Here at Milt’s Mini Storage we want to show you the ultimate guide on packing your home for your next move and how self storage can help you. Studies have shown that around 40 million people a year in America move into a new space whether it is a home or an apartment. Moving into a new home is a big deal and can be anxiety-inducing or overwhelming. We have provided a list of what to do to ensure that your move goes smoothly.
- Start Sorting
- When you start planning on moving into a new home this is the perfect time to start the process of cleaning and decluttering. We recommend sorting your items into these categories; items going to the new home, items to be donated or sold, items that can be thrown away, and items to put into storage. Once you have finished sorting, you can then move on the next steps of the moving process.
- Gather Your Moving Materials
- Anyone who has packed and moved before knows how important it is to have the proper supplies when starting the move. As you are planning on how to pack for a move make sure you include these supplies; boxes and/or totes, bubble wrap, foam peanuts, packing tape, scissors, labels, markers, and furniture padding or covers.
- Packing Items for Storage
- Packing for a move can be difficult because you have to decide whether you are putting your items in storage or to your new home. Items you plan on keeping in boxes, we recommend choosing a self storage facility. Here are some tips for when you plan on putting your items into storage; use totes instead of boxes, feel free to pack more into a box, and create and inventory list of each items in your boxes.
