If you’re moving, packing your bathroom might be a difficult task. The room is full of small items, including many open containers of liquid. Also, you’ll need to keep using your toiletries until the day that you move, and you’ll need access to your cleaning supplies so you won’t have to pay extra for a professional cleaning service. To ensure a smooth transition into your new life, follow these tips.

Sorting Before Moving

Not everything in your bathroom needs to go with you to your new home. Go through your shelves and cupboards and discard anything that you and your family don’t use.

Then, look for items that you do use but are worn out or nearly empty. Write down a list of these products before throwing them out; this will be your shopping list for bathroom supplies once you get to your new home. You should also consider adding anything that doesn’t travel well, such as delicate containers.

Once you’ve removed those possessions, what’s left will be the items you need to pack. Consider which ones you’ll need to continue using up until your move, such as toilet paper, shampoo, and cleaning supplies. Set these aside with enough boxes to hold them so you can load them quickly on the day of the move.

Packing

Next, start packing the items you don’t need to use frequently. Make sure any bottles or containers are sealed and place them inside plastic bags to prevent them from leaking. Also, pack them upright as extra leak protection.

Use towels or packing materials to cushion anything made of glass or rigid plastic. Label the boxes clearly, including which side should face up. Keep potentially unsanitary items, like a toilet brush or plunger, separate from hygiene products.

On the day of your move, finish your hygiene routine, and then pack up the last few items in their own box. This box should go in your car instead of the moving van. You’ll want your soap, toilet paper, and other hygiene basics available as soon as you reach your new residence.
