POUCH Happening – Scarf
One of our tenants came in and said she has got to get in her unit and organize it. She mentioned before that she has some old clothes she needs to go through and take to the Goodwill. A while later she came back into the office carrying a big box of clothes and to sign out.
As she was leaving, an old homeless woman happened to be walking by the front of the facility. We could see out the office window and witnessed something wonderful. The tenant was speaking to the old woman and began handing her clothes from the box. They both smiled as the tenant held several garments up to her verifying size to fit. It looked like they were done and started to walk away.
Then, the tenant hurried back to the old woman, removed the scarf around her neck and wrapped it around the old woman’s neck and shoulders. The tenant hugged the old woman and waved goodbye. The old woman continued on her way with a smile on her face that she did not have earlier.

Essential Tips for Your RV Storage
Whether you live in your RV full time or only use it for occasional trips, there will probably be occasions when you need to place it in storage. There are a few important precautions you should take before storing your RV . improperly stored, RVs can develop mold and may even become infested with pests or rodents. With a little preparation, you can ensure your vehicle remains in peak condition during its time in RV storage.
Wash, Wax, and Check Seals
The first thing you should do is thoroughly wash and wax your RV, paying special attention to the roof, which is particularly prone to dirt and the sun. Check that all silicon, rubber seals and areas of caulking are intact. Leaky or damaged seals can allow water to enter, which may cause expensive damage to your rig.Prevent Mold Growth
To prevent the growth of mold, keep your RV dry while in RV storage. Specially designed roof vents can help. These allow air to circulate while keeping water out. Make sure you prop open all cupboard, fridge, and freezer doors.Install Screens to Prevent Pests from Entering
Screen off all openings to the outside. This will stop bugs from flying into the rig and will also block any possible entrances for mice, rats, or other pests. Specially designed screens are available for this purpose. To further discourage an infestation of rodents, keep the rig free from food and nesting materials.Switch off the Electricity
First, make sure your battery is fully charged. Then, turn off the electricity using a battery disconnect switch. If your rig runs on solar power, you can leave that connected.If you are the proud owner of an RV and are looking for a safe and cost-effective way to store your rig or have questions about vehicle storage, contact us at POUCH Self Storage .

POUCH Happening – Easy As It Should Be
Busy day! Last Sunday, we realized that our parking lot was not quite big enough. The day started typically but the afternoon became a little more hectic. Our facility front was one big traffic jam. We had three big trucks from new tenants unloading into their units. Two of the big trucks had to park side by side.
Every single parking spot was occupied. Tenants were coming and going. All the carts were being used and the lifts were going non-stop. Yet, in spite of all the hectic activity, all the tenants accomplished their tasks without difficulties. Everyone shared the carts, took turns using the lifts and stayed out of everyone else’s way. Another fine example that Pouch, “makes it easy as it should be.”

POUCH Happening – Free means free
A tenant came in and rented a unit today. They loved the facility and were impressed by all the security features. It was an easy decision for him to store with us. He was even more fortunate to learn that the afternoon truck move rescheduled. I explained the Free Truck Move Service to him. I mentioned that we provide the truck, driver, dollies, and blankets all for free. He was impressed. He asked if he had to pay for mileage. Nope…all free. “Do I need to put down a deposit for the truck?” he asked. No sir, everything is free. Then he asked, “How about insurance? Do I need to buy insurance for the truck?” I smiled and replied, “Nope, everything is free!” He grinned and said it’s nice that free still meant free somewhere.

Essential Tips for On-Site Document Shredding
Every business, small or large, will accumulate a large amount of documents over the years. Many of these documents may likely contain sensitive information such as financial figures, client data, or personal employee information. To protect your business from fraud, theft, or other illegal activities that could be completed with sensitive information, documents should be stored and destroyed in a secure manner. Follow these tips for on-site document shredding procedures that can better protect your business.
Secure Company Documents
Any paper document containing essential information to the business, client, customer, or employee should be accounted for. A regular audit of documents with sensitive information minimizes the risk of fraud or theft. Employees should be trained to properly handle documents when storing these documents.
Store Documents Safely
When documents are to be destroyed, it is important not to throw them in the trash or recycling with other non-important documents. A business should have a security system implemented for storing any sensitive documents to be destroyed. A good way to go about this is to store documents in a locked storage bin that cannot be accessed by employees.
Hire Professionals
Hiring an outside company to destroy documents with on-site shredding is the best way to reduce the risk of these documents being stolen or inappropriately used by employees. A third party will provide a special locked bin to hold documents until time of shredding. During on-site shredding, an industrial shredder will be brought to the business to shred documents. Documents will be destroyed and the business owner will be able to oversee the process. Upon completion, a certificate will be presented to provide legal proof that documents are destroyed.
POUCH Self Storage makes it easy to protect your business. Call (800) 378-4598 to discuss more options about document storage and on-site document shredding. Don’t forget to ask us about all of our services for self-storage in Orange, Los Angeles and San Bernardino County.

POUCH Happening – ‘You know you’re old when . . .’
True story: A new customer, we won’t say how old she is, was trying to figure out how she was going to get to the facility for her truck move, since she doesn’t have a car. Clarence told her, “Well, you can’t ride in the truck with me, it’s against the rules, but let us know when you find a ride”.
The next day, the customer called, all excited because she heard about this new ride service –
“No worries Clarence, I’m getting a ride from ‘Goober’!”

What Are the Advantages of Using Self Storage?
Have you ever felt your home may be a bit cluttered? As you collect different personal belongings throughout the years, or after holidays, it can be easy to run out of space to store your items at home. There are many reasons why it may not be an option to simply get rid of or donate extra stuff. Self-storage units are a great option for storing the items you don’t want to throw out, but just do not have enough space for.
There are many reasons why self storage can be helpful to anyone who has run out of closet, garage or other space. For example, if you have a lot of items used for seasonal activities such as skiing or snowboarding, holiday decorations, etc. there is no reason those items should be stored at home. For items you use sparingly, but still have a use for, self-storage units provide additional storage space that can be accessed regularly.
When you are looking for self storage in Orange, Los Angeles or San Bernardino Counties, POUCH Self Storage has many options available to suit your needs. Call one of Self Storage Specialists at 800-378-4598 or visit our website to learn more about our storage units, and other things we offer.
