Moving to a new city or even across the street is a daunting experience. There is nothing like packing and repacking a cluttered closet. Packing your closet is one of the most challenging activities of a move. So if you’re looking for the optimum way to pack your clothes and make enough time for the other moving aspects, we have suggested some tips that can help.
Declutter Your Closet
Decluttering your closet is an essential step before initiating your packing process. Packing items that aren’t going to be used later is a waste of time and space. Look through your closet and separate clothes that are old, worn down or no longer fit you. Once you’ve gone through the closet, you can donate, sell or gift the pile of clothes you don’t require. If the clothes are tattered, you can dispose of them swiftly.
Sort the Clothes
After the decluttering process is complete, you can start sorting the clothes based on the material type and season. This way, the clothes you will need immediately as per the season will be right on top, and you can unpack the others later. At the same time, segregate the seasonal clothing from everyday wear and label them accordingly. If you’re planning to store seasonal clothing for a few months, ensure it is kept from moisture and pests.
Label the Box
The unpacking and sorting of items in your new house will take time, so pack a separate box with clothes that you can access easily. This will be handy as you will not have to scramble to find essential clothing. Make sure you label the boxes well.
Follow These Packing Methods
Clothes can be subdivided into two categories, namely foldable clothes, which are placed in your wardrobe, and hanging clothes that are hung on hangers. The best method to pack hanging clothes is hanging them with hangers and moving them. The hung clothes can be enclosed in boxes or garment racks as they are moved over long distances. Vacuum bags are useful if you’re planning to condense bulkier garments. Foldable clothes can be rolled or folded and placed in moving boxes. These boxes save a lot of space and reduce the number of boxes required to pack hanging clothes. Suitcases and duffel bags offer a great alternative for packing folded clothes and shoes.
Save Money On Packing
Packing and moving is a costly endeavor so try cutting costs at every corner. The best method to save money is by decluttering your closet, using an old suitcase to pack clothes, or putting clothes in the furniture. Further, you can fold and pack clothes in garbage bags if you’re running low on packing boxes.
