Do you use your garage to park your car, or as a storage unit like the rest of us? Because you might want to think again if you’re storing anything meaningful.
According to “Southern Living”, if you live anywhere with heat, humidity, or cold winters, your garage is NOT a good place for storage.
And here’s why: Moisture and temperature fluctuations will ruin your stuff over a long period of time, bugs can get into those sealed containers, and you have to worry about rodents and spiders, too.
Climate-control storage spaces can be expensive, but maybe they’re worth it, if you want your stuff kept safe.
Here’s a list of fifteen items you should never store in your garage:
1. Pet food
2. Wine
3. Blankets and clothing
4. Paint
5. Firewood
6. Propane tanks
7. Important documents or paperwork
8. Photographs
9. Books
10. Electronics
11. Art work
12. Stuffed animals
13. Pillows
14. Chemicals
15. Easily flammable items
