Trying to figure out how to pack your kitchen is one of the biggest challenges of moving. It’s the one room that you use every day, so knowing where to begin packing can be a bit overwhelming.
Here is a 6-step guide on how to pack your kitchen for a move.
1. Sort Through Your Food
If you’re moving a long distance, you’ll want to eat your food during the last week before you move. If you’re not moving far, you’ll be able to take a lot more food with you. Use coolers to transport frozen and refrigerated items, and grocery bags for the rest of the food.
2. Throw Away Items You Never Use
When decluttering your kitchen, if you come across anything that you never use, throw it out or donate it. There’s no need to take up valuable box-space with things you’ve only used once.
3. Have the Right Supplies
You can’t pack your kitchen properly without the right moving supplies, so make sure you have a lot of sturdy boxes, tape and newspaper or bubble wrap to keep everything secure during your move. If you don’t have bubble wrap or newspaper, you can use towels of clothes to help secure fragile items.
4. Sort Your Items
To make the unpacking process easier once you arrive at your new home, start by separating the items in your kitchen into categories before placing them in boxes. For example, keep all of your pots and pans in a box of their own and put kitchen utensils in another box. Be sure to label the boxes accordingly.
5. Prioritize
Don’t pack your most essential kitchen items until the last couple days before the move. Save the essential items for last, and place them in a box together so you know exactly where they are when you get to your new home. Pack the items in your kitchen that you don’t use on a regular basis a few weeks in advance.
6. Pack the Pantry
The pantry should be organized and sorted prior to the moving day. Start packing the spices then work your way to the larger items. Tape any opened food packages to avoid any spills during the move.
