Moving Tips
Get all of your moving supplies in one trip
There’s nothing more inconvenient than running back and forth to HomeDepot because you ran out of moving supplies. Get everything you need in one trip to save time as you pack and move.
Purge items to sell or donate.
Go through your items before you pack to decide which items you’ll keep and which you’ll get rid of.
Wrap fragile items in soft linens.
You can save space in boxes and bubble wrap when you wrap hand or dish towels around fragile items. Stuff drinking glasses with clean pairs of socks to prevent them from breaking (and remember to give the glasses a quick rinse before you use them).
Color code and label boxes for each room.
Stay organized with each packed box. Assign a color to each room and mark the boxes accordingly. Go the extra mile and label each box with its contents.
Put knives in an oven mitt for protection.
As you pack up your kitchen, put the sharp end of knives into an oven mitt or wrap them in a dish towel. Use some packing tape to secure them to prevent injuries when you unpack.
