Bathroom packing is - thankfully - one of the easier things to do because you cannot take a sink and a bath with you!

With any luck, this bathroom packing guide will help you pull together what you need in a matter of hours.

1. Declutter: The number one rule

The number one rule for packing any room is to declutter as much as possible.

This makes packing easier and allows you to discard any unnecessary items and reduce expenses and how many loads you need to transport to your new home.

Dump all those unnecessary bottles of shampoo and conditioner, along with those bars of soap and old cosmetics that you have only rediscovered during the packing process.

If nothing else, bathroom packing helps you realise quite how much stuff we go through!

Those items can often be bulky, adding unnecessary weight and they can leak if not packed correctly. Why add these items when it is often easier and cheaper to buy more after you move?

If your items are unnecessary or unusable then here are some ways to safely recycle them.

Those with some value can be donated or given to friends and family so there is even less waste.

For medical items and medication check the expiry dates and dispose of unused items safely, as some of these will need to be kept out of reach of children.

Important medication needs to be packed and labelled correctly. Leave these in a location where they can be easily found and located.

2. Bathroom packing materials:

Liffey moving can supply many of your packing materials from cardboard boxes to wrapping paper and tape.

If you have waterproof bags or other packing items, consider using these for added protection.

Get in touch with Liffey Moving about any specialist items and we can discuss the best methods that you can use for bathroom packing.

3. Begin bathroom packing:

Due to the small number of items, you can often pack your bathroom last, however, this is entirely up to you and the Liffey Moving team will work to your schedule.

Keep necessary items such as toothpaste medication and shower supply easy to reach.

Begin packing electronics and bulky items first as they can take up the most space.

Use the appropriate boxes and filling paper to ensure that items don’t move and are safe throughout the move.

Remember to pack all cords and spare parts in the same boxes so they are easy to locate upon arrival.

Label all of your items correctly, such as electronics, fragile items, liquids etc.

This will help the Liffey Moving team stack and arrange items safely when transporting them to your new, New York home.

Try to pack your bathroom items according to type, such as cleaning supplies, toilet and shower items etc.

Don’t place liquids near electronic items.

4. Liffey Moving and Your Bathroom packing

4 great tips for packing your bedroom when moving https://liffeymoving.com/4-tips-for-packing-your-bedroom-when-moving/ https://liffeymoving.com/4-tips-for-packing-your-bedroom-when-moving/#respond Fri, 21 Jan 2022 09:09:00 +0000 https://liffeymoving.com/?p=9426 Packing your bedroom can seem a little daunting.

It is not until we have to move that we realise how much we can hide away and store in our rooms.

It can feel like packing your bedroom is a combination of living space, storage unit and office all in one.

This Liffey Moving guide to packing your bedroom should help make the process much easier for you and assist our team on moving day.

1. Declutter:

The first thing is to declutter. This is our number one recommendation for almost every room in your home.

You should start with your wardrobe as this will most likely be the bulk of your items. You can then go through your cabinets and other storage places to reduce the number of items you have to pack and move.

Divide your belongings into items to throw away, those you want to keep and those that you can donate or sell.

Try on your items to find old and worn items and those you simply do not want anymore.

Find books, old phones and lost items that are no longer of use. Aim to go with items you know for sure you no longer need or use.

Nothing is worse when packing your bedroom and then regretting throwing out items by mistake.

2. Packing items that you may need:

Try to get your packing items in order and in this way, you can discover what packing supplies you will need.

Liffey Moving can provide many of the packing supplies for packing your bedroom - get in touch with us if you need any items needed for packing your bedroom.

These items may include:

  • Packing boxes
  • Bubble wrap
  • Shrinkwrap
  • Paper packing items
  • Labels

You may also need:

  • Wrapping tape
  • Garbage bags
  • Cleaning supplies
  • Mattress covers and boxes
  • Tools for disassembling your furniture

If you are unsure of what you may need, get in touch with the Liffey Moving team and we can provide you with some pointers on what you have to do.

3. It is time to start packing your bedroom:

Start from last to first.

What we mean is pack the items you will not need immediately and work your way to the most important items. These may be your bed sheets, pillows and overnight clothes for your first night in your new home.

Take an inventory of all your items, their location and the boxes they are in. Include whose better room it is, whether they are essential, fragile or clothing etc.

This will allow our moving team to place the boxes in the right location, allowing you to unpack and sort your items in the shortest amount of time.

4. Valuable items:

Items of sentimental value or high-value items should be correctly labelled and packed accordingly. Let our team know so we can take extra care with such items.

Glassware, laptops and other fragile items can move when not packed correctly, so use the appropriate amount of wrapping paper and spacers to ensure this does not happen.

Liffey Moving and Packing your Bedrooms:

Liffey Moving will provide you with as much guidance as possible on packing your bedroom and each other room in your home.

We will then provide our professional and trustworthy moving services to your new home throughout the New York area.

Our movers can assist with furniture disassembly, loading and unloading of all your items with all the necessary paperwork and insurance details in order.

Please reach out to Liffey Moving today should you require help with your move.

We are happy to provide a cost estimate and a timeline for your packing and moving day.
