Here’s How to Pack Your Wardrobe for a House Move

[Royal Sydney Removals]

Moving is intimidating, to say the least. If there’s something more daunting than packing your furniture for a move, it’s organizing your wardrobe. Ask homeowners who have moved their homes recently, and they will most likely tell you the difficulties they faced when packing their clothes. Think about the last time you packed clothes for a vacation. That was only a couple of casual and fancy wear.

It gets super overwhelming when you are supposed to pack your entire wardrobe while keeping the clothes organized. Sure, the Sydney Apartment Movers will move those heavy boxes of clothes to the transportation truck and help with unloading. But what about packing? It is not as easy as putting all your clothes in a rolling suitcase. If you can’t decide where to start packing, this guide is for you. Let’s check out a few clothes packing tips for a house move.

Sort Your Clothes

This will lessen your burden. Packing clothes you don’t wear anymore and will probably not wear after a move is pointless. You should rather divide your clothes into three categories — sell, donate, and keep. The new clothes that no longer fit or are out of trend can be resold. Clothes you have worn to a few events but can’t wear anymore can be donated. Separate these clothes from your wardrobe. It gives you a clear picture of how many clothes are to be packed.

Get Packing Materials

Once you have your wardrobe sorted, the next step is to get packing items. You can fold and keep your fancy clothes in cardboard boxes and casual wear in a rolling suitcase. Or, you can order a few wardrobe boxes that allow you to pack your clothes without removing hangers. This makes unpacking easy. Duffel bags also make an excellent choice for wardrobe packing. You can also use these for your shoes and other accessories. Vacuum bags are your go-to packing material for heavy seasonal clothes, such as your winter jackets, woolen sweaters, and boots.

Pack Your Shoes Properly

The biggest mistake while packing your wardrobe is putting your shoes in one box. Sure, you can’t buy a separate packing box for each shoe, but the least you can do is wrap the shoes in bubble wraps and other packing material. Shoes are highly likely to get damaged during transportation, especially if you have put heels with sneakers and casual wear. Plus, they might collect dirt and debris. So, bubblewrap these shoes or wrap them in a plastic bag before the final packing. You can use a vacuum bag or a rolling suitcase for shoes. Place the heavy shoes at the bottom of the box and lighter ones on the top.
