Most would agree that moving isn’t the most fun ordeal, but it does produce a wonderful outcome— a new home. One of the most important parts of the moving process is being well prepared and organized, so we at Cut N Dry Restoration want to make sure this process remains stress-free by providing you with these moving tips.
Cut back on the clutter
If you haven’t already begun, soon you’ll be packing up all your belongings into boxes and bags. Excess clutter can make this more stressful for you, which is why we recommend purging unnecessary items beforehand. Read our blog “How to Declutter Your Home” to get step-by-step details on the best way to tackle the mess.
Pack far in advance
It can be challenging to pack your stuff ahead of time, especially if you don’t know what you’ll be needing. Nothing would be worse than packing something important and realizing you need it, only to find out it’s under an unknown pile. That’s why we suggest packing off-season items and items that you use infrequently.
Hire professional cleaners
This tip applies to those who are moving out of a rental space. Leaving it in pristine condition is essential to getting your full security deposit back, which is why you should invest in professional carpet cleaning and cleaners to ensure you don’t lose any money.
Invest in moving equipment
Although it may be annoying to purchase supplies for the move, you will appreciate it. The last thing you want is to find out you’ve run out of tape in the middle of the move. Here’s a list of items you should be well stocked up on:
Scissors
Box cutters
Garbage bags
Packing tape
Permanent markers
Pack a separate bag with your essentials
Keep important documents and everyday essentials separate from the rest of your packed belongings. You should keep a spare outfit, toiletries, medications, and paperwork with you in case something gets lost.
