Moving day can be busy. You have boxes to fill. You have things to sort. You want your clothes to stay neat. At Dab Movers Inc, we help you pack right. You can keep your clothes smooth and crease free. Here is how to do it in simple steps.
Gather What You Need
First, you need strong boxes. You need clean trash bags. You need packing paper or tissue. You need hangers you do not mind tossing. You need large zipper bags if you have them. All these items help keep clothes safe. You do not need fancy tools. You just need what you have.
Sort Your Clothes
Next, sort your clothes by type. Put shirts together. Put pants together. Put dresses together. This helps you know what goes where. It also helps you pack clothes that need to hang separately. When you sort, you see if clothes are already clean or need washing. Always pack clean clothes. Dirt can set in and make spots.
Use the Hanger Bag Method
If you have many shirts or dresses on hangers, use big trash bags. Remove any clips or pins first. Slide a trash bag over the group of hangers. Let the hangers poke out the top. Tie the bag at the bottom to keep clothes inside. Now your shirts and dresses stay on hangers. They do not fold. They do not wrinkle. You can place them in your closet at the new home just like they were.
Roll Less Wrinkly Items
Some clothes do not need a hanger. You can roll them. Lay a T-shirt flat. Fold it in half from shoulder to hem. Then roll from the bottom up. You get a tight tube of fabric. This keeps wrinkles away. You can also roll socks, underwear, and soft pants this way. Place the roll in a box or bag with space around it. Do not cram too many rolls in one spot.
Pack Bulkier Clothes With Care
Sweaters and hoodies are bulkier. They can get heavy and messy if you fold them wrong. Instead, fold each sweater once in half. Then fold in half again. Place a sheet of tissue or packing paper in the fold. This helps keep the fabric from creasing too deep. Lay the folded sweaters flat in a box. Place paper or a clean cloth between each sweater to keep them from rubbing.
Use Zipper Bags for Small Items
For small loose items like scarves, belts, or ties, use zipper bags. Lay the item flat. Fold it once if it is long. Slide it into the bag. Seal it well. Then place the bag on top of the other clothes in the box. This keeps the small items from shifting and making creases.
Label Your Boxes Clearly
When you finish packing, label each box. Write the contents and the room name. Use a thick marker so it is easy to read. A label that says “Rolled t-shirts” or “Hanger clothes” helps you unpack fast. It helps your movers know how to handle the boxes.
Unpack With Care
On moving day, go to your new home and unpack clothes soon. Bring the hanger bag right into the closet. Slide clothes off the bag onto the closet rod. Take out your rolled clothes and place them in drawers. Unpack sweaters and hoodies and set them on shelves. Do not wait days to unpack. The sooner you hang or fold, the less chance of new wrinkles.
