Things To Do Before You Move





PURGE YOUR BEDROOM

Donate everything that you do not need, this is a simple tip when it comes to downsizing and saving money on your move. In addition, you are supposed to replace your mattress every 7-10 years, or else the mattress starts deteriorating. Ask yourself, does it make sense to hold onto your mattress before you move? Go through your bed sheets. Old sheets can have stains and weird odors, could be worth a refreshing set by purchasing new ones; keep in mind that fewer boxes on move day, means less inventory; this equates to less volume, and the less volume you have, the less a moving company can charge you, this is the best way in hiring the most reliable affordable moving company.


THROW OUT YOUR 10-YEAR-OLD LIPSTICK

Over time, makeup collects bacteria and can go bad. As fun as it may be to have loads of lipstick, it may be worth the downsize of your collection to avoid using expired products and purchasing new ones.


DO A CRAFT CLEANSE

Those of us who craft may have more than we need. Look through your closet and see what can be disposed of or given away. If your leftover art supplies are in good condition, consider giving them to a shelter.


DONATE YOUR BOOKS

Books can pile up, and there's no need to take them with you, especially if you don't plan on rereading them. Instead, consider donating books to a prison library or homeless shelter.


ORGANIZE YOUR BAGS

For the bag/purse lovers, ii would advise you to go through your collection; if your handbags are high quality, consider selling them online. Then, decide which tote bags are worth keeping in the moving industry boxes add up in your costs as your costs are usually determined by cubic feet; the average size of a box is about five cubic feet.


HELP THOSE IN NEED WITH YOUR EXTRA BABY CLOTHES AND ITEMS

If you've got an old car seat, stroller, or high chair lying around, consider donating them to a women's shelter or a non-profit that accepts baby items. Also, donate some old baby clothes your child can't wear anymore.


EAT EVERYTHING YOU HAVE

In the weeks before your move, start diving into your pantry. Use your spices and get crafty with cooking so you don't have to move additional foodstuff that you could eat!


CONSOLIDATE EVERYTHING

Go through the shelves of your bathroom and kitchen, and look through your products. Do you have doubles of anything? For example, do you have two half-full bottles of the same shampoo? Can you pour one bottle into the other? Do you have empties that could be thrown out? Consolidate your belongings, so you don't have to pay for additional (unnecessary) boxes in the move!


GO THROUGH YOUR PET SUPPLIES

Do you have a bunch of chewed-up dog toys? Or one of those cat condos that your cat has destroyed? Many pet accessories may need to be replaced with time, especially if you have unruly pets who love to play.

Moving can be an excellent opportunity to clean out your home. Be sure to declutter yours before getting a moving quote from a moving company. That way, you can save money on the move! If you require a storage unit, ask your NYC moving company to see if they can arrange that for you.
