Did you recently find your dream piece of La Quinta real estate and are moving in soon? Or did you sell your Indio real estate or home in another part of the Coachella Valley and have to move out? No matter if you’re moving in or moving out, packing and preparing is an arduous task. Read on for some tips and guidelines for the best way to get your clothes from your old closet to the new one.
Hopefully, you’ve outgrown your college days where best practices consisted of stuffing all of your belongings into garbage bags and transporting it all in the back of a truck. If you have grown up and are about to move into your new La Quinta real estate, it’s better to be organized about transporting your things, especially your clothing.
When it comes to your dresser, it makes the most sense to use regular boxes and clearly label them for each drawer, so that you can easily put everything back inside when you get to your new digs. If all the items inside are lightweight, you may be able to move the dresser as is.
For all the clothing hanging in your closet, if you fold and label the contents of your closet systematically into boxes, you can avoid wrinkling all your clothes and having the hassle of taking them off and putting them back on hangers. If you choose this route, make sure to layer tissue or packing paper in between and around your clothes to keep them as clean and organized as possible. Another good option is to pack some of your clothes into your luggage—this is an excellent way to multitask as you move, since both the luggage and clothes need to go to your new residence.
However, the most ideal way to move your clothes is transport them in wardrobe boxes, which are long cardboard boxes stocked with a metal bar to hang your clothes on. You can simply transfer your clothes into the box while they are still on hangers, which will make life so much easier when you get to your gorgeous new piece of Indio real estate and are ready to set up your dream closet.
