There tends to be a mad rush just prior to loading up the moving trucks and heading out. There is only so much you can pack up and set aside before you actually leave. Before you move, you will want to get rid of any hazardous chemicals associated with the laundry so that you do not have to worry about transporting them. In order to make sure that your family will have clean clothes during the moving process, it is wise to have a small bottle of laundry detergent or powder that is kept out and can be easily thrown away when you leave. If you’d like to pack your detergent and fabric softener to take with you try wrapping them with plastic grocery bags and putting them in their own plastic boxes to prevent leaks.
Items like ironing boards are easily packed by covering them with a plastic sheet of some type to protect the surfaces while moving. If you use a collapsible drying rack, make sure it is in the folded position so that it takes up as little space as possible.

You can load them with clean clothing of course or you can pack smaller items like children’s toys or books. No need to go out and purchase extra packing boxes when you have these handy guys around.
