In their guide, Movers.com suggests that readers first make a list of each piece of furniture they will be taking with them, as this will allow them to determine the amount of packing materials they will need. The most commonly used products are bubble wrap, plastic stretch wrap, corrugated cardboard sheets, resealable plastic bags, furniture blankets, and packing tape, and Movers.com says that readers should be prepared to use all of them for the move.
Disassembling furniture where possible and wrapping the parts are two measures individuals can take to help the process run more smoothly, both by making large pieces easier to transport and preventing potential damage caused by door frames and walls. Movers.com notes that moving blankets are ideal for wrapping wooden pieces and glass tabletops, whereas glass doors and shelves can be protected with packing paper. They also say that it’s best to pack mattresses and sofas in specially made plastic covers or shrink wrap, as these will reduce the chances of rips, stains, and moisture damage.
The guide also highlights the importance of wiping furniture down before packing, as dust and dirt may scratch hard surfaces during transportation. White vinegar, water, and natural soap solutions are unlikely to stain upholstery and wood, making them suitable for cleaning. When the time comes to load the items into the moving truck, Movers.com advises readers to use a dolly for large furniture to avoid personal injuries.
