How Do You Pack Clothes When Moving?

How Do You Pack Clothes When MovingPacking clothes for your upcoming move is a multi-step process that, when done right, will help keep your clothes clean and will help simplify the moving process. While it may seem easy to just throw all your items into suitcases and duffle bags, it will most certainly pay off for you to be a bit more organized in your approach.

Use these simple tips when packing clothes for a smooth, easy, and efficient process:

  • Sort your clothes – This is the first and one of the most important steps. Moving is a great opportunity to go through all of your clothing and get rid of items you don’t need. If you have items that you want to discard and they are in good condition, they can be donated to help the less fortunate. Clothing that has mold, mildew, moth balls, or bed bug fecal matter can be thrown out. Old clothing that is merely stained or out of style can be repurposed into padding when packing delicate items.
  • Pack your clothes efficiently – Some clothes, like socks and underwear, can actually be left in dresser drawers, if you are taking your dresser with you. Wardrobe boxes, suitcases, garbage bags, and vacuum-sealed bags can all be used to move your clothes. It is helpful to separate clothes by material or season, and be sure to label your boxes or bags to make unpacking easier.
