Moving Day Survival Kit

Moving day can be stressful if you don’t plan your move. Moving with reliable and licensed movers makes the process easier, but you need to be careful about handling all the different issues that are involved in moving. One critical issue is making sure you have important items available for use during and immediately after moving day. This is especially important if you have children with you.

Moving requirements depend on your unique moving situation. You should prepare a checklist of key items, based on your individual needs. This will ensure that you have all the things you need to have handy where you can easily and quickly find them. You don’t want to search your boxes to find your emergency items. If you wonder what you should include in your checklist, here are some “must-have” items that you will almost certainly need to have easy access to.

Kitchenware

After reaching your new home, one set of essential items you will need includes kitchen supplies. You need to know exactly where you can find necessary cooking items like cooking utensils, paper plates, mugs, water bottles, and cooking ingredients. You may not want to be dependent on ordering food right away. If so, that’s why you need to be quickly able to find and use cooking items to prepare meals for your family.

Snacks and Consumables

You should carry plenty of snacks with you to feed everyone from time to time. You may not start cooking immediately and need some time to unpack. Your snacking options are unlimited. You can choose dry fruits, nutrition bars, biscuits, fruits, shakes, and other necessary items.

Toiletries

You should also have a separate “quick find” bag for toiletries. Pack soaps, detergents, toothbrushes, towels, toilet paper, first aid kit, cleaning products and other important supplies separately so that you can access them without hassles.

Phone and Laptop Chargers

You can’t leave out phone and laptop chargers from the checklist. So slip your charging accessories into a bag that you can keep with you before starting your journey. You should also include mobile chargers so you can plug in tablets and phones on the go.

Pillows and Blankets and More

You need to have access to essential items from the bedroom before you hand over the inventory list to movers. Your list should include pillows, blankets, and even pajamas or a change of clothes.

Baby Supplies

If you have children, you need to make special arrangements to help them adjust to the new place. Carry DVD players and DVDs or have tablets/phones available, and consider including activity books, interactive games, and comfort toys.

Pet Products

If you have pets, you need to have easy access to pet products to cater to your pet’s needs. For example, pack your usual pet food into your moving day kit so you can keep their anxiety about eating down. Other items you need to carry include leashes, litter boxes, toys, and bedding items.

Final Thoughts

Having a good moving day requires you to take care of handling several important operations. First, having a “go bag” – it is risky to move in without your moving day survival kit. The list above gives you some tips on what moving day supplies that you should carry or have immediate access to in order to make your move easier and hassle-free.

Do your homework and get hold of necessary goods and hand over the inventory list only when you have figured out what you want in the kit. It’s important to this before you turn over everything to the Cleveland moving company you have selected.
