Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Store Cleaning Supplies in a Storage Unit?

Some cleaning tools, like mops, brooms, buckets, and more, can be stored in a storage unit. However, cleaning supplies like bleach, ammonia, and others are not permitted in storage units—as they can be flammable, corrosive, or release harmful fumes. For safety reasons, Extra Space Storage does not allow customers to store cleaning supplies that contain hazardous chemicals in storage units.

What Cleaning Supplies Can Go in a Storage Unit?

The best way to store cleaning supplies in a storage unit is to stick to non-toxic, non-flammable products. Mops, brooms, buckets, vacuums, and unopened boxes of sponges and bars of soap are usually allowed. If you're unsure about an item, Extra Space Storage's helpful staff is available to answer your questions.
