Packing the Smallest Room in the House

Jan 15. 2019

We like to leave no stone un-turned in our advice on preparing your house for moving day; so here are some vital tips on packing your bathroom contents:

Tape up any opened bottles of toiletries (shampoo etc) to avoid spillages in transit.
Pack the essential toiletries you use on a daily basis in a separate bag that you will keep with you and not be packed away into a box on the removal van.
Apply cotton wool on top of any compressed powders to help stop them from cracking during transit.
Wrap bubble wrap around eye shadow palettes and secure with tape to also minimise cracking.
Pack nail varnish bottles into zipped bags and, for added protection, wrap each bottle in paper before transferring to a zipped bag.
If possible, separate make-up into liquids, creams and powders when packing. If there are spillages it will limit the number of products damaged.
Bathroom towels are really useful as padding for protecting other items. Use clean, dry towels to protect other more fragile items.
Where possible pack electrical hair appliances in their original box and packing, if you’ve been able to keep them, to best protect them during the move.
Group together very small pieces like hair ties and hair clips into zipped bags.
When transferring into boxes, place the heavier bathroom items at the bottom of the box and label each box with a summary of the contents.
