Your bathroom may be one of the smallest rooms in your house, but that doesn’t mean it will be the easiest one to pack. For one thing, many of the items in your bathroom are necessities that you use every day, so they can’t be packed up until the last minute. The experts at Jay’s, your Calgary moving company have some tips to help when you’re packing your bathroom.
Bathroom, washroom, loo, privy, water closet, lavatory, restroom or powder room, whatever you call it at your house, it’s the same sort of place, containing similar items and they need to be packed when the time comes for you to move.
The first thing to do when packing your bathroom is determine which items must be moved and which you should use up, throw away, or donate. Well, I’m not sure about that last part; there are probably few bathroom items that are fit for donation! But you probably have things that should be tossed out, items like:
Medications – take this opportunity to check the expiry dates of any medications and safely dispose of those that are old. Do not flush them down the toilet or empty them into the drain. Medicines can cause environmental damage and contamination. You can properly dispose of medications at your local household hazardous waste facility.
Cosmetics – Lotions and creams, mascara and lipsticks only have a shelf life of six months to a year. Powdered cosmetics, eye and brow pencils last a little longer if kept meticulously clean. If you find old cosmetics or products that you no longer use – trash them rather than packing them, there’s no need to clutter up your new bathroom!
Cleaning products – Try to use them up; you need to clean the bathroom before you move anyways. Transporting cleaning products is not recommended in case of spillage, too many cleaning products are toxic or at the least, damaging to other goods in your shipment.
Your bathroom accessories like the shower curtain, bath mats, toilet brush and wastebasket should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to avoid contaminating other goods during shipping. Consider whether any of these items should be replaced, now might be a good time for a new toilet brush…
When you arrive at your new home, before unpacking your bathroom boxes clean the new loo thoroughly. You just don’t know if the previous occupants were as conscientious as you in their cleaning habits!
