Tips for a smooth move in Ottawa

You should create a packing checklist before you start to stay organized. As you prepare for the big day, the following things will become necessary for a move.

• Boxes. When it comes to packing, these should come first. It can be easier to organize your home if the items there come in various sizes.
• Tape. You should use a strong adhesive to seal boxes, bubble wrap fragile items, and more.
• A set of practical scissors. Utility knives can be used to cut a wide range of materials. 
• Marker. Remembering which objects went in which box is important.
• Plastic bag. You can put in non-perishable food items and smaller objects like spoons or forks.
• Blankets. You can protect mirrors and other breakable things with blankets.
• Newspaper and/or bubble wrap. Packaging kitchenware like cups and dishes, blankets, bubble wrap, or newspaper can be useful.

Packing Tips for a smooth move

While packing can be stressful, getting ready to move into a new house can be exciting and joyful. Knowing what to pack and which room to start with might take a lot of work. Look at this! We made this list for you.

Packing A Kitchen Or Pantry

• Before packing, empty and clean all kitchen appliances (coffee maker, toaster, blender, etc.). Place the cords inside the appliance after wrapping them in a plastic bag.
• If you have them, pack appliances in their original packaging.
• Place all breakable goods in a box marked “FRAGILE.”
• Use bubble wrap for smaller dishes and save them from breaking.

Packing A Living Or Family Room

• Lamps and light bulbs should be taken out of chandeliers and wrapped separately.
• Keep any photos or videos with you during your move because hot, humid weather can damage photo paper.
• Wrap paintings and mirrors in blankets and towels.
• Use the original packaging and boxes to repack any devices, such as televisions, if you still have them.

Packing A Bedroom

• Place hanging clothing in boxes or moving containers with the hangers still hooked up.
• Jewelry and other priceless items should be kept in a safe case or box. Keeping them with you is better than in the moving van.
• You can pack quickly by putting loose items in suitcases or travel bags.
• Put the shoes in their original boxes or inside larger boxes.
• Cover couches and furniture with old sheets and blankets.
• Place all pillows and bedding in labeled moving boxes after placing them in trash bags to keep dust out.

Packing A Bathroom

• Try to pack your toiletry items last.
• Make sure all toiletries are packed in plastic bags to prevent leaks.
• Medication boxes should be labeled and packed individually.
