List Of Essentials You Will Need On Your Moving Day
Are you preparing to pack for your upcoming move? When we are busy packing and doing stuff related to our relocation, we need many things readily available that are essential. Kingdom International Movers recommends that you do not forget to pack your essentials or necessities for the moving day and a few days after it.
It might be easy to overlook a few minor details that turn out to be crucial on moving day (and the days that follow) among all the planning, packing, and overall madness that surrounds the entire relocation process. After a hectic moving day, the last items you want to be frantically looking for are your phone charger, toothbrush, and bottle of sanitizer you can’t live without. In this blog, Kingdom International Movers, one of the leading international movers in Saudi Arabia, has enlisted a list of essentials that will be needed on your moving day. So don’t forget to read it until the end.
Cleaning Supplies
Most people fantasize about experiencing their brand-new home for the first time in sparkling conditions. They want the toilets to be spotless, the floors sparkling, and the closets in immaculate condition. However, quite often, they are not. Most likely, the house you’re moving into won’t be in perfect condition when you get there. Most movers and packers in Riyadh have experienced that when people move into a new apartment, it often needs cleaning.
Even if the previous owners had the house cleaned before you moved in, there will still be a few dust bunnies hiding in the corners, and the flooring will undoubtedly become somewhat soiled during the relocation. Some people learn the hard way how important it is to have cleaning products readily available on the first day of a move.

Clothing Hangers
This may seem a bit illogical at first, but clothing hangers are one of the most essential things when moving homes. Imagine you have set up your kitchen, living room, and entire bedroom. No matter how clean things are, when you unpack your wardrobe, you will need either a clean surface to put your clothes on or readily available clothing hangers that will come in handy to you.
To ensure that you know precisely where each hanger is in your new house, movers in Riyadh advise placing them all in a clear plastic bin when packing your belongings or at least keeping a few hangers on your essentials box. If not, you can end up searching through every one of your boxes for something (anything!) to hang your clothing from. As you unpack your clothing boxes in this manner, you can hang your clothing so that you don’t have to spend all day looking for it. Sometimes, despite taking all corrective measures, you may end up facing unexpected challenges. Our guide on how to handle unexpected challenges will help you face such issues.
Fire Extinguisher
Safety should always come first! You are going to need a fire extinguisher on hand if you intend to test out your kitchen by making dinner during the first week in your new home. It’s crucial to keep this little handy device close by in case the oven doesn’t operate as you expected, whether you moved the fire extinguisher yourself or bought a new one. You can prevent any unintentional kitchen fires that may start after your relocation by keeping a fire extinguisher nearby. Most packers and movers in Saudi Arabia carry fire extinguishers during the entire relocation process, so depending on the size of your relocation, you may not need to invest in one.
Toilet Paper
Moving companies in Saudi Arabia are amazed at how often people forget to include a few rolls of paper in their “first night” moving luggage, even though this one may seem quite self-explanatory. Pack extra toilet paper to last your family for the first few days or weeks in your new house to avoid making a trip to the convenience store on your already stressful moving day. The entire household, including your movers, will be grateful to you later. Read the eight things no one tells you about home removals to plan your upcoming relocation efficiently.
Batteries
When it comes to packing for a move, batteries are one of the most frequently forgotten goods but also one of the most crucial. Ask any moving company in Riyadh, and they will say that you will need them within the first week. A lack of batteries will drive you crazy the first few days and nights, whether it’s a broken TV remote control or a smoke detector that won’t stop beeping. You will also need flashlights if you are unsure whether your electricity will be on throughout the first day or night. Additional batteries are also necessary. So don’t forget to include a few packs of batteries of varying sizes and types for your upcoming move.
Tooth Brush and Toiletries
Make sure you are familiar with where your toothbrush (and toothpaste, if applicable) are kept. Don’t forget to include this crucial yet frequently overlooked item in your essential toiletry kit. Also carry a few small bottles of shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, and any other frequently used toiletries in your bag to avoid any hassles at the last moment.
Chargers
Last but not least, remember your electronic chargers! These might easily wind up being thrown away or, God forbid, left behind at the previous residence. A separate bag or box should be used to store each person’s phone charger, computer charger, and any other necessary charging equipment.
Concluding Lines
If you don’t intend to take these goods with you on moving day, make sure you label and neatly store them together in a box that is easy to locate. Otherwise, you might end up getting confused right on your moving day, making things messy for you.
