If you’re preparing to move house, you might be put off packing. Where do you start? Fortunately, it does not have to be the type of experience that leaves you ‘tearing your hair out’ if you know what you are doing. Here are some tips on how to pack like a boss:

Clear out

One of the actions to start with when choosing to move home is to use it as the ideal chance to have a good decluttering exercise. We all have clothes, toys or items that have not seen the light of day for years. If you have not used or worn something in over a year, donate items to local charities or posting ads on popular online trading site for second-hand items that are still in good condition.

Supplies

Important packaging materials include a good mix of various sized cardboard boxes and some of the bigger, sturdier ones as well. Other must-have items include packing tape, packing beads, bubble wrap and labels.

Begin Early

Packing is a task that always takes longer than you expect, so get a head start and pack goods that are often not needed into boxes nice and early. A general guideline for a large house is one box a day will take about two months. The first items you can pack include seasonal items, summer-use items (when moving in the winter) or jumpers and coats (if you move in the summer), etc.
