Top Five Moving Tips and Hacks – 2020
1. Organize Boxes By Weight
Organising the boxes by weight will keep you away from lifting a surprisingly heavy load. We are pretty much sure that you are categorising your belongings first before putting them into boxes. Well, while it helps you to label the boxes properly, it will also prevent any kind of health injuries. One of the tips that we have shared in our previous article is to take all your stuff and put it outside your house. This will help you save money because moving companies charge by the hour. Once you have marked your boxes for their weight, you can pick up the lighter boxes and put them outside. Keep the heavy ones for the moving company.
2. Take What You Need
We will keep pressing on it until you do with it. We highly recommend you declutter your house so that you are only moving in with the things you need. One of the best ways to do that is by designating a donation area for all the items before you start packing. The donation can be for all the items that you do not require. If there are larger items like furniture, you can always sell or donate them.
3. Take Pictures For Easy Setup
To make sure the items you are moving are safe, you must click pictures on your phone of the box’s contents. We even recommend you take pictures of your entertainment setup so that you are well acquainted with the wiring arrangement. This will help you set up everything in your new home like a pro. You can even go for plastic containers so that you don’t have to label your boxes.
4. Dismantle and Move
If you have items that can be dismantled, you should do that so that you can save some space during the move. However, you should definitely mark where the different pieces are going so that you don’t end up rifling through the boxes to find the missing parts. If there are any screws or bolts involved, you should put them in an envelope and tape it to the largest module.
5. Keep Your Clothes on Hangers
One of the best ways to use space wisely is to keep your clothes hanging on the hangers. Group them accordingly and put them in the largest bag that you can use. If possible use the white bags so that you are able to label them properly. The same can go with the drawers. Instead of emptying the drawers, you can roll up the clothes and cover the drawers to keep the insides intact.
