  • cleaning supplies
  • basic tools
  • bedding and linens
  • personal items

There might be some immediate work that needs to be done right after your move with movers Brandon MS.

Bedding, linens, and personal items are a must on a first night move-in checklist!

Bedding, linens, and personal items are things most of us have in mind when someone talks about a box with necessities for the first night after the move. It’s only logical that you want to hit the bed as soon as the relocation is over. That’s why you need your clean sheets and toiletries with you. There is nothing worse than having to rummage through boxes to find things that you need to make your bed for the night.

Don’t forget to carry your “essentials” box with you!

The most important thing once you pack everything from your first night move-in checklist in your “essentials” box is to place it in your car! Either way, movers won’t move certain items (such as cleaning supplies). Don’t forget to separate the “essentials” box from the other ones, because your movers can take it to the moving truck. In that case, if you arrive before the movers to your new home you will have to wait for them to come. Only then can you search through the boxes to find your necessities for the night. Pack away, and good luck with your move!
