The toughest part about moving to a new place is loading and unloading your stuff onto the back of a delivery truck. The preparation process takes more than a day to accomplish, even weeks with unexpected delays. That’s why we crafted a nifty guide to speed up the process without compromising the condition of your appliances. Your trusted home and office movers at Around Town Movers discuss more.
Clean Up After Kitchen Appliances
Both your stove and fridge are usually used up till the last day in your old home. To prepare for a move, you should unplug your refrigerator 24 hours before wrapping it and having your movers take it. You can avoid awful refrigerator smell when you plug it back in by clearing the freezer unit of liquid, cleaning and drying removable containers, and completely draining the water line to prevent mildew build up.
For stoves, you should have the gas line turned off carefully with the help of our expert movers to avoid complications once you install them in your new home. You should also prep it by cleaning the racks, securing them and having oven racks securely fastened.
Secure Cords, Lids and Appliance Doors
Nearly every major appliance used in your home, such as dryers, washing machines, air conditioners and TVs, all use electricity. You should be wary of their cords and secure them with cable ties or duct tape. You should also have your appliance doors and lids taped by a professional to prevent them from opening inside the moving van.
