Tips and Tricks for Spring Cleaning Before Moving
Spring is the perfect time to declutter and refresh your home — and if you’re planning a move, it’s also the best opportunity to lighten the load. At Monarca Movers, we’ve seen firsthand how spring cleaning before moving makes a huge difference in reducing stress and saving time. Here are some expert tips to help you get started:
1. Start With a Plan
Before diving in, walk through your home and make a checklist of areas that need the most attention. Set goals for each room — whether it’s organizing the garage or purging your closet. Having a plan keeps you focused and prevents overwhelm.
2. Sort and Declutter
Use the classic “Keep, Donate, Toss” method. If you haven’t used something in a year, chances are you won’t miss it. This step not only clears space but reduces what you’ll need to pack — and possibly lowers your moving costs.
3. Tackle One Room at a Time
Don’t try to clean your entire house in a single day. Instead, take it room by room. It’s more manageable and satisfying to see progress as you go.
4. Deep Clean After Decluttering
Once the clutter is gone, give each space a thorough clean. Dust high shelves, wipe baseboards, and clean windows. A clean home is easier to pack and makes a great impression if you’re selling.
5. Dispose of Hazardous Materials Properly
Remember that movers can’t transport items like paint, aerosols, or cleaning chemicals. Safely dispose of these and avoid last-minute surprises.
6. Pack as You Go
While cleaning, begin boxing items you won’t need before moving day. Label everything clearly and keep essentials aside. This helps streamline moving day and prevents frantic last-minute packing.
7. Ask for Help If Needed
Whether it’s hiring a junk removal service or booking your move with Monarca Movers, don’t hesitate to get professional support. We’re here to make your transition smooth and stress-free.
Final Tip: Spring cleaning before your move sets the tone for a fresh start in your new home. You’ll arrive with less baggage — literally and emotionally.
