Tips for Moving Furniture.
Moving furniture around the house or to your storage unit can be a chore. Here are a few tips to make the process safer for you and minimize damage to your belongings:
Lighten the Load: Make the item as light as possible. For example, if it’s a dresser, remove the contents and drawers. This significantly reduces the weight, making it easier to move.
Slide When Possible: Sliding furniture is often easier and safer than lifting. Protect your floors by placing a carpet, cardboard, or moving blanket underneath the item. If using cardboard, tape it to the legs to prevent it from slipping out and scratching the floor.
Use a Dolly or Hand Truck: For large items like refrigerators, use an appliance dolly or hand truck. These tools come with straps to secure the appliance, ensuring it stays in place while moving.
These basics will help whether you’re moving across town or storing your items.
