Why You Need a First-Night Moving Box

So you just moved. It's late. You're exhausted. And now you can't find your toothbrush, pajamas, or even toilet paper.

That’s why you need a first-night box.

This one box can save your sanity after the move. Here’s what to pack:

  • Toiletries: Toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo.
  • A change of clothes. Pajamas. Something comfortable.
  • Chargers for your phone and anything you can’t live without.
  • Basic kitchen stuff: A mug, a plate, maybe instant coffee.
  • Snacks. Yes, snacks are survival.
  • And don’t forget toilet paper. Seriously.

Label this box clearly. Keep it with you. Don’t let it ride in the truck.

Or if you want the stress-free version, let "iBox Moving" prep everything for you. Follow for more moving tips that actually make life easier.

FAQ

How Do You Protect Items answered by iBox Moving experts

How Do You Protect My Belongings During the Move? – FAQ from iBox Moving

How Do You Protect My Items During the Move?

At iBox Moving, the safety of your belongings is our top priority. We use professional tools, materials, and techniques to make sure everything arrives at your new home in the same condition it left.

Furniture Protection

  • Blanket Wrapping: All large furniture pieces are wrapped in thick moving blankets to prevent scratches and dents.
  • Shrink Wrap: Used on upholstered furniture or items with drawers to secure them during transport.
  • Mattress Bags: Optional covers to keep your mattress clean and dry — available upon request.

Floor and Doorway Protection

We can use runners and door jamb protectors upon request, especially in buildings with strict HOA or apartment move-out rules.

Boxed and Fragile Items

  • We stack and secure boxes tightly in the truck to prevent shifting.
  • Fragile items (glass, dishes, electronics) are labeled and handled with care.
  • Heavy boxes go on the bottom, lighter ones on top — always balanced and safe.

Special Handling for Delicate Items

For pianos, art, TVs, mirrors, or high-value pieces, we use extra padding and proper tie-downs inside the truck. Let us know in advance so we can bring what’s needed.

Do You Offer Extra Insurance?

We’re fully licensed and insured. Basic valuation coverage is included with every move. If you want full value protection, we can walk you through options or connect you with a third-party insurer.

Want Extra Peace of Mind?

Let us know what matters most to you — and we’ll take extra steps to secure it. Our crews are trained to treat your home and belongings with care and respect.

Move In Cleaning explained in our moving guide

Move-In Cleaning Tips – Prepare Your New Home Like a Pro

Why Move-In Cleaning Matters

Before unpacking a single box, it’s important to deep clean your new home. Even if it looks clean, unseen dirt, allergens, and bacteria could still be present from previous tenants or construction.

1. Start with the Kitchen

Wipe down all cabinets, sanitize countertops, and scrub appliances inside and out. Don’t forget the fridge coils, oven racks, and under the sink.

2. Clean Bathrooms Thoroughly

Use a disinfectant on toilets, sinks, tubs, and tiles. Replace toilet seats if needed. Clean behind and around fixtures, and check for mold or grime buildup.

3. Dust and Vacuum Every Room

Dust ceiling fans, baseboards, blinds, and light fixtures. Then vacuum carpets and mop hard floors. Use a HEPA vacuum to remove allergens.

4. Sanitize High-Touch Surfaces

Doorknobs, light switches, handles, remotes, and thermostat controls — wipe all of them down with disinfectant wipes or spray.

5. Don’t Forget Closets and Drawers

Clean shelves, closet floors, and any built-in drawers. Add shelf liners for extra protection before placing your belongings.

6. Consider Professional Help
