The bathroom is one space that can’t easily be packed up ahead of a move. Since it gets used each day, it’s important to carefully plan when and how you’re going to gather up all of your toiletries and other bathroom items. Here are some helpful tips for pulling off a bathroom move that will make the task much more convenient for both you and your moving service.

How to Get Your Bathroom Ready for a Move

1. Sort Through Everything

There’s a good chance you have some bathroom items you haven’t seen in a while lurking in the back corners of your medicine cabinet. Instead of trying to handle everything right before your move, take some time to sort through all of the items ahead of time. Separate objects into various categories for easy organization, such as cleaning supplies, makeup, or toiletries. Once everything is sorted through, it’s time to purge.

2. Get Rid of What You Don’t Need

A move is the perfect opportunity to throw away a lot of items you don’t need anymore. This will cut back on the packing space and reduce the amount of clutter your moving service has to deal with. There are many objects that can usually be thrown out, such as various bathroom appliances that aren’t working anymore, makeup that hasn’t been used in a long time, and old towels and linens. Expired medication is another bathroom item you’ll want to get rid of, but be sure to follow the proper disposal methods to avoid any health risks.

3. Pack Carefully

With so many small items and liquids to consider, packing bathroom items in preparation for your moving service can be tricky. Anything that could leak should be stored in plastic wrap or a secure zipped plastic bag before being placed into a moving truck. You can use soft towels and linens to your advantage by using them as packing protection in your boxes. Instead of packing everything up, set aside any toiletries and medication you’ll need before the move. That way, you’ll be able to get a jump on the moving—without interfering with your daily routine.
