A Positively Moving Experience
Packing Clothing Before Moves
In this blog entry, the professional residential moving service and long-distance moving service experts here at Noah’s Ark Moving and Storage will detail the best ways to pack your clothing before your move.
Decluttering Closets
Decluttering closets is absolutely essential before you pack. It’s wasteful to pack items that you’re neer going to use. Look through your closet and separate out clothing that is worn out, old, or no longer fit, and then donate, sell, or give away the clothing. If the clothing is torn or ripped, just throw them out.
Sorting Clothes
Once you declutter your closet, sort your clothes based on material type and season. This way, you can ensure clothing meant for the current season will be on top so that you can unpack it right away. Seasonal clothing can be separated from everyday clothing and properly labeled. If you want to store seasonal clothing for a few months, make sure it is securely packed so that it is protected from moisture or pests.
Labeling Boxes
Pack a separate box with clothing that you’ll need right away after your move, as unpacking and sorting all of your moving boxes might take some time. This way you don’t have to rush to find important clothing. Make sure that you label all boxes based on their contents or necessary rooms they are meant to go into.
Packing Tips
Separate clothing into foldable clothes which should be placed into your wardrobe or hanging clothes meant for hangers. Place hanging clothes in boxes or garment racks if they will be transported for long distances. Vacuum bags are useful for condensing bulkier garments. Foldable clothes can be rolled, folded, and put inside moving boxes which can drastically save a ton of space and lower how many boxes you’ll need. Suitcases and duffel bags are also a great voice for packing folded clothing and shoes.
Packing Cash Saving
Packing and moving can be expensive, so it’s best to lower costs as much as possible. The best way you can save money is by decluttering your closet, using suitcases to pack clothing, or placing clothing in furniture. If you’re running out of packing boxes, fold and pack clothes in garbage bags. Contact the professional residential moving team here at Noah’s Ark Moving and Storage for assistance.
