Tips To Pack A Bathroom While Moving

Start sorting out the items in the bathroom, empty out each cabinet one by one and declutter all the belongings. Once all the items are sorted you can get rid of the thing you do not need. The first rule of packing is, to get rid of items that you have not used in the last six months. This will go with the bathroom items as well.

Check the expiry date of medications and cosmetics, if cosmetics are dried out or broken then get rid of those items. You can get rid of the old towels and linen or you can use them for deep cleaning or as wrapping material.

Next, make sure that you have all the packing supplies that you need to pack the bathroom items. Here is the list of packing supplies that are required to pack a bathroom-
• Small & medium sized-moving boxes
• Bubble wraps
• Moving tape
• Markers
• Sealable plastic bags
• Reusable grocery bags

There are a variety of items in a bathroom including medication, appliances, cosmetics, hygiene products, paper products, cleaning supplies, etc. There can be fragile items like glass bottles that need special handling while packing.
Sort all the items according to the mentioned categories and pack them separately as it will allow easy unpacking.

For packing bathroom supplies while shifting you can use small sealable bags or reusable grocery bags. This will occupy less space and it is easy to carry small items in bags instead of boxes. After packing the items in the bags, label them or put a piece of tape so that they can easily be recognized.

Labeling the boxes with bathroom supplies is important as it will be easy to unpack and handle during unloading. If you are packing multiple bathroom items in one box, mention it on the box. To keep everything more organized, pack each bathroom in a different box and label them like “Primary bathroom”, “Common bathroom” and more.

Cleaning supplies, bleach, and other chemical items are not allowed on the moving truck. If you are moving locally, you can take these with you in your car. But before loading them in your vehicle, pack them in an airtight plastic bag, and seal them to avoid any spill. For long-distance shifting, you have to dispose of the cleaning supplies. The mover will not take them on the moving truck as these can be flammable and hazardous.

Next, pack your linens for shifting, but wash them first. You do not want to carry dirty towels and linens to your new house. After moving in you will not be getting time to wash them up. So, wash them, and pack them by folding or rolling them. This will save space and prevent wrinkles.

To pack all the linen, use heavy moving boxes that are not full as they will provide sturdiness to the box and prevent collapsing.

• When packing these items in the box, provide sufficient cushioning

Make sure you do not pack everything, and leave some supplies for the moving day. There should be toilet paper, soap for washing, and a hand towel. Also, pack your toothbrush and toothpaste on the moving day after getting ready.
