Unpacking Tools

What you need to unpack your home quickly

The Essential Tools for Unpacking Your Home

1. A box cutter!! This is the most important

2. Sturdy and supportive shoes. Unpacking a home is tiring and for most of the day you will be standing on your feet. Protect them.

3. A step ladder. You’d be surprised how often you’ll need to climb up to put something away.

4. A plyers. Most kitchen cabinet shelves as well as closet shelves will need to be adjusted. The pegs that hold the shelves in place are sometimes tuff to get in and out. So a plyers is a must! On a side note, if you’ve lost some pegs or need additional pegs you can purchase different varieties at your local hardware store. Be sure to bring an existing peg with to buy the right one.

5. A pad of paper and pen. As you unpack and decide systems and new placements for things, you’ll notice items you might need to shop for. They could be organizational products, or basics like another bathroom garbage can or floor mat.

6. A tape measure. As you think of things you need, that might involve some measuring. For example: shades, blinds, etc.

7. Garbage bags. All that packaging paper and used tape and bubble wrap will be gathered into lots of garbage bags. Don’t skimp. Get a lot. 

8. Cleaning and furniture wipes. Before you put kitchen items away and books back onto bookshelves, you may want to wipe them out with Clorox wipes or Pledge wipes.
