Moving Tips

• Pack the items you will need FIRST in a clear plastic bin.
• Wrap your breakables (dishes, glasses, etc.) in clothing to save on bubble wrap.
• For extra padding, pack your glasses and stemware in clean socks.
• In addition to labeling what's in your boxes, add what room they'll be going into, as well.
• Pack plates vertically, like records. They'll be less likely to break.
• Keep drawers intact by covering them with Press'n Seal.
• Keep sandwich bags handy for holding any small parts of things you have to take apart, like curtain rods or mounted flat-screen TVs.
• Cut down on boxes by making all of your baskets, laundry bins, hampers, and suitcases work for you.
• It doesn't hurt to number your boxes.
• Remember to defrost your refrigerator at least a day before moving and wipe up any liquid.
