Moving to a new home creates a lot of excitement and excitement in people, who want to get to the new home soon and organize their belongings, leaving the look of the house or apartment their own way.
Positive news usually brings renewed spirits. However, if the travel service is not well planned and taken care of, rather than lively, the newcomers can gain a tremendous headache.
The furniture is usually the most affected items, being able to suffer scratches and breaks, and even lose parts dismantled in the middle of the way. To get away from this kind of situation, be sure to check out the five tips we have for you!
01. Do not try to remove the heavy furniture alone
It is common for people to have, in addition to the traditional zeal, a certain jealousy with rare and more expensive objects, such as great works of art, pianos, large vases, pieces of marble, among other articles and furniture of this category.
However, due to the excessive weight, the employees of the contracted company should be allowed to transport and take care of the process. The important thing is to check, before hiring, if the team is qualified for the handling and packaging of more delicate and fragile furniture.
02. Use bubble wrap
This material is one of the best options so that furniture is protected from contact with other objects not only during transportation on the moving vehicle, but also when it is placed and removed from the truck. A qualified carrier should bring enough bubble wrap to your home in order to wrap the fragile items. Depending on the type of furniture, cardboard and newspapers. Adhesive tapes may also be used.
03. Call who made the furniture tailor-made to disassemble them
Even if they look simple to disassemble, custom-made furniture should preferably be handled by the person who made them. After all, it is this professional who will have the proper knowledge to undo and then remount the parts of the object, so that the furniture is well maintained for use in the new home.
04. Do not move your furniture on the floor
As for conventional furniture, company professionals should also be trained to properly disassemble and pack shelving, beds and modular sofas, for example. This means that whoever hired the service does not need to push or drag the furniture on the floor, but leave the work to be done in the right way by the carrier’s staff.
05. Separate the furniture according to the environment
Try to gather as small as possible your small objects of decoration and furniture of smaller size in boxes, in order to separate them according to the environment. Here, bubble wrap can also be used to protect delicate items. Also write the name of the destination room of each one on the boxes. Separating the items will help in the organization of the new house, allowing less movement of objects and, thus, reducing the risk of falls, latches and breakdowns.
