Your Baton Rouge Moving Checklist with DS Movers!

Moving to Baton Rouge is an exciting adventure, but the pre-move phase can feel like navigating a murky swamp. Take a deep breath, pack the po'boys (just kidding!… for now), and dive into our stress-free Baton Rouge moving checklist. From conquering closet chaos to taming the pantry tigers, this comprehensive guide will have you unpacking Bayou bliss in no time.

3+ Weeks Out

  • Declutter : Channel your inner minimalist! Donate, sell, or toss unused treasures lurking in closets and shelves.

  • Seasonal Stash: Pack away winter coats, beach umbrellas, and festive decorations. Give them a hibernation haven, knowing they'll return in all their glory when the season is right.

Two Weeks to Countdown: Taming the Paper Tigers

  • Books: Pack books in smaller boxes, like bite-sized chapters in your literary journey. Label them descriptively

  • Paper : Unleash your inner declutter guru and purge outdated bills, old magazines, and unused notebooks.

  • Art and Decor: Wrap paintings, pictures, and decor with care – bubble wrap, packing paper, and sturdy boxes are your allies. Mirrors deserve even more love – wrap them generously and secure them in specially designed mirror boxes.

One Week to Go: Cleaning Out Closets

  • Shoes: Pair up your shoes and pack them in sturdy boxes, heavier ones on the bottom, lighter ones on top. Shoe organizers or hanging pouches can keep your footwear collection accessible, even in the packing madness.

  • Wardrobe Wizard: Use wardrobe boxes for hanging items, but fill the bottom with lightweight shoes for added padding and space maximization. Consider using large, sturdy bags for out-of-season clothing or bulkier items like sweaters. Just seal them securely and label them clearly

Two Days to Go: Conquering the Kitchen

  • Pantry Purge: Unmask the expired spices, lonely cans of beans, and forgotten bags of pasta lurking in the shadows. Donate, toss, or repurpose

  • Cabinet Cleanout: Clear and wipe down those cabinets before packing. No one wants to unpack crumbs with their china! Pack heavier items like pots and pans in sturdy boxes, lighter utensils and dishes in smaller ones. Label those boxes clearly – "Spicy Sauces"

  • Fragile: Wrap delicate glassware and china in protective layers of packing paper and bubble wrap. Treat those teacups like prize-winning dishes – handle them with care! Pack sturdy pots and pans together, using them as dividers for lighter items. Wrap handles in bubble wrap to prevent scratches and dings.

Bonus Tip: Pack a "survival kit" with essentials like plates, mugs, a coffee maker, and basic utensils. This ensures you can whip up your first Baton Rouge breakfast without unpacking the entire pantry!
