Top ten moving hacks (with TikToks!)

Everything you need for a smooth move
 
Moving is a pain. Anything that can make it easier is a good thing – like downloading BeMoved, the app that creates a moving plan tailored to you. 

But that’s just the beginning. We’ve put together our top ten moving hacks, with TikToks to demonstrate. Use these, plus the app, and you’re bound to have a smooth move.
1
Bag it, don't fold it

Folding clothes is so 2022. Watch this TikTok for an easy way to bulk transfer your garments from A to B without even taking them off the hangers.

2
Pad your plates
There’s nothing worse than opening a box to see shards of porcelain. Keep your plates whole with old towels or bubble wrap. And whatever you use, make sure you wrap them properly. This TikTok will show you how.
3
Handle it
Protect handles on your cupboards, cabinets and drawers with this handy handle hack. You’ll probably already have the screwdriver and tape out, so it’s super easy to do. Watch this TikTok here.
4
Pack and vac

Vacuum storage bags are a space saver and a life saver. For bulky bedding or clothing, switch out the packing boxes or containers for these babies and they’ll shrink your items by half. Need proof? Watch this TikTok.

5
Size does matter

Boxes come in all shapes, sizes and uses. Make sure you’ve got the right ones for the right items. This TikTok shows you just some different types of packing boxes you could get.

6
Use a blanket solution

Moving blankets can help protect big and valuable items, like TVs and monitors. Watch this TikTok to find out how you can use one to its full potential.

7
Clean like a pro

Moving is messy business. Your new home should feel just that: new. But once you move the boxes in and get dust everywhere, suddenly the place doesn’t seem so clean. These TikTok hacks make it surprisingly easy to freshen up the house.

8
Put your home to the test

There’s a couple of things you should do when you’ve moved in. It’s all about making sure the place is safe, secure and undamaged. This TikTok breaks down the steps (with a bonus cute dog!)

9
Get the magic box

You’re almost done packing and you’ve got some stuff left. You’re not sure whether to keep it or throw it and you’re tired. Package those things up, pop them away and forget about them until you’ve got the space to deal with them. Watch here to see just how easy it is to do!

10
Head to the shops

You’ve moved in, and you realise you need a few things to fill out your new place. Shopping for a new home is the most fun part – you get to pick your new decor, and ‘I need it for the home’ is an excuse for just about any purchase. This TikTok could be you in no time.
