HOW TO MOVE AND PACK FURNITURE

Furniture movement causes a great exertion, especially heavy items. You might hire professional services, but in case you can’t afford them, you can follow these simple methods to pack and move your furniture.

How To Begin?

The foremost step is obviously to make an inventory of all the items to be moved. Decide which items to move first and move last.

It is imperative to seek the measurements of your items as well of all the doors, hallways stairs etc. This allows you to decide whether you can move your furniture smoothly through your house or you have to push it down directly from the balcony through ropes.

Items To Collect.

You need to then collect all the items that will help you to pack and move your furniture. Some of them are:

• Bubble Wrap,
• Tape,
• Plastic Wrap,
• Corrugated Cardboard,
•  Moving Blankets,
• Furniture Pads,
• Strong Ropes,
• Dolly,
•  Furniture Sliders,
•  Steel Lifters

 You can disassemble heavy types of furniture and pack their loose parts separately. For example:

• Almirahs: Drawers, Hangers etc.
• Sofa set: Arms, Legs etc.
• Bed: Pillows, Cushions, Bed Frames etc. 

 Use the furniture guide to avoid damage or injuries. Note down the steps involved to ensure you face no problems while reassembling it. Also, take a photograph of it and try preparing it well before the moving day.

Packing The Furniture Items

Remove everything from your furniture, drawers, and cabinets to make furniture pieces lighter. Pack all the small contents in the moving boxes and label them properly to make rearrangement easier later. Clean the empty furniture, if you can and remove dust and bacteria.

All items cannot be moved in cardboard boxes, especially large and heavy items. You shall wrap them in a protective moving material to dispatch them easily. You can use bubble wrap to cover some delicate items and wrap the furniture in padding.

Protection Of Floors And Doors.

Besides the furniture itself, you also have to protect the floors and doors of your house while moving the furniture. Cover the floors using:

• Moving Pads
• Plywood Sheets
• Carpet Film Protectors
• Corrugated Cardboard
• Blankets

 Also, don’t forget to protect the doors from scratches and damage.

Movement Of packed furniture.

You should learn and use proper lifting techniques to dispatch the furniture. Use your legs and not your back to lift heavy items. Take helpers along with you to move heavy items. Also, call professionals if you yourself fail to move the heavy items. Keep a first-aid kit ready to handle an emergency, if any.

Finally, before you send your furniture elsewhere, purchase insurance in order to cover for the possible losses or damage to your furniture
