Although moving day is exciting, it can also become stressful very quickly. Fortunately, there are several ways you can prepare for the day of your move to reduce the likelihood of chaos and ensure that your move goes as smoothly as possible. As a moving services provider, Advantage Moving & Storage knows what is necessary to ensure a trouble-free moving day.

Tips from our moving services experts.

  1. Last Minute Packing Supplies

All too often, professionals who specialize in moving services find that people suddenly find a full drawer of toys or some books on a shelf that they did not come across before and would like to pack. In the likely event that this occurs, you should be prepared with last minute packing supplies so that you can easily pack these items up and make sure that they are moved as well. Last minute packing supplies can include color coded packing tape, spare boxes, plastic wrap, bags, and permanent markers.moving services

  1. Toiletries

You will want to brush your teeth and maybe even shower and use the restroom on the day of the move. Therefore, you must pack a bag full of toiletries such as a hair brush, towel, toothpaste, a toothbrush, toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner, and soap.

  1. Cleaning Supplies

To ensure that your property is in top-notch condition before you move, you will need to use cleaning supplies on the day of the move. Mover services suggest that cleaning supplies such as large and durable trash bags, all-purpose cleaner to clean doors, countertops, and other surfaces, and cleaning equipment such as a vacuum cleaner are available on the day of the move.

  1. Medications

Medications should be easily accessible on moving day. In addition to your regular prescription medications, painkillers should be kept on hand. A first-aid kit that will be useful in the event of injuries or accidents is also important.

  1. Documents

Along with your personal ID documents, you’ll need a variety of papers such as a copy of a rental lease, a contract with a moving services provider, an inventory sheet, and a checklist to make sure nothing is overlooked. It’s also a smart idea to keep a notepad and pen handy in case you need to jot down some important information.
