When preparing to relocate, it’s tempting to pack everything away. However, as you wait for estimates from the moving company and draft to-do lists, you want to keep a few key belongings out of the boxes for easy access. Here are a handful of items you may need during this transitional time.

What Items Should You Not Pack During a Move? 

1. Packing Tape

You never know when you’ll need to add an extra box to the mix. Have a roll or two of packing tape available throughout this transition to seal up new containers or shore up already-packed boxes that need more support.

2. Cleaning Supplies 

moving companies Lincoln County NEYou’ll likely want to clean the old house after removing all your belongings and polish the new house before bringing everything in. Keep cleansing wipes, paper towels, and disinfectant sprays on hand for areas like counters, cabinets, and windowsills. Finally, bring along a broom and a mop or vacuum to clean the floors.

3. Hygiene Items

After the moving company leaves, it can be frustrating to realize you don’t know where anything is—particularly hygiene items. Make a box labeled “hygiene items” and fill it with toilet paper, toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, body wash, feminine hygiene products, and any other personal care items that you may need upon arrival. Keep this box with you, so you know exactly where it is when the movers leave.

4. Tools

You never know when you’ll need a basic toolkit during a move. Have a hammer, nails, level, screwdriver, and wrench at the ready. Your moving company will use these tools to take a door off the hinges to bring large items through or disassemble furniture; however, after they leave, you’ll be left without a handy toolkit.
