House Removal Hacks That Every Homeowner Should Know

 Moving house can be stressful at the best of times and a nightmare at worst! If you are soon to be relocating to another region of Australia, here are a few moving hacks that we all should know.

• Use quality packing boxes – Label each box and use room colour codes for easy access. Write on the side of the box and then you can see them in a stack. When you connect with one of the Townsville removal companies, packing supplies are included in the cost, while the team handles the packing if you prefer that.

• Start packing early – Choose rarely used items and pack them in advance, which makes it much easier on moving day. Many removalists use containers; drop an empty container and this can gradually be filled until the moving day arrives and a grab truck puts the unit on the flatbed.

• Create a to-go list – List all items that are due to accompany you to your new abode; this is something the removalist will need; room by room is the best way to work. Create a list of things you are planning to sell and one for stuff you are planning to dump.

• Hire a skip – Regardless, you are going to end up with a lot of stuff that has to be recycled at the local tip. Buy a pack of XL black plastic bags, you will need them. A local skip provider will drop the skip at your home and collect it when full. Please read their terms and conditions to understand what you can put in their skip and what you cannot.

• Springclean the new dwelling – Send a team of pro house cleaners in a couple of days before the move and everything will be spick and span. Google can help you find a house cleaner and leave a set of keys hidden so they can access the property. Once finished, have the team leader show you the interior on a video call, then you can pay them remotely.

• Bubble wrap – Invest in a large roll of bubble wrap and you can protect all delicate ornaments, wine glasses and other fragile items. Of course, if you are using a top-rated removalist, you won’t have to worry about this, as they use bubble wrap to protect delicate items.

• End of tenancy clean – If you are leaving a rental property, you should carry out an end-of-tenancy clean and that should ensure you get your deposit back. Google will help you find a local cleaning contractor and as soon as you move out, send in the cleaning team.

If you can manage to find a top-rated removalist in Townsville, then moving house will be a breeze; make sure the company is fully insured and any damage will be covered.
