What to Do When You Move Into Your New Home There is a lot to think about when you are in the middle of the moving process. Sometimes, people who have been moving forget that unpacking after the move is also an important part of that process. Moving in can be just as difficult as moving out, and it can be just as exhausting. Here are some tips to help with moving into your new home. Clean

New homes can be dusty or unclean, especially if the place has been uninhabited for an extended period of time. Dust or grime can be harmful to people with allergies or difficulty breathing. Even without a medical condition, dealing with dust is not the first thing most people moving in want to experience. Make sure to get cleaning liquids for the glass and counter tops, as well as paper towels so that your home can get a good cleaning once you move in. If possible, clean the place before you even move, prior to the assigned move-in day to avoid dealing with it when you are finally in your home and exhausted from the move. If you would like a little help, you can always talk to your local moving company to get their recommendations for local cleaners.


Unpack the Essentials Many people do not have the time to unpack everything right away, and even those who have the time are too tired to do it all on the same day as the move. However, there are some items that cannot be gone without. Have a box labeled ‘Important’ or ‘Essentials’ so that you can easily unpack everything you immediately need right after the move.

Things like toiletries, changes of clothes, medications, items for work, and nonperishable foods can be placed in boxes marked ‘Important’ so no one has to scour through countless boxes trying to find one specific thing. Take it Slow Unpacking can be just as hard as packing, if not more difficult. Trying to figure out where everything will go can cause headaches and frustration especially if you have not had the chance to think it through. Take things slow and take deep breaths. Focus on one thing at a time, such as where your bed will need to go and where you want the couch positioned. If you have local movers, you save yourself the trouble of having to move and position everything yourself.


The movers will carry all the items into your home and place them where you like. Taking the unpacking slow will reduce headaches and allow you to focus on everything that needs to be done. Moving in is the final leg of the moving process but not the most difficult if planned properly. Consult your local moving company for more tips and ideas on how to make moving in comfortable and stress-free. To find out more or for a free moving estimate, visit MyTucsonMovers.com.
