In this article we will be going through some pro tips we've picked up along the years of doing removals.
#Tip1Make a list of things you shouldn't pack.There is a lot of items that you need to have access to during the moving process. Whether it is toiletries, changes of clothes, phone charger, etc. Having a reminder of what not to pack will keep you from scavenging around boxes for important belongings you need.
#Tip 2Have a designated packing zoneThis means having the tape, boxes and labels always in the same place. The packing zone of course will move between the rooms whilst you tick them off the list. Making sure you're stocked up on the materials in your designated corner will stop you searching for that bubblewrap you left somewhere.
#Tip3Pack lamps and their shades separatelyLamps are probably the most awkward thing to pack, especially because they are so fragile. The base of the lamp should be bubble wrapped, placed upright inside a box. Pack the lampshades also upright but in a separate box. If you have various shades, they perhaps could be stacked together.
#Tip4Use newspaper balls, pillows, blankets and towels to protect fragile objectsBlankets are great to use to stop objects from scratching against each other inside the boxes. If things can move inside the box, there is a high chance of something breaking. To fix things tightly inside a box use pillows and cushions. If your pillows are too big, use newspaper and scrunch it up into balls. These newspaper balls can be placed in little gaps that block movement inside the box.
#Tip5Stay organisedOrganise items based on common functions, room use or any other relevant factors. This will make it easier to track belongings and unpack easier at your new home. We hope this article has helped you in the moving process. Get in touch if you have any questions.
