The Best Tips And Hacks For Moving
Let’s face it, moving is a stressful back-breaking experience. Before you call your crew or hire the truck, we have a few of the best tips and hacks to make moving a little bit easier. Here we go!
Clean, Toss, & Donate
Before packing begins, go through the kitchen, baths, basement, and garage. Throw away any broken or worn-out belongings. Clean out the kitchen pantry of any old or out-of-date food and spices. Consider donating gently worn clothes, furniture, and children’s items to a charity. This first step will not only mean packing less but also help get rid of clutter and might help someone in need.
Color Code
Another of the best tips and hacks for moving is to color-code your moving materials, like bags and boxes. Color coding the kitchen blue or the master bedroom green makes a simple task for the right boxes to get to the right rooms. Here are a few examples of color coding a move –
- Label All kitchen boxes can with red markers or decals
- Living room boxes with blue
- Bathrooms in yellow, and so on
Clothes

Or wrap the entire dresser, take a look at how the professionals tackle this job here. Keep Clothing on hangers and cover them with a trash bag to keep them clean until they hang in the new closet.
Handy Bag
A pro tip for moving is to pack a bag of essentials. When packing this bag, keep in mind what you might need or want to have on hand throughout the move. Pack snacks, drinks, and disposable eating utensils. Include necessities for your pets, or games and toys to occupy your little ones. Paper towels and a first aid kit are always good to have on hand. Place the bag somewhere like the passenger side of your car, so it does not get packed away with other belongings.
