Essentials for Easy and Effective Packing

There are many different ways to handle the effective packing process while moving, but this can definitely be a very stressful time for anyone, so the packing process can turn into something extremely difficult.

It’s important to keep in mind that there will be certain essential things you can do in order to make the effective packing process much easier. We are going to give you a list of some of the most relevant ways that you can do this in order to make your moving process and much easier and more pleasant experience.

Essentials for Easy and Effective Packing

1. Get rid of any clutter

You never want to start the moving process without decluttering the cargo that you are planning to bring to the other home. The best way to do this is to get rid of anything that you are not going to use in your new place.

Some people have many items at home that are just collecting dust. The best thing to do in this kind of situation is to get rid of those things that are not going to be of any use to you. This is also a good time to donate things that are still useful and to recycle those things that are not going to be of use to anyone.

A company like Available Movers can make this process much easier for you and they can help you pack and get rid of that clutter so that it can be sent or recycling or for donations.

2. Pack a box with several important tools and items

This is very important because you are going to be needing certain tools and specific things when you move. The last thing you want to be doing is trying to find those essential items in a sea of boxes that are all over the floor.

This is a constant problem that many people are having when they move. They get everything to the new place and they are missing all of these essential things. The biggest issue is that finding these items could turn into a huge ordeal and you are likely to be too tired to want to deal with that.

The items that we recommend that you pack include:

• A screwdriver set
• A hammer
• Measuring tape
• A first aid kit
• Some cups

These are just a few things that are going to be extremely important to consider having as soon as you arrive at your new home. They should all be packed together and you will be glad you made that decision. Also, avoid sending that box with the moving trucks. You should use your vehicle for this purpose.

3. Never fill boxes to the brim

One of the most common mistakes that people make when they are moving is that they will pack each box all the way to the top. This is going to make it easier for those boxes to end up damaged or opening up when they bump into other boxes or against walls.

An inch or two of space between the top of the box and the last packed item inside of it is going to be ideal. Do this with all of the boxes, and make sure that the heavier the contents, the less you fill the boxes.

4. Make a room by room inventory

This is going to be a family task, but you should oversee the inventory for your children of course as they may want to pack things that should not be packed. It’s a good idea to sit down with your kids and to let them know that anything they never use should not be packed and it could be donated to children in need.

This process is very important because it will allow you to have a good idea of how much is going to be packed from each room. This is also going to have an effect on the moving costs when the moving company gives you an estimate.

With that said, you can contact Available Movers and they will give you a quote on the moving and on the hauling of any items that you decide not to pack for the new house. This is one of the best ways to handle this process.

5. Wrap electronics on blankets

This is very important because when you pack electronics without any kind of padding, they are very likely to get damaged by the simple bumping and vibration that is going to occur during the haul.  This is the reason why we recommend that you get towels for your most delicate and expensive electronics and wrap those electronics.

When you do this, you can tack those electronics in boxes depending on their size and this is going to make it much harder for them to get damaged. If you don’t have enough towels for this purpose, it’s never a good idea to get a few extra towels.

6. Do not pack cleaning liquids and chemicals

Chemicals and detergents can easily spoil and make a huge mess on the boxes they are packed. It’s much better to make use of all of those chemicals before you move to the new location. If there is anything left, you should just give it away to your neighbors or put it in a box for someone else to take.

Hire a truly reliable service provider

Make sure that the service provided to you is going to be ideal for your needs. The great thing about hiring a service like Available Movers is that you are going to get a truly professional result.

They have been in business long enough to know how important it is for you to be satisfied with the results of the move. This is the main reason why they have managed to become the best and most reliable providers in the area. They are affordable, professional, and extremely careful with your cargo.
