Last-Minute Moving Hacks Every Homeowner Must Try

Posted on 29 October, 2021 by Careful Hands Movers

​Packing is the most stressful and time-consuming task for a house move. So, it must start a few weeks before the moving day. Last-minute packing is a big no since collecting the boxes and organizing your stuff is too much to handle at the last minute. Plus, there is always the risk of missing out on your accessories and valuables at the last minute.

But it is not an option for anyone. In most cases, people have all their household items lying on the floor with the Melbourne Western Surburbs Removalists waiting to lift and transport everything. So, here are a few last-minute packing tips for an easy move.

Gather the Right Supplies

First things first, you need a set of cardboard boxes or crates to pack your items for a hassle-free move. Whether you are packing at the last minute or starting early, get high-quality packing supplies. Your electronics, kitchenware, toiletries, clothes, expensive jewelry, and fragile items are to be transported from one location to another.

Do not use random boxes for packing. Order crates for rent or buy cardboard boxes in different sizes to streamline the job. In addition, you need labels, scissors, and tapes to organize everything. Gather these supplies and start packing.

Room by Room Packing

Packing for a house at the last minute will not give you enough time to organize and label everything or have separate boxes for items in different categories. That’s why you should consider room-by-room packing. Take one room at a time and put a label on the boxes containing items from that room.

For example, you can start with the kitchen. Grab a few boxes and fill them with all your kitchen appliances and accessories. Move on to the bedrooms, drawing rooms, toilets, and the home office.

Use Trash Bags

The last-minute packing can be so stressful that people often end up missing important items. Now, a trash bag for a house move may sound odd and dirty but that’s what people do when they don’t have everything packed and organized in advance.

A trash bag has the space to hold more items than your regular cardboard boxes. Don’t forget to mark these bags or label them so they are not confused for the trash bags.

Do not Remove the Hangers

We remove the clothes from the hangers, fold them, and then pack them in different bags. However, one last-minute packing tip is to leave your clothes on hangers and pack them as they are. Not only does it save you time, but it is easier to unpack everything once you have arrived at your new place. You can use trash bags, suitcases, or cardboard boxes for your wardrobe. If you don’t have time to separate fancy and regular wear, stuff them into one big box and you can sort them later.

Hire Melbourne to Gold Coast removalists to streamline the moving process. They will help you with the assembly and disassembly of the heavy furniture sets, thus making the house move an efficient process for you.
