Moving Tips for a Stree-Free Transition
Start a file folder of all move-related documents, contacts and contracts. One helpful tip is to start a file folder to keep track of all move-related documents, contacts, and contracts. This can include important papers such as lease agreements, moving company contracts, and contact information for utility providers. Having everything in one place will make it easier to access when needed.
Declutter and donate any unwanted items. Here’s a list of Guelph organizations to donate your items to before moving day: Guelph-Wellington Women in Crisis, Hope House Guelph, Mamas for Mamas, Guelph Food Bank, Food4Kids Guelph, Wyndham House.
Pack a first-day cleaning kit and first-night essentials. This can include basic cleaning supplies, toiletries, a change of clothes, and any items you may need right away in your new home. Having these essentials easily accessible will help you settle in quickly without having to search through boxes on moving day.
Use colour-coded boxes based on room or family member. Assigning a specific color to each room or family member can help movers easily identify where each box belongs, making the unpacking process more efficient.
Take a photo of the back of your TV and electrical systems for an easy setup later. This can be a lifesaver when setting up your new home. This way, you’ll have a visual reference to easily reconnect all the cords and cables without any confusion.
Find out in advance when garbage removal day is for your new neighbourhood. Knowing the schedule will ensure that you dispose of any moving-related waste properly and avoid any clutter buildup in your new home.
