Are you worried about your priceless furniture getting damaged during the moving process? Are you unsure of how to prep your furniture? A home cannot be a home without furniture. Couches, tables, chairs, desks - much of what we decorate our home with - falls into this category, and is important to making a home feel as though it is our own. Below are some helpful tips for preparing your furniture for the move.
Larger pieces of furniture should be disassembled if possible. Separate components weigh less and are easier to navigate through tight corners.
From delicate corners to the tiniest of parts, it is important to keep your eyes on the details.
While it’s tempting to tape the doors of your dresser shut, NEVER use tape directly on furniture. Adhesives can damage wood finishes, fabric, and glass. Instead, professional movers use large rubber bands or plastic wrap to secure mobile parts.
Avoid common mistakes like stacking heavy items on fragile furniture or leaving items unsecured in the truck, as these can lead to costly damage.
Before wrapping or disassembling your furniture, take the time to clean it thoroughly. Dust and dirt can scratch surfaces during transport. Use a soft cloth and appropriate cleaning products to ensure your furniture is in its best condition before the move.
For upholstered furniture, vacuum to remove any debris, and consider using fabric-safe cleaners to freshen up the material.
One of the most overlooked steps in preparing furniture for a move is ensuring it fits through doorways, hallways, and staircases.
This extra step can save time and prevent unnecessary frustration on moving day.
