The Art of Packing like a Pro
Reduce and simplify for a more organized new home.
While you're packing, you'll probably find items that you no longer need or want. Donating items before you move can save you time when you unpack and organize your new home.
Where to donate:
Charity stores like Goodwill and Salvation Army are popular places to donate unneeded items. You can also donate clothing to the American Red Cross, books to local libraries, and gently used toys or stuffed animals to doctor's offices, police stations, and fire departments.
Tidying Up The Space
Dusting off and disinfecting items while packing will make moving easier. It can also help you organize and keep better track of things you want to keep or leave behind. Before unloading all your boxes into your new home, pull out the cleaning supplies to dust off surfaces, disinfect bathrooms, and vacuum your floor. You never know how many people toured your home during the buying process. Hiring professional cleaners offers a deeper, longer-lasting clean.

DIY Moving
Renting a moving truck or storage unit lets you call the shots in your big move. If you're doing most of the heavy lifting on your own, plan well in advance and try to relocate on a weekend where there's likely to be more flexibility in your schedule. Begin the move as early as possible to avoid the heat or rush hour traffic. Call on friends or family members you can count on to help you load and unload items for a few hours. Book your moving truck or storage unit at least a month ahead of time to ensure availability. Visit the storage unit to assess the measurements of the space so you pick a size that can comfortably fit your possessions.
The proper lift to avoid moving injuries.
