10 Genius Tips for Packing for Your Move

Moving is a huge task for everyone, especially if you’re going through the whole process on your own. There always seems to be too many items to pack away and too little space in the boxes, not to mention the random items that tend to appear as soon as the boxes are sealed.

 

While there is no universally correct way to pack for a move, there are some ways you can make the whole process more efficient and less stressful. Here are a few of our best-recommended tips and tricks for packing for your upcoming move.

1. Have a Plan

 

Before you start throwing things into boxes just to get them out of the way, take a moment to organize and plan the process. First and foremost, you’ll need to make sure you have everything you’re going to need for the packing process before you actually start packing. Here is a small list of packing essentials:

• Sturdy multi-sized boxes
• Durable packing tape
• Bubble wrap or paper cushioning
• Label stickers
• Permanent markers
• Moving blankets
• Color coding materials
• Notepad or binder

Once you have all your materials on hand and ready to go, you should make a plan for how you’re going to be packing each room as well as how you’ll be sorting each item. Placing things into boxes simply however they fit isn’t particularly safe or efficient, it is best to be mindful of how you pack up the rooms of your home. Plan for the boxes you’ll need for each room as well as how to make sure any delicate or sentimental items are safe when moving.

 

2. Purge While You Pack

 

Moving is the best time to get rid of non-essential clothing and home goods from around the home. Throwing out, donating, or selling items you don’t want to bring with you to your new space or won’t have room for is the best way to minimize the hassle of packing and unpacking. Set aside some space to organize things you plan on getting rid of or are on the fence about bringing, and until you make a decision or are ready to say goodbye, it’ll all be out of the way of the rest of your packing.

 

You should start the purging process as soon as possible, too. In fact, the best time to start is a few months ahead of your big move so that you won’t be in a rush while making choices and risking any mistakes along the way. Be thorough and motivated when decluttering so that you’ll only be bringing the good stuff that makes you and your family happy into your new home.

 

3. Make a List

 

 

You made your plan for packing up each room already, but how do you know what to pack in each room and in what order? Now is the time to sit down and organize a list of the items that will be packed up in each room, as well as items that you’ll be saving for the final moving day. This way you’ll be able to cross things off and make a note of what still needs to be done so you won’t be running around trying to figure out why certain things haven’t been packed yet.

 

The more organized and thoughtful you are about the packing process, the less stressful and chaotic the unpacking process will be. Remember that you are basically saving your future self a huge amount of time and headaches when you make notes and lists. Be meticulous and over-prepared now so that you’ll be ready for everything later.

 

4. Round Up Cables

 

Electronics and their respective wires and chargers can easily take up tons of space when packing up the house. Plus if you’re anything of a pack-rat, you might have a pile of cables and cords that you haven’t figured out how to use around the house in some time. To make packing these lengthy and mismatched wires a simple task, try these tips:

• Sort them out by capability
• Keep current spare phone chargers in an accessible location
• Make sure wires are untangled before wrapping or rolling them up
• Use a twist or zip tie to secure cords
• Place cords in labeled bags to save space
• Keep bags of cords with corresponding electronics

 

5. No “Almost Empties”

 

We mentioned decluttering earlier, but here’s something to keep in mind when it comes to the bathroom and kitchen in particular. If you have any items that have been so close to empty or sat broken in a drawer for far too long, it’s time to toss them out. These little “almost empties” and broken or worn-out items don’t need to take up any space in a box or bag that is already near capacity. Here is a little example of the items that don’t need priority space in your moving boxes:

• Mealtime leftovers
• Close to empty condiments
• Cleaning supplies on their last use
• Worn out and stained towels
• Large bottles with little product
• Thoroughly squeezed tubes of toothpaste
• Broken tools or electronics

 

6. Label EVERYTHING

 

 

This little tip should basically be a no-brainer: put labels on every box and bag you fill. Future you should have no questions as to where something is or what’s in a particular box. Label the top and sides of each box so that everything can be sorted and organized properly at any stage of the process. Make a system for packing up each room and make sure everything is labeled accurately. You should also make sure that boxes containing glass and other fragile items are clearly and obviously labeled so that there is no risk of anything breaking.

 

You can also simplify things by creating a color-coding or numbering system for rooms or zones within your current and new homes. Grab a set of colored stickers or markers and map out how everything can be organized and unpacked when it comes time for that. We’ll say it again: remember to save your future self a headache!

 

7. Know the Contents

 

When you’re packing your moving boxes in each room, make a note of what you’re placing in each one. We suggest having a physical list of the contents of each box so that you know exactly where everything is. You can keep track of everything best when you have a color coding system or number assigned to each box, that way you can make sure every box goes to the right room when you’re starting to unpack.

 

Another great reason to have a list of each box’s contents is so that if you hire a moving company, the movers know to be careful when moving your items into and out of their truck. You’ll also be able to tell if any items or whole boxes are missing after you’ve moved and be able to let the company know what you’re looking for. It is best to be prepared for anything, especially when moving.

 

8. Save the Essentials for Last

 

As you get closer and closer to moving day, you’ll probably start to notice how empty your home feels when everything is being packed away. However, not everything in the home should be tucked neatly away. Your toiletries, frozen and refrigerated food, in-season clothing, medications, and kid/pet supplies should remain unpacked until the day of the move. What would be the use of packing all your clothes away if you’re still going to need to wear them?

 

No one likes living out of boxes, so remember to set your daily essential items aside while you pack up everything else. We suggest having a designated space or room in which everyone can set aside some clothes, electronics, supplies, and toiletries so that everything you don’t need to pack yet is out of the way.

 

9. Keep Cleaning Supplies Handy

 

When you clear a room of everything that can be packed up and removed, you’ll likely notice how much dust and debris has accumulated. Ideally, you’ll also notice that you now have access to areas of the room that haven’t received TLC in years. Our tip is to keep your cleaning supplies and equipment unpacked and at the ready so that you’ll be able to give each room a deep clean once it’s been completely packed up.

Here are some cleaning essentials to have on hand before moving day:

• Multi-surface cleaner
• Glass cleaner
• Shower/ tub cleaner
• Cleaning rags or paper towels
• Disinfectant spray/ wipes
• Rubber gloves
• Vacuum
• Broom/ sweeper mop
• Carpet cleaner
• Mop

 

10. Make an Unpacking Plan

 

One of the best ways to simplify the unpacking process once you’ve transferred all of your belongings to your new space, is by having a plan. If you’re lucky enough to have access to your new home before you officially move out of your old one, you can start the unpacking process anytime you want!

 

Try setting goals or having an organizational motivation when you unpack, you’ll get the job done in no time. Better yet, before you unpack, make sure you have bins, shelves, and other organizational tools for around the house to keep everything looking as tidy as possible. Welcome to your new home!

 

Benefits

 

 

If you’re wondering why you should even bother putting in extra time and effort when packing for a move, allow us to resolve that. We know packing can be a pain and can often become chaotic and overwhelming, but imagine if there was no rhyme or reason for the way you packed your moving boxes. Unpacking would be just as hectic, fragile items could break during the move, sentimental family belongings could be lost, and your new home could become even more of a mess than your old one.

 

When you create and utilize a system for packing each room and item within your old home, you are more mindful and careful with the things you love. Moving is an opportunity to get organized and declutter down to the essentials so that you can come into your new space with a clear mind and tidy atmosphere. Take some time to throw out the old so that you can truly start fresh with the new!

 

FAQ

 

Where do I start decluttering for a move?

When you are starting to declutter your home before a move, you should always start in the room you and your family use the least so that you have a space to set aside your essential items for later. Once your essentials are out of the way, decluttering and packing each room will be easier.

 

What do movers move first?

Professional movers will almost always move the largest and heaviest items in the home, like furniture and appliances, first. This is to ensure that there will be space on their truck for other pieces of furniture and moving boxes.

 

How do I start a moving plan?

When creating a plan for moving, always start by creating a room-by-room packing checklist and set aside a budget for a moving company and packing supplies. You’ll also want to start decluttering every room of your home as early as possible so that you’ll only be packing necessities.

 

What order should you move stuff in?

When moving, you should move your larger furniture and appliances first, followed by smaller and non-essential items. If you aren’t bringing appliances, you should still ensure that your larger furniture is loaded onto the moving truck first so that there is room for smaller furniture and boxes later on.

 

What should you not do when moving?

The most important things you should never do is not allow yourself enough time to pack properly and not packing with care or purpose. Packing moving boxes is a very important part of the moving process and can even make or break the whole moving experience.

The Ultimate Guide to Cleaning Your Windows

Cleaning windows can be a struggle, especially when it’s time to finally clean the outside. We know window cleaning is almost nobody’s favorite chore, but there’s no reason it should be more complicated than it is. To help keep window cleaning simple, here is our guide to cleaning your home’s windows, inside and out, like a professional.

Get the Windows Ready for Cleaning

 

 

Before you start, you should ensure you and your home are prepped and ready for cleaning. Since you’ll be using cleaning products and water, you’ll need to protect the areas around your windows. Here are a few things to keep in mind when prepping:

• Lay a towel down under the window you’ll be focusing on, and make sure you have a few extras on hand just in case.
• Remove any dust and loose debris from around the windows with a vacuum or by wiping down the area with a damp cloth.
• Pull up any blinds on the windows and give those a good dusting to keep them from redistributing debris on the newly cleaned windows later.
• Move any curtains out of the way. Shake them out outside and maybe toss them in the wash or a quick tumble in the dryer if they are fabric.
• If your windows have removable screens, you’ll want to get those out of the way. Make sure to label them so that you can put them back correctly. It could also be a good idea to rinse the
• screens with a hose and allow them to dry in the open air before replacing them.
• Have all your cleaning supplies ready. You’ll need: Microfiber cloths (Note: We don’t recommend paper towels or newspapers as these are more likely to leave streaks, haze, and lint on the glass.), a squeegee, a spray bottle, glass cleaner or cleaning solution of choice and water.

 

DIY Window Cleaner

 

If you’ve tried just about every glass cleaning product available and haven’t found one that works, you most likely have the solution at your fingertips. Here are some of our favorite DIY window and glass cleaning solutions:

 

1. Vinegar

This method is our best recommendation, and it’s super simple! All you’ll need is white distilled vinegar and some water, plus your spray bottle. In the spray bottle, combine 1 part vinegar with 2 parts water and then shake it gently to mix it together. The acidity of the vinegar is what makes this so effective as a glass cleaner, plus it can kill bacteria and cut through tough grime. We told you this method was easy!

 

2. Lemon Juice

 

 

If you don’t like using (or smelling) vinegar around the house, that’s okay. We know vinegar can be pretty strong and harsh on the nose, so here’s your solution. All you have to do for this DIY method is replace vinegar from the previous recipe with lemon juice. The acidity of the lemon juice is a bit stronger than vinegar, but it is just as effective and definitely smells better. Who doesn’t appreciate their home smelling lemony-fresh after cleaning?

 

3. Dish Soap

There are a few ways you can incorporate dish soap into DIY cleaning solutions. You can easily use it on its own by adding a few drops to some clean water, giving you an effective window cleaner. Another effective way to use dish soap is by adding a drop or two to either of the previous recipes for a pretty powerful cleaning boost.

 

4. Tea Tree Essential Oil

Another way to combat the scent of chemicals or vinegar is by adding essential oils to your DIY recipes. Our favorite essential oil to use is tea tree because not only does it smell amazing, but it also fights against bacteria and helps prevent mold growth. You only need to add a few drops to your DIY cleaner to see the difference, so we suggest using essential oil with our favorite vinegar method for the ultimate cleaning solution.

 

Cleaning Inside

 

 

Now that you have the area around your windows protected and your supplies at the ready, you can get started with the cleaning process from inside. Here is our quick guide to cleaning the interior of your windows like a pro:

• Make sure you have wiped down the windows and window panes with a wet cloth to remove any loose dust and debris from the surface.
• Using your chosen cleaning product or DIY solution, spray a small amount starting from the top of the window glass and moving down. (Note: Do your best to keep the cleaner away from surfaces that aren’t glass.)
• Wipe the cleaner all around the glass with a dry microfiber cloth to clean the window using an S-motion to avoid the cleaner drying on the glass while you clean it.
• Spray a small amount of cleaner on any stubborn areas of grease or grime around the window. Only use the cleaner in small amounts and do your best to not allow the cleaner to pool at the base of the window.
• Using a fresh microfiber cloth or a squeegee, wipe away the remaining cleaner once the glass has been cleaned completely. If you are using a squeegee, make sure you keep the blade in contact with the glass to avoid leaving streaks and drips.
• Check the glass for any streaks or stray marks. You can use a fresh microfiber towel to buff these from the surface of the glass for a shiny and streak-free finish.

 

Cleaning Outside

 

Once all of your windows are now shiny and clean on the inside, make sure they’re all closed because it’s time to shift your focus to the outside. For the best results when cleaning your windows from the outside, here is our go-to method:

• Ensure that all windows are securely closed and surrounding areas inside are protected from potential leaks.
• Use your garden hose to spray away the surface layers of dirt and grime that have accumulated.
• To scrub and remove stubborn grime, we recommend using an extendable pole that you can attach microfiber cleaning cloths to. Climbing up and down a ladder to clean your windows is time-consuming and even dangerous especially if you are cleaning them on your own.
•  Apply your cleaning solution to the cloth on the extendable pole to clean high-up and hard-to-reach windows. (Note: There are some hose-attachable window cleaners available to purchase, so you can look into one of those to shave off some time when cleaning.)
• Rinse the cleaner away thoroughly with your hose.
• Use a fresh microfiber cloth or extendable squeegee to dry the windows.

 

How Often to Clean Windows

 

 

We know cleaning your windows can be a time-consuming chore to take on, especially when you’re cleaning both inside and out. Thankfully, you should only have to clean both sides of your windows about 2 or 3 times a year, depending on the environment where you live. Pollen levels, rainy weather, tree sap, and even birds can add to the debris that collects on and around your windows. Make sure to regularly check the state of your windows from the outside in order to stay on top of their cleanliness.

 

FAQ

 

What should you not do to clean windows?

 

When cleaning your windows, you should not use an ammonia-based cleaner and avoid cleaning them in direct sunlight as both of these can create excessive streaking and haze. You should also aim to use a squeegee when drying them and removing excess cleaner and water.

 

What causes windows to get dirty inside?

 

Windows can get dirty inside because of dust, grease, and other particulates that accumulate and stick to the glass. Windows in the kitchen are especially susceptible to grease build-up and can be particularly difficult and stubborn to clean.

 

Can vinegar damage glass windows?

 

Vinegar won’t damage and is completely safe to use on glass windows and mirrors. In fact, we encourage it! Just remember not to use vinegar to clean anything like electronics or stone such as granite and marble.

 

What do professional window cleaners use in their water?

 

Many professional window cleaners use purified and treated water, but they can also use simple cleaning agents like a few drops of dish soap in water. This solution is super simple but highly effective when cleaning windows, which is why we suggest trying it out for yourself.

 

What is the best time of day to clean windows?

 

 

The best time of day to clean your windows is early in the morning before the sun is fully up so that it doesn’t hit your windows directly. You can also save window cleaning for an overcast day without rain, as long as there is no direct sunlight on your windows. This is because the sunlight can cause your cleaning solution and water to evaporate more quickly and leave water stains and streaks on the window while you clean.

 

Why do my windows look worse after cleaning?​​

 

Your windows can look worse than when you started often because of the amount of sunlight hitting them or even if you leave the solution for too long and it dries on the glass. Your home’s water can also be a contributing factor to streaks and haze as hard water leaves cloudy mineral deposits on most surfaces.

 

How do your windows look after cleaning then? What kind of cleaning tips and tricks do you use when cleaning your windows? Share your thoughts in the comments below, we love hearing from you! If your windows have become too much of a struggle to keep clean and shiny on a regular basis, don’t worry.
