Home Moving: How to Prepare

Moving to a new home is never easy and often stressful. In this article, we will talk about how to prepare for moving to a new home and make the process easier.

Get rid of excess

A home move is a good time to throw away, give away, or sell things you don't need.

If you have not used appliances or clothes for more than a year, they are unlikely to be needed in the future.

Use services, sites for the sale of used goods, donate things to charity, recycling.

If you haven't done either one, throw it away. Why waste time and money transporting unnecessary junk?

Prepare your new home

If possible, carry out a general, wet cleaning; throw away unnecessary things and furniture. Free up space in cabinets and shelves.

To protect floors from minor damage and dirt, cover them with a protective film.

When you bring things in, you do not have to take off your shoes every time you enter.

Wash the curtains, clean the carpets in advance. After moving to a new apartment, there will be many other worries.

Check the operation of outlets, plumbing.

This will save time after the move and prevent possible damage to property due to faulty communications.

Make a plan for the location of household appliances and large furniture. So you save time and energy on changing the arrangement.

Gather boxes of essentials

Separately fold things that will be needed immediately after the apartment move: clothes, underwear, phone chargers, cosmetics, dishes, household chemicals and other items.

Gather a first aid kit with medicines, a bandage, an antiseptic, a band-aid, and brilliant green. Keep medical supplies handy.

Also place food, snacks prepared in advance inside the essentials boxes. It is unlikely that you will have the time and opportunity to cook a full lunch or dinner.
