Mirrors and Pictures:
Select a box that is larger than your picture or mirror.
Leaving the box flat, open the bottom of the carton, seal one of the ends/flaps with tape. Lay the picture of mirror face down on several sheets of packing paper or blanket, then fold over the edges of the paper/blanket and seal them with tape. Slide the picture or mirror into the unsealed side of your carton and seal the carton’s end with tape,
Mark these boxes GLASS FRAGILE and load them standing up between matteress’ or furniture.
Clothing:
Hnag clothes on hangers in a hang up carton.
Neveruse a garment bag. Moving will destroy them.
Leave clothes in the drawers of any dressers. Drawers should be carried seperatley but placed back into the dressers during transport. Always tape or place the drawers against the side of the truck to prevent opening.
Lamp Shades:
Whenever possible, pack lamp shades two or three to a box, filling the interior open space with towels or blankets.
Use plain, wrapping paper (not newspaper) as a lining between each shade.
Don’t pack anything else with lampshades that could move around and cause any damage.
Write FRAGILE on the sides of the box.
Tables:
Best to remove the legs and stack on the edge. If unable to remove the legs protect the table top with a blanket.
Refrigerators and Freezers:
Defrost, dry and load refrigerator or freezer in upright position.
Before laying refrigerator or freezer down for a move, check with its manufacturer. Most brands can be moved on their sides.
Do not connect the appliance in your new home until the unit has stood upright for at least 24 hours
Small Kitchen Appliances:
Small items such as blenders and coffee makers should always be packed together.
Wrap each appliance separately with two or three sheets of wrapping paper and place it in the box.
Fill empty spaces with paper, blankets or towels.
