Clothes play a big part in packing and maybe quite troublesome if you don't plan enough time. The reason is that packing is the last step of preparing your wardrobe to move, so you should use the time wisely. We prepared for you these short hacks, which will make a flawless relocation for local move or long distance move.
Revise What You'll Move
Moving is an excellent opportunity to inspect your wardrobe for items that deserve to be tossed or donated. Start with sorting your closet into piles of what you keep and throw or give away.
Pack Smart
Pack clothes by person and season. It will simplify unpacking at the new place. Also, pack off-season clothes as early as possible to cut the packing time down into small periods. Otherwise, packing in one week may be too overwhelming.
