Every year, millions of people make a big move to a new home, condominium, or apartment. When making the move, you have to make sure your belongings are protected from damage when loading, transporting, and unloading. One type of item that requires protection is fragile furniture. Furniture can be big and awkward to move thereby increasing the chances of damage during transport. Fortunately, there are a number of ways you can protect fragile furniture when moving.

When you prepare your bed for moving, you want to avoid dirt and moisture from getting on it and in it because mold and mildew can develop. Purchase mattress bags and cover both the mattress and box spring. You can also use shrink wrap to wrap the mattress. Make sure corners of the box spring are taped or cushioned using plastic or bubble wrap to protect it from damage.

When preparing couches and chairs, you can wrap them with a roll of shrink wrap to protect them from moisture and dirt. Pack the furniture to avoid scratches and other damage during transport. For each piece of furniture, remove all of the removable parts that are attached. This includes the legs, wheels, and cushions. Place all bolts, nuts and screws in a small plastic bag and label it with the name of the piece of furniture that it came from. Place pillows and cushions in large clear plastic bags and seal the bags to protect the items from dirt and moisture. Make sure you have removed all parts such as the wheels and casters. The arms and corners of couches and sofas should be wrapped with plastic bags to make sure nothing gets damaged as you are moving them. If you have furniture that can be damaged easily, use a protective padding such as towel, blankets, or bubble wrap.

When preparing tables and cupboards for moving, they should be covered with blankets or towels and wrapped in plastic. Bubble wrap is a popular choice for wrapping. The corners should be insulated with a towel and then wrapped and taped. Mirrors, hanging fixtures, and floor lamps, should be wrapped in towels and plastic bubble wrap. Then, slip it inside a large plastic bag and tightly close the bag. Make sure you remove the light bulbs.

When packing desks, bureaus, and dressers, you should use tape to make sure they don’t fall out during transport. To prevent scratches, wrap each item using bubble wrap. Then, cover each piece with plastic. You can also use towels and sheets to add an extra protective layer. You will also have removable parts that have to secure. Apply wax to fine wood furnishings to protect them from scratches.

Moving can be a very stressful and time consuming experience. Because many of us have furniture that we value and want to protect, it is imperative to know how to properly prepare them for the big moving day. It is important to be aware that there are professional movers that are trained and experienced in moving items that are susceptible to damage during transport. If you are concerned about your furniture, you may want to enlist the services of one of these professional moving companies.

Recycled boxes are strong candidates for shipping boxes. If you’re considering of shipping supplies, these boxes offer the protection that you desire. You can also utilize the used moving boxes in many different ways; for example, build small furniture for your child.

So, you’ve reached your new home, you’ve unpacked and now you’re stuck with dozens of moving boxes. Boxes, even when flattened, can take up a lot of space. Unless you’re planning to move within the next few months again, it’s not worth it to keep them around. So just what can you do to use those boxes once you’ve finished moving?

There are a number of things you can do with those boxes, but whatever you do, don’t throw them out! Here are a few ideas to get you started.

Sell them. How did you get hold of these moving boxes? Chances are, you either bought them from a moving company or else spent a lot of time scavenging suitable ones. It’s hard and expensive to find good, sturdy moving boxes, so it stands to reason that others will be looking for the same thing you did just a few weeks ago. They’re often willing to purchase boxes that have been used once, at a lower price. You get rid of the boxes and earn a bit of cash and the new buyers gain all the boxes they need for their move at a savings in time and money.

Turn them into storage. While you can certainly leave some things packed in the basement, attic or garage, there are other methods of storage. For example, you can cover the boxes with nice contact paper and stack them to form cheap, sturdy shelves in a child’s room. If you do stack them, offsetting is best for stable shelves and you should use something to hold them together. You can either remove the flaps, or screw in door handles to the two that close horizontally and use a hook to hold them shut.

Make a tunnel. This works particularly well for a child’s birthday party, but has also been used as a fundraiser. Take all the boxes that you have and open the flaps on both ends, taping them to elongate the box. Now start taping them together to form a long tube. You can actually create a maze this way. To form intersections, you’ll need to cut some boxes open and use them to cover the open areas where two or more tunnels meet. This works very well when it’s dark, since people can actually become semi-lost inside the box tunnel. The tunnel should hold up for some time, particularly if you’ve used sturdy tape, like duct tape.

Insulate a garage or attic. Cardboard works well to help insulate, which is actually why many street people use it as bedding. However, you don’t need to be poor in order to make very good use of those insulating powers. Use the flattened boxes to cover the roof or walls in a drafty garage and keep things warmer, or use it to lower the temperature a bit in your attic.

Whether you decide to use your moving boxes in your home or sell them and make some extra cash, don’t just throw them out. They’re still incredibly useful.

Moving from one home to another can seem overwhelming. There are so many things to consider, from shutting down one set of utilities and getting started with the next, painting, rearranging, trying to get adjusted to a new neighborhood and if you have children, getting them settled into their new school. All of this is time consuming and stressful. Then comes moving day and you may be completely undone by the huge number of boxes stacked in every room of your new home.

You may be hesitant to wade into the ocean of boxes because you fear you will never be able to finish unpacking and finding a good place for everything. The last thing you may be thinking about is what to do with all of those boxes once you have emptied them, but they will have to go somewhere. So , just what are you going to do with all of those empty boxes?

Recycling Works

Of course, you could simply throw all of those boxes away, but that is not your best solution, First of all, that simply moves the problem from one place to another. Now instead of the boxes being stacked in your rooms, they are piled up outside, waiting for garbage day. Second, the number of plastic garbage bags you will need to hold all of those boxes is itself detrimental to the environment.

A better solution is to recycle the boxes. This is easier on you and helps the environment. Boxes can be easily flattened by cutting the tape at each end. Then you simply have to stack them into piles of similar sizes and bind them together. They take up very little room like this to be stored until your community picks up recyclables. If the area you are moving into does not have regular recyclables pick ups, call the town hall. They may schedule a pick up for you or they can suggest a near by facility where you can drop them off.

New Home, New Habits

Many people see moving into a new home as starting with a fresh page. Everything is new and different and it is the perfect time to develop new habits before you get set in your ways. Make sure that the new routines you establish are beneficial to your family and the world around you.

Why not make recycling a regular part of this new lifestyle from the outset. Recycling is an easy habit to maintain once you get started. Teach yourself and your family the environmentally responsible way to live from the first days in your new home, when there are many changes happening. Don’t wait until you have gotten settled in because by then you may have already established a routine and separating your recyclables will seem like an additional chore. Done from the beginning, it will soon become a normal part of your daily life. A good way to break into this habit is to start from the very first day in your new home by recycling your boxes after moving.
