Posted by Neha Pillai on January 28th, 2020

While moving internationally, you should give considerable thought to your packing process before beginning anything so that you can avoid unnecessary chores and save time and energy. Hiring packers and movers Singapore to India as your first step makes things a million times easier. Packing can be quite the hassle even with professional help. However, it can be less of a problem with Writer Relocations. So we suggest you start packing the living room and the kitchen first. Pack the bathroom last. When you come to the bathroom, remember these handy tips to sort and pack your bathroom. 

Sorting your bathroom items can be easy if you are very clear about what you want to keep and what you want to let go of. To make quick work of sorting all the items you have, split them into these compartments: 

• Toiletries: dental products, hair products, shower gels, soap and shaving accessories

• Medicines: first aid kit, prescription medicines. 

• Cosmetics: powders, lipsticks, nail products, eye makeup items and foundation. 

• Appliances: hair straightener, electric razors and trimmers, curling irons. 

• Bathrobes, towels and napkins will go together. Perfumes and deodorants will be kept together.  

• Paper products: toilet paper, paper towels, tissue paper. 

• Cleaning products: bathroom cleaner, toilet cleaner, bleach and detergents. 

Keep a few items separate from the things you are packing for carrying with you while traveling instead of handing them over to the movers and packers Singapore to India. This list should include first aid, hand soap, a hair comb, toilet paper, shampoo, towels and toothbrushes. Feel free to add items that you need every day no matter the day and situation. This group of items will help you get through moving day, relocating to India and the first few days of living in your new home. This way, you can unpack other items at your speed and peace. Another option is to keep some of these items in the box that is generally filled with items you need on the first night at your new home. This box is called the ‘open first box’.

• Check if any items are over, have expired or not working. Throw them in the garbage. You don’t need to pack these items and increase the number of boxes you hand over to the packers and movers from India to Singapore. 

• Donate anything that you have in doubles, you don’t need an extra trimmer or curling iron. If you haven’t opened and never intend to use certain items donate them without a second thought. 

• If possible, use up half-finished cleaning products and paper products. This way you don't have to worry about packing and moving hazardous cleaning products that come with a lot of precautions. 

• While shipping household goods from Singapore to India remember that products that come in glass bottles and vials need to be packed very carefully. Any tubes and plastic bottles need to be kept separate in case of any spillage.
