HOUSEHOLD ITEMS CHECKLIST

Moving into a new home can be overwhelming but keeping a checklist can help make your first days run smoothly. Household items can help families feel more comfortable in the new space. This will accelerate the timeline in which your new house feels more like your family home.



Pick up any groceries and/or personal items from the store that you’ll need for your first week in your new home.
Deep clean your new house, including your carpets, hard floors, windows, baseboards, ceiling fans, stairs, hard surfaces and furniture, so you can start unpacking in a nice, clean environment. You may choose to use a move-in cleaning company to save time and for convenience.
Make sure the chimney is clean and call for service, if needed.
Ensure that your house address is visible for future mail and deliveries.
Research security systems and install.
Purchase and/or check your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.
Make a list of decor items and furniture you want to purchase.
Ensure that you know the locations of emergency service providers in the event of an emergency.
If you have any damaged or lost items, make sure to file a claim with your moving company, in accordance with terms agreed to, in a timely manner.​
