8 Tips for a Stree-Free Move
8 Tips for a Stress-Free Move
Check social media to see if anyone is giving away moving supplies. Your local Nextdoor group, neighborhood Facebook groups and ‘Buy Nothing’ groups are all great places to check for this.
Vacuum pack blankets, towels and heavier-weight clothes.
Roll clothes and secure with a rubber band before packing. Rolled clothes take up much less space than folded.
Use colored labels on your boxes to code room destinations.
Wrap small kitchen items in bubble wrap or towels before packing them securely inside pots with lids to consolidate space.
Use foam padding to safely stack kitchenware before wrapping the whole stack in a towel or bubble wrap.
Put heavier items such as books and wrapped decorative items into suitcases with wheels
Label all power cords and put them in one bag so they are easily accessible later.
