We understand that moving can be stressful, and there is a lot to account for. For this reason, we have put together this list of what to bring on day one to ensure your day goes smoothly.
5 Things to Pack in Your Moving Day Tote
1. Essential Toiletries
After a day of hauling boxes, the last thing you want is to hunt for your toothbrush. Keep your basic toiletries—like contacts, deodorant, hairbrush, razor and moisturizer—within easy reach on moving day.
Moving is a workout, so pack shower essentials such as shampoo, conditioner, towels, and a shower curtain. Additionally, make sure you have paper towels, toilet paper, and soap easily accessible.
2. Cleaning Supplies
Moving creates unexpected messes. From packing materials to spills, it’s wise to have cleaning supplies like wipes, an all-purpose cleaner, and a broom on hand. Don’t forget to bring along trash bags for those inevitable trips to the garbage.
3. Kitchen Essentials
Whether you’re planning to cook or grab takeout for your first meal in your new space, having dining utensils, a plate, and a cup or mug at the ready is important. Also, don’t forget your snacks and water!
