1) GIVE AN EXTRA CLEAN

Deep cleaning the bathrooms and wiping down baseboards is a common first thing tackled when arriving at a new home. A quick clean cycle on the existing washing machine puts a new homeowners mind at peace when it comes to true cleanliness knowing the washer has been used by previous owners. An important tip when doing your clean cycle on your existing washing machine is to make sure to drain out the excess water from the drainage tube when the cycle is complete. This is generally located at the bottom of the machine. You can also google search where that drainage tube would be located on the specific model of the machine. lots of smells will arise, beware.

2) DECIDE WHERE ALL FURNITURE SHALL BE PLACED AND PUT TOGETHER THE NECESSARY ITEMS.

Beds are commonly assembled first, getting them pieced together with help is a big stress reliever.

3) PUT THE BOXES IN THE RIGHT ROOMS

Putting the labelled boxes in the correct rooms makes it easier to tackle one room at a time when unpacking items. Wasting time darting from room to room isn't always ideal on a move-in day.

4) INTRODUCING YOURSELF TO NEIGHBOURS

No baked goods necessary, a simple hello will establish friendly terms from early on. :)
