5 Perfect Toy Storage Ideas for Toy Collectors
The recent release of the movie “Barbie” on the big screen, reminds us of the Barbie dolls in our youth. Toys do not only belong to children but also to many adult collections. Have you ever wished for a big warehouse to store all your beloved toys? For many toy enthusiasts, this must be one of their wish lists’ most significant points. However, not everyone can easily afford a ten thousand cubic feet warehouse, so how can one properly store their beautiful toys without a grand warehouse? Well, self-storage service is usually the way to go. Some people prefer keeping the toys to themselves. Wherever you want your precious stored, Cube has 5 best toy storage ideas for you.

1. Anti-dust
The first thing on the list is anti-dusting. Dust damages toys through accumulation – much like a timed bomb. It seems like nothing at first, but it’s already too late once it goes off. Dusting erodes materials like plastic, fabric, and metal. Heavy dust discolors the toy’s surface, rusts the metal, and ultimately ruins its original form. For those of you who store at home, use different-sized glass or Acrylic plastic showcases to cover your toys. Self-storage services usually offer units in enclosed areas to keep the goods from dirt. While self-storage solution provides well-located units, you can still bring the showcases for extra protection.
2. Thermal Insulation
Temperature is a doll’s biggest enemy – either too hot or too cold will hurt the toy permanently. Overheating degrades plastics and vastly damages the composition. Long-term exposure to heat will melt the toys. Cold temperatures will freeze the toy and crack the paint. Try to maintain the room temperature at 25 degree Celsius. Also avoid exposing your toys to direct sunlight if you store them at home. For self-storage users, look for places with 24/7 climate control system so the temperature would not damage the toys.
3. Dehumidification
Hong Kong is notorious for her humidity – it gets really sticky especially in spring. The humid air can be tricky to keep the toys clean since humid climate is the cradle of mold. Mold is really sneaky – it’s only recognizable when damage has already been done. Fortunately, a dry environment helps to restrain mold bacteria. Keep an air conditioner around to keep the air clean. For self storage users – look for places with well monitored air condition system.
4. Security
Toy collectors undoubtedly have a lot of expensive, limited-edition toys at their disposal. As a result, it should be maintained in a secure location to avoid harm from haphazard touching by others, particularly children or pets. The easiest approach to safeguard your collection of toys is to keep them in a secure location that only you can access.
5. Spacious space

In addition, the lack of collection space will also increase the chance of damage to the toys. In that case, it is not the best way to put a large number of collections at home.
