10 Apr 5 Smart Packing Tips that Save Serious Time
It’s no secret that moving isn’t exactly the most fun activity. That’s why there are local moving companies, after all. But there are some shortcuts you can take to make the process just a little bit easier.
Here are five simple tips you can use to help save you some serious time moving from Home A to Home B while also cutting down on the amount of supplies you’re using along the way.
Pack during nap-time or move-time
Trying to move when you have kids isn’t easy, but you’re not alone in your struggle. The average mover is part of a couple between the ages of 18 and 34 with one or two kids. To help you move faster during your packing process, consider packing while your kids are distracted. Use nap-time and movie-time to your advantage so you don’t need to dip into your life-savings to use a baby sitter for multiple days.
Keep your clothes in your dresser
When you’re packing your clothes, only pack the ones that are hanging up in your closet. You can keep the clothes in your dresser in their drawers. Just take the drawers out from the dresser, cover them with plastic wrap, and you’re good to go. This makes packing clothes that much easier. It also makes your dresser light to move for local moving companies.
Put foam plates between ceramic plates
An easy to protect your ceramic plates or fine china is to place foam plates between them. This creates a soft cushion for your plates to protect them from chipping. It also saves you a lot of time when you’re packing and unpacking because you’re not wrapping every individual piece of dinnerware that you own.
Store cords and cables in toilet paper rolls
Don’t throw your toilet paper rolls away when you’re finished with a roll. You can use them to keep cords and cables organized during your move. The last thing you want to deal with is a box filled with tangled, unnamed cords. Carefully fold up each cord and cable and tuck them into the toilet paper roll. Write the name of the cord on the roll.
Schedule your move with your local movers
Local moving companies make the moving process that much easier. You don’t need to worry about how you’ll fit everything into your car or finding enough people to help you carry heavier boxes and furniture.
