useful for moving!
if you're planning on moving, definitely invest in totes!! they're a lot more sturdy than boxes and can be resused for either storage or for when you need to move again!
HDX 27 Gal. Tough Storage Tote in Black and Yellow 999-27G-HDX
this cleaning product? my absolute FAVORITE for cleaning basically anything. but, while i listed it from walmart, PLEASE go buy it from the dollar store for like $1.25 and save you some money.
LA's Totally Awesome All Purpose Cleaner & Degreaser, Original, 32 fl oz
packing paper to protect your fragiles of course! pair this with the packing foam for ultra protection. or hey, wrap your fragiles in socks and blankets for double storage and less to buy!
Pen+Gear 24 in x 24 in White Packing Paper for Moving & Shipping, 220 Sheets, 7.22 lb
as mentioned in the packing paper listing, use this with your fragiles! it helps everything from bumping each other and potentially breaking
Office Depot® Brand Micro Foam Packing Sheets, 12" x 12", Pack Of 100
if you do decide on getting boxes, which i did in fact get a few because totes can be expensive, then obviously you're going to need packing tape!
Scotch 1.88 in. x 54.6 yds. Heavy Duty Shipping Packaging Tape with Dispenser 3850-RD-DC
as a housekeeper, seeing that someone took the time to shampoo their carpet before moving out means a lot to me.. less for me to do AND they got their full security deposit back, so take the time to do so if you can!
BISSELL Deep Clean + Refresh with Febreze formula 60 -oz Steam Cleaner Chemical Solution
hands down one of the best mops i've used, and it definitely helps in the cleaning process before moving out.
O-Cedar EasyWring Microfiber Spin Mop Set
what I plan to buy for my new place!
while this is pretty pricey, i do plan on purchasing this to help get out any odors or lingering things in the air before and after moving my things in to help reduce allergens in the air!
Medify MA-40 Air Purifier True HEPA H13
i feel like this is kind of self explanatory, but as a toddler mom this will make me feel so much safer in the case of a fire.
First Alert Fire Extinguisher, UL 1-A:10-B:C, Red
since i'm going from an apartment to a house, i'm going to want as much protection as possible, and being able to see who is at my door without physically having to be near it will help out a lot.
Ring Video Doorbell Wired, HD Camera & Alerts
hear me out on this one.. i've had several instances where i've had to fix something and didn't have the proper tools, well i plan on investing in an actual kit to prevent that.
412-Piece Home Repair & Auto Tool Kit
i always get anxious about things like this after hearing stories, so i want to stay prepared and get this item to help detect it before it's too late!

since i'll be moving to a bigger place, i want to be able to stay on top of cleaning so this will definitely help!!
Tikom Robot Vacuum Mop Combo 5000Pa G8000
with as many water bottles as i go through now, i am most definitely investing in a water dispenser so i can save not only on water bottles but on waste!
