  • Maintain a tidy home. Keep everything in order, including the bedding and personal items you’ll need on your trip.

On The Big Day

  • Make sure you wake up early, at least 4 hours before your move
  • Pack all bed sheets and take curtains down
  • Unplug any appliances you are taking with you, dryer, washing machine, oven etc
