Moving during the summer? Discover how MI-BOX  portable storage rentals can make moving breeze! Here are the benefits and tips to keep cool while packing up your home.

Moving is never easy, but doing it in the hot summer months can be especially challenging. The heat can be overwhelming and make simple tasks feel impossible. 

But don’t worry, there are a few things you can do to stay cool and comfortable during your move. In this post, we’ll give you some tips on how to keep cool while moving with a portable storage unit this upcoming summer.

Schedule your move during cooler hours:

The heat is usually at its peak between noon and 5 pm during the summer months. Therefore, it’s advisable to schedule your move early in the morning or late in the evening when it’s cooler. This will help you avoid the worst of the heat and make the move more bearable.

Wear appropriate clothing:

When you’re moving during the summer months, dress for the occasion. Wear lightweight, breathable clothing made from natural fabrics such as cotton, linen, or silk. These fabrics are more breathable and will help keep you cool. Also, be sure to wear a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun’s rays.

Stay hydrated:

It’s essential to stay hydrated when you’re moving during the summer months. Make sure you have plenty of water, sports drinks, or other fluids to keep you hydrated throughout the day. You can also eat fruits and vegetables with high water content like watermelon or cucumbers. Bring a cooler with ice and cold drinks to keep them cool throughout the day.

Use portable fans:

Portable fans can be a great way to stay cool while moving. They’re relatively inexpensive and can provide much-needed relief from the heat. If you’re using a portable storage unit, make sure it’s well-ventilated and keep the door open to allow for adequate airflow.

Take frequent breaks:

Moving is hard work and can be physically demanding, especially in the heat. It’s essential to take frequent breaks to avoid getting overheated or exhausted. Take breaks in the shade, sit down, and relax. It’s better to take multiple short breaks than to push yourself too hard and risk getting heat exhaustion or heat stroke. 

Plan ahead:

Planning ahead is essential when you’re moving during the summer months. Make sure you have everything you need before you start the move, including packing supplies, water, snacks, and any other essentials. This will help you avoid unnecessary trips in the heat and make the move more efficient.

Furthermore, when you book with MI-BOX portable storage rentals, you can keep your storage unit for days, weeks or even months before the move. This is the best way to plan for any time consuming hiccups along the way and make sure you’re able to work at your own pace.
