Can we compare MI-Day with D-Day? We guess not. But hey, you do become a ‘moving veteran’ once you get over with your first move. The moving-in day is a challenge of its own. And as one would predict on D-Day, many things don’t go as you expected them to be.

The moving-in day is a battle you have got to win. We have the perfect moving-in day checklist to get your name in the list of glorious men and women that won the battle like it was fought in their backyards. Enough with the drama, let’s get started!

Complete Moving-In Day Essentials Checklist

1.   Plug & Play Your Bedding

When you move into a new house, you must make sure that there is enough space for you to settle down or even take a nap. In other words, you want to have a freshly made bed at your new house. The best way to do that is by packing the bedding and pillows separately in a way that they are easily accessible. Once you are in the new house, it will only take a few minutes to prepare a clean bed that you can crash on.

2. Keep Your Cleaning Supplies Handy

Believe it or not, there is a lot of cleaning headed your way. There are chances that you will get an opportunity to clean your new house before moving in. However, if you don’t get that chance, you can always rely on an easily accessible deep cleaning kit. It will help you complete some of the few basic cleaning tasks so that you can place your items without having to worry about dust or dirt. These cleaning supplies usually have sponges, dish soap, paper towels, dust cloths, and toilet paper.

3. Where’s Your Portable Toolkit?

Most people don’t start putting their items on the shelf or start hanging pictures on the wall right when they enter the new house. A lot of time is spent on assembling furniture and unpacking the boxes. Question – How do you intend to assemble the furniture? you might hire someone to do that for you or create your own tool kit that will help you get things going without having to wait for someone.

4. Labels and Stationery

If you have hired movers that will help you move things to a new house, you want them to have a clear idea of what boxes will go in which rooms. You can do that by labeling the rooms appropriately using paper, pencil/pen, and tape. You can also label the boxes to make it easier for everyone to understand what there is inside the box and where it is supposed to go.

5. Phone Chargers, Power Banks, BT Speakers

The moving-in day is quite stressful. We highly recommend you carry a Bluetooth speaker that you can connect with your smartphone. Playing music while you unpack the boxes or assemble the furniture will keep you motivated. But, you don’t want your phone’s battery to drain completely. You can prevent that from happening by carrying power banks and phone charger with you at all times.

6. Ready-to-Eat Beverages and WATER

Keep the metabolism going on MI-day. There will be a lot of work to do and naturally, you will lose energy. Since you are still unpacking, you might not have time to unpack the box with all the utensils. However, you can keep moving things steadily just by carrying ready-to-eat food and lots of water. Munch whenever you need a punch of energy.
