When people say home moving is one of life’s most stressful events, they mean it – take it from us!
It can be a chaotic event to experience for the first time, but thankfully, there are ways to navigate this stressful time – even if you don’t hire professionals like TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®. Regardless of the type of move, taking the necessary steps to plan ahead and stay organized can go a long way in making it an enjoyable experience.
Below, we’ve assembled five “overlooked” moving essentials everyone should know to help tackle the home moving process and get through moving day without any hiccups!
Make a moving checklist
Remember above where we mentioned planning and organizing? It starts with creating a moving checklist! This will serve as a roadmap for the entire moving process, from the day you schedule your move, until the moment the final piece of furniture is moved into your new home.
You can monitor the progress you’re making as you go and keep track of important details like cleaning your home, packing, changing your address, selling your house, labeling your boxes, and more. For help with creating a moving checklist, click here.
Cleaning supplies
Having cleaning supplies on hand can serve as a dual-purpose moving essential, as you can clean up anything at your old home before you leave, and do any cleaning at the new home after you arrive. Having a box ready with antibacterial wipes, disinfecting spray, all-purpose cleaner, and some old rags or towels can provide a huge benefit to moving day and helping you get organized.
Plastic bags
With your personal belongings packed away, you’ll still need a way to transport some loose items, and that’s where a few plastic or tote bags can be handy. Similarly, these can be used for cleaning up random debris and garbage which will accumulate as you move in or out of a home.
Batteries and chargers
Moving day can’t get in the way of our technology and gadgets, right? Always have batteries and chargers readily available on moving day for whatever personal technology you need. You never know when your phone might need a charge or when you need to get that Bluetooth speaker running.
Tool kit
The chances of having a perfect move in day where no minor fixes or adjustments need to be made are very slim, and that’s why it’s nice to make sure you have a readily available tool kit. You can tend to any quick fixes right away and get back to focusing on more important tasks related to the move.
