Hiring furniture movers is the first of a long list of things to do when relocating from one home to another. Whether you’re embarking on long-distance moving or the local furniture movers are hauling your belongings down the block to a bigger home, the entire experience can be overwhelming, and it often leaves people at a loss for what to do on moving day. Bolt Moving in Cincinnati, OH, understands this feeling and prides itself on working with you to ease any unexpected hiccups and get you settled into your new home as seamlessly as possible.

The first day of life in your new home can feel both daunting and chaotic. You’ve done a lot of work to prepare, so now what? Here’s a quick reference guide for navigating that first day:

• Say Thanks: Call the furniture movers and thank them for their help. If anything stood out to you as exceptional service, mention this during your call. Everyone appreciates hearing about a job well done, and it will endear you to them should you move again.
• Breathe & Take a Moment: There’s a reason moving is listed as one of the most stressful life events, as it’s incredibly overwhelming. Allow yourself to take a moment to breathe and mentally settle in before completing any more physical work.
• Sort Boxes Into Rooms: Before you begin unpacking the boxes left by the movers, move them into the correct room. This simple act imparts a feeling of accomplishment, sets the stage for where things belong, and gives you a solid game plan without ending up with a thousand belongings strewn across all the rooms haphazardly.
• Bring Out the Cleaning Supplies: The first step of moving into a new home is cleaning. No one wants to unpack into a dirty home. Gather up all the cleaning supplies you brought with you (or head to the nearest store to purchase the basics) and start your new life with a clean slate!

Furniture movers will get you physically moved in without a hitch, but it’s up to you to plan the first day in a way that’s both productive and as stress-free as possible. For more on the moving services offered by Bolt Moving, visit their website or call (513) 391-7021 to book a mover.
