You naturally want everything to go as smoothly as possible
during the move. You are, therefore, determined to organize every step well and
have already made a plan. Despite the good preparations, many forget the most
important ingredient of an efficient move: the right tools. Having the
necessary materials at home makes moving a lot easier.

When you pack your things, you must label everything. Whether
you use stickers, highlighters, or name tags doesn't matter much. What is
important is that you develop a structure for the labels. For example, you can
provide the moving boxes of each room with a different color. This way, you
ensure that you can unpack everything organized again.
Grip bags
Not only does the large furniture get a new destination, but
also many smaller items are moved. For example, cutlery, toiletries, jewelry, and even small pieces of larger furniture are placed in one of the many moving
boxes. Ziplock bags come in handy for storing such small items. You will find
them in all sizes, and by using the bags, you prevent a lot of chaos during
unpacking.
Protective packaging material
Moving boxes are, of course, a must on the list of essential
tools. With sturdy boxes, you prevent your belongings from being damaged. However,
do you also transport fragile goods such as television screens or a work of
art? Then it is best to use bubble wrap for an extra layer of protection. Also,
arrange chilled
packaging boxes for moving day. Moving blankets like mattress moving
covers and cushions are also good bumpers against bumps.
Stretch wrap or cellophane
It is also always useful to have a cellophane at home during
a move. This way, you keep things with an opening, such as fades and filled
jars without a lid, or goods that can fall apart, such as a game box, together.
In addition, you can use stretch film to protect and keep loose items and
moving boxes together.
A roller plate
Moving heavy furniture requires a lot of strength and is
very tiring. Fortunately, using a roller plate can make it easy for you. You
only have to put the item or furniture on the plate, and you can then roll it
carefree to the moving van.
A hand truck (or stair hand truck)
Another tool with which you can move furniture and boxes
efficiently is a hand truck. You can also roll moving boxes to the truck with
this device. You also save a lot of time because you can stack several boxes on
top of each other. For example, do you have stairs in the house or in the front
yard? You can also roll the boxes over the steps with a stair-hand truck. With
this convenience, you can load and unload the moving van effortlessly and save
yourself from back problems.
