold I'm worried about renting a storage unit with

mold left from the last renter's belongings.

could also lay plastic on the floor and encase everything in plastic bags. This

seems reasonable, but I still have a huge fear of doing it because I've had 2

bouts of full body hives this summer from 2 different friends' houses.

Ack, I hadn't even thought of shared air! Thanks, . I think I'll do my

best to declutter and put boxes in closets, maybe check with a friend to see if

I can store a couple pieces of furniture there.
