Now that you've got your furniture scenario rectified, let's get to some other moving tips for regular movers!
Moving Hacks for Regular Movers
Clothes:
Different clothing into seasons. Winter season, Summer, Fall, Spring.
After separating, leave clothing that are on wall mounts, ON the hangers and after that wrap a piece of tape around groups of wall mounts (possibly 5-10 at a time). This will keep them together, and not tumble around for the next step.
Then put a garbage bag over them, and poke a hole through the garbage bag's bottom for the wall mounts to come through. Clothes move A LOT EASIER this way!
Write on the exterior of the garbage bags which seasonal group of clothing they are.
( Travel Suitcases and Tote Bags).
Grab all the travel suitcases and lug bags you have and load folded clothing, kids clothing, socks, underwear, etc. in them.
Sort and Box:.
Plastic Bins with Covers vs. Cardboard.
Regular movers-- consider buying several plastic storage boxes with lids vs. using cardboard boxes. First off-- you can reuse them over, and over, and over again!
They stack perfectly, and do not get smushed in the move. AND you don't need to stress over having to scramble to discover boxes at the grocery store on 3rd shift, right?!
Before you box your kitchenware and home decoration up, go through and sort. ONLY pack things you want to go inside your new house. Sort whatever else into groups for giving away, getting rid of, or selling (if you're having a moving sale!).
Whatever you're taking with you-- store in boxes. You can use clothing to cover glass items, vs. newspaper.
Books and Papers:.
Do you have tons books and paper stacks? Select your favorite books and sort through the drawers and cabinets filled with old documents, expenses, etc. Throw out what isn't required! You'll find you need barely ANY of it since most stuff is done online now.
You can sell or donate the remainder of the books you do not need!
Keep in mind the ASAP needfulls:.
As quickly as you arrive to your new home, there are going to be things that you need immediately. Coffee machine, coffee, shower items, towels, cleaning products, paper towels, breakfast foods, fresh clothes, and so on. Make certain to load these things LAST in the moving trucks so that they're the very first things you pull out on arrival.
Unpack As You Need Things:.
Once moved into your new home, only unpack things as you require them. You may find that you've got several boxes of things that you have not unpacked in a year. It's apparent, you actually do not want or need these things so you can eliminate them. Less things to have to move, the next time!
