How To Declutter Your Home And Prepare For Moving

How To Declutter Your Home And Prepare For Moving

Before you call your Richmond movers, you first need to declutter your home and prepare for the move. This isn’t an easy task and takes time but if you do it correctly, it could be a lot of fun too. Decluttering, in preparing to move, simple means refer to separating, organizing, arranging, and removing things. Here are some ideas to go about it;

Take Your Time

Separating and removing unnecessary things to tidy up and remain with the things you actually need and use is not something you do over a couple of minutes. You don’t want to accidentally dispose of the things you need. And, neither do you want to still remain with the things you don’t use. It requires you to take your time. And it is not logical to do it in one day. You might set aside at least 30 to 90 minutes for a couple of days to declutter.

Create a Decluttering Checklist

Just like it is with any other task, creating a checklist is one of the surest ways to get things done, and get them done appropriately and on time. When you are moving, decluttering is not an exception, it also needs a checklist. It makes it much easier when you know exactly when and where you need to get started.

Be Strategic

To declutter effectively and efficiently you need to be strategic. You can get 3 trash bags or large boxes and label them ‘trash’, ‘keep’, ‘give away’. This will make things easier as you will just be separating, picking, and throwing in the box. You can always formulate your own version of this strategy or a completely different trick, as long as it will help you work better and faster. If you have a lot of trash, the best choice for waste removal is to rent a roll off dumpster from Discount Dumpster Rental. They provide a convenient way for junk disposal.

How to Prepare to Move

Decluttering is just a portion of moving. There is more when preparing to move. Here is how to make the whole process fast and easy;

Create a Moving Checklist

Again, this is the very first thing you want to do; a checklist. It is easier, faster, and less stressful when you have a things-to-do list. The trick is to be as specific as possible. This means when and how you are packing your room when you are packing your kitchen when you are making calls, and such.

Determine your Needs

Once you have everything written down in your checklist, take a good look at it and determine your requirement; what you need, what you don’t need, the type of moving company you will require, what services you need to request; packing materials, packing services, loading, and unloading, etc.

Set a Moving Date and Book your Moving Company

You want to book your moving company just as soon as you set your moving date. This is the time to make calls, seek references, read reviews online, and decide on the movers you will hire. Getting in contact with movers sooner allows you to set your priorities right, getting updates at the right time, and just make the whole process smooth.

Tips for Hiring a Moving Company

It might be easier to do a Google search, pick the first company and hire them. Or better still, hire the first company that gets recommended to you. However, it is important to take your time and do your search properly. That is how you land the best rates and services. Here are some tips to help the process;

  • Ask for friends’ recommendations
  • Read online reviews
  • Check out the experience
  • Make sure they have the necessary insurance and license
  • Make sure to read the contract carefully before signing it
