Tips for Streamlining Your Move: What to Leave Behind


Moving can be a daunting task, especially when you're faced with the challenge of deciding what to keep and what to toss. Here are some to help you navigate the process and lighten your load:


  1. Mismatching sets: If you have mismatched plates, bowls, or mugs that you rarely use, consider donating them. Streamlining your collection will make packing and unpacking easier.

  2. Excess mugs: Pare down your mug collection to just the essentials. Donate the ones you rarely use or have accumulated over time.

  3. Small kitchen appliances: Evaluate your collection of small kitchen appliances. If you're not regularly using them, consider donating or giving them away.

  4. Expired food: Don't pack expired pantry items. Clean out your cabinets and dispose of old spices and oils responsibly.

  5. "Bad" linens: Only keep linens that you actually use and enjoy. Donate old towels and sheets to a pet shelter.

  6. Items in storage: If you haven't used something in over a year, like old Christmas decorations or sports equipment, consider donating it instead of moving it.

  7. Cleaning supplies: Dispose of rarely-used, super-specific cleaning products responsibly. Pack only the essentials for cleaning your new space.

  8. Toilet bowl brush: Start fresh with a new toilet bowl brush in your new home


Remember, it's okay to hold onto clothes for now. Wait until the seasons change to tackle a wardrobe purge.

Moving doesn't have to be overwhelming. By following these tips, you can streamline the process and make your move a little bit easier. Good luck! 📦🏠 #MovingTips #StreamlineYourMove #CallumsRemovals
