If you’re relocating from Colorado, you might want to consider packing services offered by Eden’s Moving Services. Packing is the most challenging aspect of moving. No tenant or homeowner likes to indulge in arduous and painstakingly difficult packing. However, it has to be done by someone. In most cases, the person who lived in the home or apartment knows where everything is located and where it should go. Therefore, this process is going to be unavoidable. In some way or the other, you have to get involved if you want a successful move.
Each Room
Every room has different items and so will require different ways of packing. The kitchen, for example, may require the cautious packing of fragile items such as glassware and china. The living room or family room may need special wrapping for certain furniture pieces, breakable items, and fragile electronics. The bedrooms may need packing of lighter items and larger items. The bed would be one of those large items, which you have to disassemble, depending on its size and components. Lighter items such as bedspreads, clothing, and pillows are easier to pack.
Different Boxes
- Each room should have different boxes to pack different items. Some of the things you have to consider are:
- First aid kit
- Medicines
- Plates, pots, and pans
- Coffee maker and microwave
- Utensils
- Bath mats and kitchen rugs
- Bottles of seasoning from the kitchen cabinet (you would be surprised to how many this can amount to)
- Toothbrushes, towels, and rags
- Cleaning supplies
- Below are some considerations from Eden’s Moving Services on packing each room and the recommended course of action.
The Kitchen
The kitchen should have a different box for packing items that are frequently used, such as plates, pots, and pans. Before the date of moving, please dispose of all perishable food items, whether you use them, give them away, or throw them out. Cleaning products with chemicals should not be transported. Therefore, you should throw them out or discard them. For china and other breakable items, be sure to individually wrap each piece with newspaper, packing paper, and bubble wrap, providing extra protection.
Bedroom
If you have guest rooms in your home, start packing there first. The children could also save you the work by packing their own rooms. Involve the children in picking up their games, toys, and books and packing them in boxes. Clothes can be left on the hangers and placed in a wardrobe carton to hang up when you get to the new residence easily. Leave hats in hat boxes or place them in larger cartons for protection. Label each carton as “fragile – handle with care.” If you have fine jewelry, pack these separately. It would help if you even considered transporting them yourself on the day of the move.

Bathroom
Throw out items such as used deodorant and anything in an aerosol spray can. If you prefer to keep these, you should transport this yourself on the day of the move. Wrap and tape up any plastic bottles to avoid leaks or spills. Use a small carton to pack these items. For glass mirrors, get a special box for mirrors. Ask your local moving company about this or possibly the choice of a customized crate.
Living Room
If you have lamps, books, stereo equipment, and furniture in your living room, you will need to pack these items in advance. You may need to create large televisions and disc players. Use a separate box to pack family portraits, videos, and photograph negatives—wrap lampshades in a large towel and not with newspaper.
Laundry Room
Before the move, get rid of hazardous chemicals that you may have in your laundry room. These items may include bleach or detergent. Do laundry, if possible, before your move. Use laundry baskets for packing some of the items in your laundry room.
