How storage unit gets cleaned, prepped and turned around

Ever wonder what happens between one customer moving out and another moving in? At Urban Space Self Storage, we take cleanliness and upkeep seriously. Each storage unit goes through a meticulous turnaround process to ensure it’s spotless, secure, and ready for use. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how we get each unit prepped for its next chapter.

1. Thorough Inspection

The process begins with a detailed inspection as soon as a unit is vacated. Our team checks for any remaining items, damage, or maintenance needs. We assess everything from the floors to the walls, locks, and ventilation to make sure the space is in top condition. If repairs are needed, they’re scheduled immediately to avoid any downtime.

2. Deep Cleaning

Once cleared, the unit goes through a full cleaning process. This includes sweeping and mopping the floor, wiping down surfaces, and disinfecting high-touch areas like door handles and latches. We also ensure there are no signs of pests or moisture—maintaining a clean and safe environment is a top priority at Urban Space.

3. Maintenance & Repairs

If the inspection flagged any minor wear and tear, now’s the time we fix it. Whether it’s repainting scuffed walls, repairing door rollers, or replacing faulty lights, we make sure every unit is in tip-top shape before being made available again. This ensures our customers receive a consistent and high-quality experience every time.

4. Climate & Security Check

We also ensure that all environmental controls and security systems are working as intended. For climate-controlled units, temperature and humidity levels are tested and recalibrated if needed. We verify that surveillance coverage, access logs, and entry points remain secure to uphold the safety standards our customers expect.

5. Final Quality Assurance

Before a unit is listed as “move-in ready,” a final walkthrough is conducted. Our team checks the unit one more time—cleanliness, security, lighting, signage—to confirm it meets our quality standards. Only then is the unit made available for the next customer.

Conclusion

Turning around a storage unit isn’t just about making it look clean—it’s about delivering a secure, hygienic, and worry-free space for every customer. At Urban Space Self Storage, we go the extra mile behind the scenes so you can have peace of mind when storing your belongings.

Whether you’re moving in for the first time or coming back again, you can trust that your unit has been professionally prepared and cared for.
