1. Clean and Photograph Furniture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n
\"Man<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The first thing you should do is thor\u00adough\u00adly clean and inspect your fur\u00adni\u00adture before pack\u00ading it up. Not only does a thor\u00adough clean pre\u00adpare your fur\u00adni\u00adture for the move and for your new home, but it also gives you the oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty to inspect your fur\u00adni\u00adture close\u00adly. Note and pho\u00adto\u00adgraph any pre-exist\u00ading dam\u00adage so that you have records of the con\u00addi\u00adtion of your fur\u00adni\u00adture and per\u00adson\u00adal items before the move, in case any dis\u00adputes arise with your movers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure that you clean your fur\u00adni\u00adture<\/a> prop\u00ader\u00adly and with the cor\u00adrect mate\u00adri\u00adals. For exam\u00adple, if you\u2019re clean\u00ading a couch<\/a>, find an appro\u00adpri\u00adate fab\u00adric clean\u00ader and test the clean\u00ader on a swatch of fab\u00adric some\u00adwhere unno\u00adtice\u00adable to see if the clean\u00ader caus\u00ades dis\u00adcol\u00adoration. For wood fur\u00adni\u00adture, use a nat\u00adur\u00adal wood clean\u00ader to avoid stain\u00ading or dam\u00adag\u00ading the wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

2. Take Apart Furniture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n
\"Woman<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n

If pos\u00adsi\u00adble, dis\u00adas\u00adsem\u00adble your fur\u00adni\u00adture before the move. Tak\u00ading apart your fur\u00adni\u00adture will not only help you get it through your door\u00adways, but it will also make pack\u00ading much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The strain and pres\u00adsure on fur\u00adni\u00adture while mov\u00ading may loosen screws or lead to bent or bro\u00adken pieces, so tak\u00ading it apart will also help pre\u00adserve it. You can dis\u00adas\u00adsem\u00adble fur\u00adni\u00adture items such as bed frames, desks, tables, book\u00adshelves, and dressers. If you\u2019re unsure about how to take these items apart, con\u00adsult the build\u00ading man\u00adu\u00adal or instruc\u00adtions. If there are large pieces, such as table legs, label these with stick\u00aders. Be sure to keep track of all screws and hard\u00adware that you remove from your fur\u00adni\u00adture. Sort\u00ading the hard\u00adware and clear\u00adly label\u00ading which piece of fur\u00adni\u00adture it\u2019s from will save you time and frus\u00adtra\u00adtion when it\u2019s time to rebuild your fur\u00adni\u00adture in your new home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"Furniture<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Now that you\u2019ve cleaned, cat\u00ada\u00adloged, and dis\u00adas\u00adsem\u00adbled your fur\u00adni\u00adture, the best way to pro\u00adtect it is to pack it prop\u00ader\u00adly. Remove any cush\u00adions or pil\u00adlows and place them in clear plas\u00adtic garbage bags. Care\u00adful\u00adly insu\u00adlate any\u00adthing frag\u00adile or mate\u00adri\u00adals that could be scratched or scuffed. Uti\u00adlize pack\u00ading mate\u00adri\u00adals, such as bub\u00adble wrap, mov\u00ading blan\u00adkets, and card\u00adboard to pre\u00advent items from tap\u00adping against each oth\u00ader or falling dur\u00ading transit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it\u2019s time to load the mov\u00ading van<\/a>, max\u00adi\u00admize the space inside by strate\u00adgi\u00adcal\u00adly load\u00ading in your items. Start with the heav\u00adi\u00adest and bulki\u00adest items in the back of the van. Next, fill in space with box\u00ades and bins. Final\u00adly, fill the remain\u00ading space with odd\u00adly shaped items and frag\u00adile items that need extra cushioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

4. Hire Reputable Movers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Refer to the pho\u00adtographs and notes you took at the begin\u00adning of the process. If some\u00adthing is dam\u00adaged, do not repair it your\u00adself; instead, sub\u00admit a claim with the mov\u00ading company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
