It must be an incredible feeling: moving to a new home. You may have taken care of all the little details; the packing, labeling moving boxes, overseeing your local movers San Diego as they load the boxes in the van.

You followed them all the way to your new home, unlocked the front door, so the movers could unload boxes and furniture. All you want to do is curl up on your favorite sofa with a hot cup of tea.

But, wait!

There are piles and piles of boxes waiting for your attention. You are far from done with the moving.

Here is how you can tackle unpacking in your new home!

Begin With Cleaning Your Home

Ideally, the last occupants must have cleaned their home before leaving. Don’t rely on this though. Moving to a rented apartment? Chances are your landlord must have hired cleaning services for some basic cleaning for your arrival. Get confirmation before unpacking your belongings.

Organize Boxes by Room

Unpacking boxes and placing items inside to the correct rooms can become much easier when proper labeling is done, on the moving boxes. You must as a packing rule, follow correct labeling processes i.e. place items of one room in one (or more) boxes first, label them accordingly and then start with another room.

Organizing and unpacking boxes by room will become much easier. This is also the best way to ensure items don’t get misplaced during the unpacking process.

Important Note: Unpacking your belongings will take more than one day. Therefore, focus on important rooms first. Think of the rooms that will be occupied or used immediately (bedroom, kitchen) and focus on unpacking for those rooms only. 

Take Care Of Necessary Items First

What are the items you will need immediately after moving houses? Bedding, food, and toiletries are just some of the things that you would be in immediate need of, especially with kids.

Start unpacking those things first so that nobody as to face any difficulty during rest of the house’s unpacking.

You can even visit the grocery store to buy basic toiletries and cooked food items to last a few days.

There you go! Start your days in your new home with the least amount of trouble and stress. Of course you can enlist the help of affordable movers San Diego to help with the unpacking part as well! J & R United Moving Solutions offers this facility. Ask us for a quote today!
