TIPS FOR MOVING IN WINTER

Whether your move is national or simply it is a local move, below tips will help you to have a successful relocation.

Clean and clear a path for the moving truck to your place

If your home is located in a snowy or wet area, maintain a clear walkway up to your entryway by removing mud, clutter, leaves and other debris from your designated moving path. Scrape the pathway & keep ice melted and snow shoveled to remove as much snow and ice on the days leading up to the moving vehicle’s arrival.
Protect Your Floors

In the winter when there is snow, water, ice and slush to deal with, floor protection is a very important thing to keep in mind. No matter how well you clean your exterior pathway, the floors in your house are subject to extra abuse due to some winter elements.

Protect your home with floor coverings. Secure all floor protection so movers aren’t at risk of slipping or tripping. Also, have a kit on hand to clean any residual spots on your hard-surfaced floorings and carpeting areas.
Find a Safe and Comfortable place for your kids and pets

While movers load your belongings to the moving van, make sure to have a safe and warm place to protect your children, elderly individuals or pets.
Double-wrap Delicate Items

Freezing temperatures and temperature fluctuations of winter can make glass and plastic shatter. Handle plastic tubs with care, and don’t leave them outside in cold temperatures.

Wrap glass, and other delicate items twice to protect them from extreme cold weather. Use paddings like bubble wrap to keep your art items safe. When you arrive at your new place, let the boxes of antique items warm up inside for a few days before opening and using.
