3 Ways to Make Moving Easier
Whether you’re moving for the first time or the 20th, the process of packing up your furniture, clothing and other belongings and relocating them can be arduous. Here are three ways you can make the job easier.
1. Use Your Clothes and Linens as Packing Material
You have to pack up your clothing, towels and sheets anyway, so why not put them to work as packing material? Stuff your socks inside your kitchen glassware and wrap them in towels. You can also use socks to hold small, fragile decorations. Use your sheets to cover small furniture. Bath towels can make excellent cushions for framed photos or artwork. If you have loosely packed boxes, use T-shirts to stuff between items for extra reinforcement.
2. Ask for Help
Don’t try to do all your moving alone. Now is the time to ask for favors (or cash in on some) from friends and family. If you don’t have enough hands or the right equipment to move everything, hire a moving service. It’s better to call furniture movers Burlington NC than to try to load up your sofa into the trunk of your sedan.
3. Label Your Boxes
Do your future self a favor and label all boxes. You may think you can remember what you packed in each one, but during the hustle and bustle of a move, you may forget where the bathroom toiletries are just when you need them the most.
Take a photo of the box contents before you tape it closed and print the picture for an even more helpful label. Affix it to the outside of the box, and presto — you can see its contents at a glance without having to write out detailed lists.
Moving can be stressful, but with a few handy tips and some extra help, you can pack up and move to your new place in no time.
