How to Pack Pieces of Furniture Before Your Moving Date

Hi everyone, welcome to Hevligt Movers' moving tips! Today, we will show you how to pack your furniture safely and efficiently before your move. Let’s get started!

Step 1: Gather Supplies

First, gather the necessary supplies:

- Moving blankets or furniture pads

- Plastic wrap

- Packing tape

- Bubble wrap

- Furniture sliders

- Disassembly tools (screwdrivers, wrenches)

Step 2: Disassemble When Possible

Whenever possible, disassemble large pieces of furniture. Remove legs from tables, take apart bed frames, and detach shelves. Keep all screws and small parts in labeled plastic bags and tape them securely to the furniture they belong to.

Step 3: Protect Fragile Parts

Use bubble wrap to protect fragile parts like glass tabletops or mirrors. Secure the bubble wrap with packing tape, making sure the entire surface is covered.

Step 4: Wrap Furniture

Wrap each piece of furniture with moving blankets or furniture pads. This will protect against scratches and dents. Secure the blankets with packing tape, ensuring they stay in place during the move.

Step 5: Use Plastic Wrap

For extra protection, especially for upholstered furniture, wrap the entire piece in plastic wrap. This helps keep the furniture clean and free from dust and dirt.

Step 6: Protect Corners and Edges

Pay special attention to corners and edges, which are prone to damage. Use additional padding or bubble wrap to protect these areas.

Step 7: Use Furniture Sliders

Place furniture sliders under heavy items to make moving them easier and to protect your floors from scratches. This will also help reduce the risk of injury.

And there you have it! By following these steps, you can ensure your furniture is packed safely and securely for your move. For more moving tips and professional moving services, contact Hevligt Movers. Thanks for watching, and happy moving!
