-
Label each box as follows: Name, Room, Contents.
-
Drain all fluids from power & yard tools so they won't leak.
Dispose of all corrosive & volatile chemicals such as oil,
anti-freeze and gasoline.
-
After cleaning refrigerator, allow the door to remain open for a
while to decrease the humidity in the appliance. Place a
stocking filled with coffee grounds or charcoal inside the freezer
and refrigerator sections to prevent mildew and musty smells.
- Use
strong, clean containers and seal them with packing tape.
- Try
not to exceed 50 pounds in each packed container.
-
Place heavier items on bottom and lighter items on top.
-
Protect finished surfaces with paper to avoid mars and scratches.
Use plenty of padding (clean crumpled paper, bubble wrap or styro-foam
peanuts) to cushion contents. Recycle materials after the move
if possible.
- Pack
containers tightly to avoid shifting.
-
Fragile items should be packed with extra care in their own
compartmentalized boxes.
- Wrap
electronic items individually before packing and cushion them well.
We recommend using the original manufacturer's cartons for those
items.
- Make
certain all liquids and foodstuffs are in sealed containers.
We do not recommend shipping opened bottles of liquid of any kind.
-
Don't overload chests and dressers with clothing and linen items.
This could cause furniture joints to separate and collapse.
- Do
not wrap lampshades in newspaper; the ink can rub off and stain
them. Wrap them in sheets or towels.
- Once
you vacate your property, any fixtures or items left behind become
the property of the new owner. Make an extra walk through
prior to the van's departure.
- If
you've hired a moving company, let them pack mirrors and pictures in
special cartons to prevent possible damage.
