Slide and roll your clothes

The most important item for a person is his or her clothes. To make life easier in packing and unpacking, simply slide your hanged clothes in garbage bags.

Makeup protection

This is for all the women who are about to move out. Makeup is an investment and it is expensive. You don’t want your powders cracking and getting damaged right? One ingenious tip, put cotton balls inside your compact to avoid it from being broken. Place them in makeup bags and a box labelled as fragile.

Recycle toilet paper rolls for electric cords

All the cords in the house must be organized by stuffing each inside a toilet paper roll so that they won’t get tangled with each other.

Use clothes to wrap items that break and styrofoam

This includes plates, mugs, glasses, and other household items you have that can break. You can also place styrofoams in between your stacked plates.

Choose a moving company using Unpakt

Cling wrap the tip or cover of bottles

Colour code and label your boxes

Utilize your suitcase for heavy items

Make holes in the side of the moving boxes

This will make it easier for you to lift and carry them to the lorry or your car.

One carry-on bag for your essentials

Pack a single bag that contains all of your essential items enough for one night. Once all your suitcases are packed, you don’t want to keep opening them up just because you need something.

Change your address to the new one

This is important so that your friends will know where to find you and your bills, subscriptions, and mail won’t get lost.

De-frost your fridge, and drain your dishwasher and washing machine a day before the move. This will make them easier to carry and load.

Record your expenses during the move because some may be tax-deductible

You may be able to save a little from all the money you let out of your wallet.

Use towels or rugs to drag heavy furniture

They will be easier to drag onto the floor and the lorry making it easier and time efficient for you and the professional movers.

Label the boxes on the side

You stack your boxes in the lorry and the house. Labeling them on the sides will make it easier for you to see which is which even when being on top of each other.

Use Ziplock for screws and other small items
