How to Pack the Tricky Stuff
BASICS
In an office supply store or local storage facility make packaging materials. Consider what you are packing and supplies they need. For example, you may have cardboard boxes, wardrobe boxes, plastic bubble, filled with Styrofoam, newspaper, string, duct tape and permanent markers.
If possible, heavy items should be packed in their own boxes that can be handled easier. For example, computers, electronic equipment, or the camera can be packed in boxes purchased.
Fill the remaining boxes you pack to capacity, but do not overfill the box could rupture and break. Fill any empty space in boxes with paper newspaper or Styrofoam padding. After the packaged items, label the boxes for easy identification. Plan your storage space easy access to the things that need more.
Major Appliances
What is important for refrigerators, freezers, washing machines, dryers, stoves are clean and dry before being packed and stored. When storing these items, the doors must be closed. Refrigerator and freezer doors may leave a bit open to prevent mold, however, be sure to child proof the door so that you can not open the whole way. During the move, if you chose to discard any equipment, be sure to completely remove the door for the child can not enter and close the door.
Home Furnishings
If possible, remove the legs of furniture to prevent damage and save space. Before saving, the emptiness of their furniture and remove any loose change chairs or sofas.
Empty dressers, trunks and unity of all the clothes in wardrobe boxes case. Secure furniture doors and drawers with tape or strong tape. Use ball naphthalene or similar devices to protect their clothes full of insects and other pests.
KITCHEN ITEMS crockery, glassware, FRAGILE
These articles must be packaged in a way that will not fall against each other. Avoid this newspaper or Styrofoam packing in free space between your items.
Place packing material at the bottom of the box. Wrap each item by itself with tissue paper. Finally, seal the box with tape. Check the box as "fragile" and identify which room they belong in. To avoid the crush, do not load heavy boxes above them.
Silver, gold, bronze and other objects metal
For these items, wipe all surfaces clean. Wrap items individually in materials that do not damage the finish, as bubble wrap, make sure the packaging material used is chemical free.
Place the packing material in the bottom of the box, mark table so fragile, and identify which room belongs in. To avoid crushing, do not load heavy boxes on top of these items.
ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT (computers, home entertainment equipment, cameras)
If possible, pack these items in their original state carton and packing materials. However, if you no longer have the original box, packaged with care. Place the packing material at the bottom of the box and wrap each piece in bubble wrap itself. Place newspaper or other packing material in the recesses of the box and seal it with tape. Check the box as "fragile" and identify the correct room. For additional tips on equipment, see our section on www.123movers.com.
THINGS IN YOUR SHED (gardening and other mechanical devices)
The best advice is in the owner's manual or the original manufacturer. In general, remove all fuel, check or prevent the lubricant to prevent leakage. Instead of putting these items in boxes, wrapped in plastic or cloth and secure with a heavy rope or tape. Check each item after representing them. Do not store heavy objects on top of their mechanical elements.
PLANNING YOUR USE OF STORAGE SPACE
If you plan carefully, you can easily get the most out of a small warehouse. Do not place heavy objects on top of more fragile. Divide the storage area by item type. Be sure to give yourself easy access to items that need to get the maximum placing near the opening of the storage unit. Leave other bridges around items so you can reach them.
USE OF RENTAL EQUIPMENT self-storage
Always read the contract and make sure to observe the rules and regulations of the facility being used. Ask the facility managers for advice if necessary. Do not store dangerous goods, chemicals or illegal items.
