So you’ve just bought a new home. That’s
pretty exciting, until you realize the work involved in moving. From packing to
unpacking, you will need an extra hand from a moving company. However, even if
they are there to do the difficult tasks, there are a few things that only you
can do. To make the experience roll along a whole lot smoother, use the
following tips to your advantage:
Pre-clean
If at all possible, show up at your new
home before the move and pre-clean the bathroom and kitchen. This will make
taking a bath and getting meals ready after the move a whole lot easier. This
is also the ideal time to bring over smaller essentials such as soap, shampoo,
towels, toilet paper, toothbrushes, and toothpaste.
Label your boxes
Label your box down its side rather than
on top. This will allow you to read the label even if the boxes are stacked. Aside
from listing what’s in the box, label it with the room it’s intended for as
well. You may also want to color code the boxes and the rooms with colored
sticky tape to make it even more intuitive.
Book movers early
Most people plan their moves to coincide
with the last day of the month. This can make this time rather hectic for moving
companies that have built a reputation
for customer satisfaction. To ensure that you secure a slot with the mover you
prefer, always book them as early as possible.
