Whether you work two jobs, or you’re trying to move while you’re ill, it’s two days before moving day and nothing is packed. These are the kind of situations for which moving companies in Chicago are prepared. They’ll be happy to pack up the house, but some homeowners want to do it themselves. Here’s how.
Two Days Out
Homeowners usually begin collecting boxes, totes, and using suitcases for packing weeks before a move. Begin with the bedrooms and the suitcases. Pack any item of clothing, no matter the season, in the suitcases. Place the suitcases in the living room. They’ll go on the truck with the furniture.
Use the bed linens and towels from any bathrooms near the bedrooms for wrapping breakables. All that should be left in the bedrooms is furniture. Pack any books, toys, or other bedroom items like lamps in boxes. Place the boxes in the living room.
Place bathroom items in a special box. Pack the bath paper, towels, and personal grooming items. Keep this box in the car for the first day in the new house.
One Day Out
Pack books, accessories, and decorating items. Use bed linens, winter coats, and towels to wrap delicate items. Place the boxes in the living room.
Pack electronic items in blankets, winter coats, and towels. These will go in the car along with any valuables. Moving companies in Chicago prefer that homeowners keep their valuables with them.
Pack up the kitchen. Wrap flatware in socks to prevent holes in bags or boxes. Wrap cutting and butcher knives in oven mitts. Pack small appliances in clear totes for easier unpacking. Get rid of open foods in the fridge and freezer. Place all boxes in the living room for placement on the truck. Aaron Bros.
