Shifting to a new house is a hectic schedule. To make the shifting smooth the first step to be followed is to organize all the things properly. You have to take into account a lot of things like packing of items to unpacking off all the items. To help you get through these problems, below are a few tips to help you shift to a new home.
- It is advisable to visit your new home one day before the final shifting and arrange for an exterminator. Even if you feel that your house is pests or bugs free, what is the harm in taking a preventive step? Because, once you do the shifting, it will be difficult to go for pest removal. Moreover, if you do the pest control before you shift it will not affect your pets and children.
- Thoroughly clean your empty house before shifting. Clean and wash the floors, windows, walls and baseboards. It is always easier to clean empty as you won’t need to move furniture, or take down the curtains.
- Wipe the bathroom and kitchen countertops, drawers and shelves.
- Visit the nearby market before hand to get an idea of the fruits, vegetables and other grocery items available in your new locality. It will come have when you throw your housewarming party. Moreover, you will need to shop simply to fill up your refrigerator.
- Buy napkins, towels and toilet paper in advance.
- Make an inventory list of all your belongings. It will come handy to keep a track of things while unloaded off the truck.

- You do not have to unpack all your items in one go. It will only make your shift rather disorganized. Label the cartoons before you shift so that you know where your things exactly are.
