How To Take Care Of Furniture While Moving House

Moving from one location to another can be an extremely tedious process. It is because you need to take care of your large as well as small objects. For most people, shifting their furniture becomes one of the major responsibilities while moving to the new house. You need to ensure that the furniture reaches the new location without being damaged or broken. 

Here are some of the essential tips that you can use to ensure that your furniture is taken care of while moving to a new house.

#1 Disassembling Of Heavy Furniture: 

The first and foremost thing that you must do to safeguard your furniture is to start disassembling them two to three weeks before the moving day. You need to prepare a list of all the furniture that could be disassembled and start working on them one by one. These can include your bed frames, or tabletops, sofas/couches (if you have a modular sofa). After disassembling these furniture pieces, you need to make use of the packing supplies to cover them perfectly and keep them in a safe place. 

#2 Don’t Forget To Place The Small Essential In Labeled Packets:

Besides heavy furniture, there might be many other items that you need to remove from the wall sockets and pack them. In this process, you might be having a lot of screws, bolts, and nuts. You need to pack these screws, nuts, and bolts in separate packets and also label them. So while assembling them again, you would know which screw set is for which furniture piece.

#3 You Need To Safeguard As Well As Shield The Furniture Pieces While Moving Them From One Location to Another:

While you are packing the furniture, they might come in touch with the walls and any other hard structures and may get damaged or leave a dent or mark on the furniture. So for keeping your furniture safe and secure during the shifting process, you must get some large moving pads and cover the entire furniture with them. Make sure you are using high-quality tapes and bands so that the pads do not come out. Moreover, you can cover the flooring with different thicknesses of cardboard so that there is no scratching on the surface of the floor. If you do not want to make any extra purchases, simply use the unused blankets to protect the furniture. 

#4 For Small Furniture And Decor Items Get High-Quality Packing Supplies: 

Apart from the large furniture pieces, you also need to take care of the smaller furniture items and decor pieces. To keep these well protected, you need to get packing supplies such as cardboard boxes, bubble wraps, packing tapes, and soft clothing. You need to keep all the delicate items inside the soft clothing and cover it up with bubble wrap. Finally, place the items in the cardboard boxes. In this way, you can ensure that not only the large furniture but also the small furniture is packed safely. 

#5 Make Use Of The Specialized Equipment For Shifting Heavy Furniture: 

If you are planning to move the heavy furniture on your own, then it would not be recommended by experts. You must hire the packers and movers to help you with such a difficult process. But if you are keen to do it yourself, then make sure that you rely on the use of specialized equipment to move the furniture. You can get hold of different equipment such as furniture gliders, towels, and thick cardboard that can help you to smoothly move the furniture without causing damage to the floor. 

#6 Get The Perfect Insurance For Your Furniture:

While moving your furniture from the old location to the new location, the packers and movers take perfect care. But accidents may happen out of the blue, and you need to be prepared for them. There are valuable items (furniture, gadgets, and home appliances) in the moving vehicle which might get damaged due to an accident. So you must apply for the insurance cover for the furniture. It will help you to get financial help if any such thing happens. Search for the best insurance cover and get it before your moving day.

Summary:

Pieces of furniture are the most valuable things, which you need to take care of while moving from an old location to a new location. The aforementioned tips will help you to take care of your furniture perfectly, and prevent any sort of damage.
