Moving is primarily stressful when it comes to packing. Whether you are packing your items yourself or relying on your Florida moving company for expert packing, there are a few things you can do to stay organized. One of the best tips we can provide is to not pack items you do not wish to take with you or no longer serve a purpose. Throwing out or recycling broken items and trash or donating old clothes, toys, and furniture is a great way to downsize your move. Learn to love plastic wrap! Plastic wrap is a great tool to keep your silverware in a plastic tray for easy moving. You can also use it to keep drawers closed. Don’t forget to take a picture of the back of your TVs and computers so you have a reference. You can even buy colored tape, tape the cord then place tape by the port that it goes in for easy setup later on!

One of people’s greatest worries when they move is breaking fragile and sentimental items. At GM Van Lines, we understand the importance of having the right packing materials, along with the right training for ensuring all valuables reach their desired destination without damage.

Whether moving a home or an office, there are some heavy items such as furniture, electronics, and appliances that require special attention. Use the right equipment like carts, dollies, pulleys, trolleys, and moving pads, while lifting with your knees to avoid injury or damage to your belongings. Also, don’t forget to defrost your refrigerator! You should defrost it then towel dry, and clean it a day or two before your moving day. Presto — no stink!
