Clean out coolers that may be used for transporting food for the move. Sit them aside and allow to air out and dry. Mow the grass and disconnect garden hoses and outdoor tools. Clean everything. Check with moving company for rules about transporting anything with a fuel tank. You may need to drain the tank. Pack the rest of the kitchen. Keep a box open in kitchen and pack things as you no longer need it. Remember to check the backs of drawers and tops of shelves Wipe containers or items that are dusty or have food residue. Make sure you aren’t packing anything that should be refrigerated. Read the labels. Toss or give away any food that won’t safely transport or is almost empty.
