Getting Your Home Ready for Moving Out Day
We aren’t moving anytime soon but my good friend just did and I was thinking of everything that goes into moving out. I was so unorganized last time we moved that I thought of all the things I would do differently and wanted to share them with you, in case you find yourself in the same unorganized panic as me :) Moving out day comes with a lot of stress, but we don’t want you to be in a constant state of panic leading up to this event. Instead, you should take some steps to ensure that the process goes as smoothly as possible, and we’ve got a couple of things for you to think about if you don’t already know how to do this. If you want to know more about this topic, keep reading down below.
Organize All Of Your Belongings
You want to make sure that everything is organized and ready to go. If everything is thrown about everywhere, you’re never going to be sure what’s been done and what hasn’t. You need to go through everything you own and decide what you’re keeping, as well as what you’re going to throw away. Everything that you are keeping with you needs to be boxed up, labelled clearly and ready to go when the day comes. Make a list of all the boxes you have with their labels on them, so that when they go, you can tick it off. By doing this, you are keeping yourself organized, and you know where everything is.
Clean, Clean, Clean
You’ve got to clean your home before you leave it to move into the new place. Go around and do this room by room to ensure that you’ve got absolutely everything clean. Start with your upstairs and work your way down. Go for rooms that you don’t use first as these are the least likely to get messed up again, especially if you have kids running around. Then, as you approach the moving date, start doing this with the other rooms.
Big items like an oven should be cleaned at least a week in advance so that you know it is done. Depending on the state of your oven, it could need more than one clean, so make sure you have checked this out as you don’t want to panic the day before you move over the oven not being clean.
Hire The Services That You Need
Finally, you need to make sure that the services you need are hired and ready to go. For example, you might want to look into services like Two Men and A Truck for removals and any other company that you can think of to handle the things that you can’t do alone. We know we just looked at cleaning the place, but if this isn’t your thing or you know that the place needs a deep clean, there are services available to you. Just make sure that you’re not trying to do it alone, and you do your research into the best companies to help you. It will take so much stress out of the entire process, and you’ll feel a lot better about it.
I hope that you have found this article helpful, and now see some of the ways that you can go about getting your home ready for moving out day. Good luck, and I hope doing these things takes away some of the stress for you!
Cheers!
