5 Items to Keep Unpacked when Packing Up Your Home

by | Apr 10, 2020 | Features

When preparing to move, there are some items you should not pack. Perishable foods need to be kept separately lest they spoil or melt. You also don’t want to pack items you’ll need soon, such as a cell phone charger.  Note that when hiring professional movers, they won’t take hazardous materials such as bleach, lighter fluid or nail polish remover. Also, remember to set aside an overnight bag just in case your moving boxes are delayed. Last, keep valuable items with you, such as jewelry or family keepsakes.

Key Takeaways:

  • Perishable foods such as milk and ice cream will spoil or melt in the moving truck, so don’t pack them.
  • Your wallet, keys, phone chargers, and purse should be easily accessible, not hidden in a moving box.
  • A professional moving company will probably refuse to move hazardous items such as batteries, fertilizer, and fireworks.
