How to Keep Your New Home Clean And Organized After A Move?

So, you have moved into your new house and you’re ready to make it look and feel like home, right? Well, it will take time because there are so many things you need to do to settle as fast as possible. Most importantly, you have to ensure that while you follow all the steps and tips mentioned in this post, you also make the experience as stress-free as possible. How can you do it? Let’s find out! 7 Ways to Keep Your New Home Organized After a Move 1.  Start with Organizing Everything  You have got to pack everything at your old house in the most efficient manner possible. We have a ton of content around that so don’t hesitate to go through them. Declutter your house before you pack and ensure everything is organized from the get-go. Organizing your new home begins right from your old home. 2.  New Place Do Requires a Deep Clean A deep clean is necessary at your new home. And the good thing is that you have an empty house to clean. Get the carpet cleaned. Shampoo it before you have furniture placed inside. Mop the floors and ensure that all-important cleaning supplies are at disposal. Get the dirt out of the shelves, cabinets, and drawers. We highly recommend hiring a deep-cleaning service before you enter your new home. Either way, it’s a great feeling to enter a clean home. 3.  Grab the Must-Have Boxes The must-have boxes should be dealt with first. This is the box that has all the items that you will need to make the unpacking more comfortable. These are the items that you will need in the first few days at your new home. The essential box should be loaded last so that it is easily accessible. Now that you have got it, take the stuff out and get ready to organize your home. 4.  Keep Boxes in Designated Rooms If you have been following our tips, we always tell our readers to box the items and label the boxes so that everyone knows which box goes in which room. Make a list of all the available spaces/rooms in your new home and pack your stuff accordingly at the old home. Once the boxes keep coming, place them in the right correct room. 5.  Get the Furniture Sorted We hope the carpets and rugs are all clean and looking fresh. Place them in the rooms before you start placing the furniture. Once set, start placing the beds, dressers, couches, and other furniture where you want them. If you have disassembled the furniture, you will have to use the items in your essential box to assemble. This is probably the biggest job in organizing your new home. 6.  Now Unpack the Boxes Once all the above is done, you can go on and unpack the boxes. Take your time to fix where you want the items to go. Ensure that the rooms are clean before you start organizing them. 7. Put in Order One Room a Day Lastly, don’t get worked up! Create your schedule to organize the new home and get things done accordingly. Why not put one room in order for a day? Start with the most important rooms like the bathroom, kitchen, and then move on to rooms that have less priority. Wrapping Up Getting your new home organized might take time. So, don’t lose your cool over it. Rather than trying to get things organized hastily, try to make a consistent effort and do it right. After all, you are not going to move into that house again, right? Need help getting your new home sorted? Connect with us today!

Home During A Move

How We Protect Your New Home During A Move?

As professional movers, it’s our responsibility to ensure that every item leaves your old home and reaches the new home intact without causing any damage. When it comes to minimizing damage, we have to take care not only of the items that we have to move but also of our client’s houses. Protecting your new home, therefore, becomes one of the top priorities. So, how do we get the job done without damaging your new home? Let’s find out Different Ways We Protect Your New Home During a Move 1.  The Door  Placing a door stopper on the front door of your new home eases our work. Keeping the doorway always open, allows us to move in and out of the house without banging into it. Not only that, it saves us from any extra effort since movers won’t have to set the items down and then open the door every time they had to bring something inside the house. You will also not have to worry about the wind blowing and closing the door while we move the items inside. 2.  Floor Runners Floor runners are the best when it comes to covering walk ways where the movers will walk while bringing stuff inside your new home. They work exceptionally well to protect your floors from any kind of damage. More importantly, it will help the movers improve their grip on the floor. Since the floor runners have a rubber bottom, it easily clings on to any surface and prevents us from slipping or sliding. You must always ask your professional movers to use floor runners when you are leaving your old home and also when taking stuff inside your new home. 3.  Using felt pads on furniture Moving is a great time to install some felt pads on the bottoms of your furniture legs. This is help prevent any marks or scratches on your hardwood floor and keeps them looking like new. Having felt pads will also make it easier for you to move furniture around without causing any damage to the floor. They come in variety of sizes and shapes so be sure to get the right ones which best match the furniture you own. You can have the movers install the felt pads once the furniture are placed in your new home. 4.  Placing Curb Ramps Next up, we have curb ramps attached to the vehicles we use to move your stuff from your old home to your new home. The curb ramps are of various sizes that can be placed outside the new home to make the movement of items more efficient. The ramps make it easier for the movers to load and unload the items from the truck and exert just enough force to get things done. This makes the whole process more productive and takes less time. 5.  Using a Full Assortment of Tools Lastly, all our movers are equipped with a full assortment of various tools that can be used to move, disconnect, or reconnect furniture or any other item that is required to be move. We are experts at taking things apart and then assembling them at the destination. We have drills, ratchet sets, crescent wrenches, screwdrivers, vice grips, and more. Wrapping Up We enjoy what we do. That’s one of the major reasons why we have customers that stay connected with us and get us more business. Being an industry leader, we have successfully moved houses without causing even an inch of damage. Want to witness our magic in real life? Connect with us today!

Prepare Your Items For Storage

How to Prepare Your Items For Storage?

Preparation is key to a successful move. We know, from our experience, that moving an entire house can be challenging. But, if you have the right piece of information and the correct techniques, you can easily overcome the challenge. Most of the customers that we have served are often anxious while moving houses. This might be because they are doing it for the first time or just don’t have enough resources to pull it off themselves. However, the most common reason for anxiety is a lack of information. Therefore, we have created this post to help you understand how exactly you can prepare your items for storage and ensure a successful move. These tips are highly effective and are known to get things done efficiently. So, without wasting any more time and energy, let’s get into the content! Tips to Prepare Your Items for Storage 1. Use Shrink wrap  We have seen that the boxes people use to move items often attract moisture and might even pass on the moisture to the items you have packed. This can make the items catch mold and get damaged by the moisture. So, use shrink wrap to wrap the items, mainly furniture, before you put them inside boxes. This will also keep your items safe from scratches. 2. Use Uniform Boxes The boxes you are going to use to pack the items should be uniform in size. This is important if you want to manage space efficiently. Having uniform boxes allows you to stack them easily and create more space for stuff to move. Make sure you put the heavier boxes in the bottom. 3.  Ensure Proper Labeling Don’t forget to label the boxes. Do that not at the very last, but as you pack each box. This is essential because you are going to mention the items you have in the box, the room they are supposed to go to, and if the items are fragile. 4. Pack Books Securely If there’s one thing paper does best, it’s absorbing moisture. And that’s exactly what you don’t want your books to do. Pack your books securely. Especially the spine because if it gets damaged, the pages will give in shortly. So, try to use plastic and throw in silica packets to keep the molds away. 5.  Dealing with Fragile Items Oh, that noise of shattering dishes! You don’t want to hear that. And as professionals, we just can’t afford to get your stuff damaged. We advise you to wrap all your fragile items in bubble wrap or paper to ensure your stuff doesn’t reach the stress-point. Most importantly, place the boxes (well-labeled) towards the middle of a column. 6.  Disassemble if Possible No, don’t try to ship the large items in one piece. Disassemble and make your life easier. If you have to move furniture like bedroom sets, tables, sofas, chairs, and others, just disassemble and when you reach your new home, take your time to assemble. Hire us and we’ll do even that for you! 7. Clean Appliances Before Packing Take out the grease and dirt from the appliances and everything that you are moving. Get rid of bugs and rodents so that you don’t take them to your new home! It is therefore important that you start preparing for the move way in advance. Final Words There you have it. These tips to prepare your items for storage are enough to ensure a great and secure move. As we end this post, we would like to tell you that we are happy to answer all your questions regarding moving your residential or commercial spaces. We would love to help you out!

Pack Clothes for Moving

How to Pack Clothes for Moving?

We know that moving is exhausting. We also know that you don’t have much time that you can dedicate to moving. Therefore, we have come up with some of the most important and productive professional hacks that can help you back the most important item that you use everyday – clothes.  Professional Hacks for Packing Clothes When Moving 1. Make Use of Wardrobe Boxes In case you are looking to pack the Hanging clothing, you should definitely try enclosed boxes. These boxes are quite reliable and can be used to directly store the clothes hanging in your wardrobe. You may also use garment racks in case you have a long distance to travel while moving. It is also a great alternative to the enclosed boxes in case you have a moving truck available to you. 2. Pack the Drawers Most families we have talked to tell us that a lot of their time is spent packing clothes, especially taking them out from the drawers, folding them, and then packing them again. This can prolong the moving process. Therefore, you should leave the clothes in the drawers and seal the drawers the way they are. This technique will work perfectly well if you have hired a professional mover that also has to move your heavy furniture. You can even remove the drawers from the furniture and seal them individually. 3. Don’t Fold Hanging Clothes If you have clothes hanging in your wardrobe, it will take time for you to take them off of the hook and pack them in the boxes. We have a great clothes-packingtip for you in case you are going to move for a short distance. The clothes hanging in your wardrobe can be taken off along with the hanger. You can then tie the hangers together in a group of 5. Cover each group with a protective sheet and then you have the clothes good to go.  4. Packing Seal Off-Season Clothes There can be times when you are packing your off-season clothing for a short period of time. These clothes can take a lot of space which can make it difficult for you to manage other important items while moving. We highly recommend packing them in a way that they get vacuum sealed. This will help you save a lot of space during the move. Clothes do need air circulation but that is important when you are moving over a long distance. 5. Pack Delicates Separately The delicates should be stored separately. This is highly recommended since they can get damaged easily while moving. Not just the delicates, you must also so back your shoes separately with an added layer of protection. Clothes made up of silk and other sensitive fabrics should be packed with great care.  6. Use Small Boxes Most people are tempted to store their clothes as quickly as they can. In this pursuit, they end up storing all their clothes in just one big box. Believe it or not, clothes are heavy. When you store all the pieces of clothes in one box, it will become difficult to carry. Instead of using just one big box, you must go for several smaller boxes and make your packing more organized.  7. Make Use of Luggage Remember how you packed a suitcase full of clothes when you went on the vacation? Well, you can use your luggage to pack clothes while moving. You can make space in your luggage by rolling the clothes and creating small bundles. This can be a great idea to move clothes that you readily require.

Tips Prior to Moving

Best Office Decluttering Tips Prior to Moving

Are you moving your office in the coming months? Well, you have a lot of work cut out for yourself. However, before you go on to list out the things that you will move, it is important that you get rid of things that you don’t need to ensure a well-organized and efficient move. Relocating an office will involve the relocation of your staff, all the important equipment, and enormous information exchange between different departments and your business partners. Therefore, you must try decluttering your office to accelerate the process of moving. In this post, we are going to learn some of the best tips that one should use to declutter an office before moving. Let’s get started! Top Tips for Office Decluttering Before Moving 1. Choose a Storage Space for the Clutter You cannot start decorating your office right away. This is because, as per our experience, once you start decluttering your office, you will run out of space to keep things that you no longer need in your new office. It is, therefore, very important that you have a good plan before you start to declutter. You will come across many documents, items, furniture, and more that you will have to get rid of. Therefore, we highly recommend that you either create a separate storage room at the office or rent a nearby storage unit. Make sure the space is readily available so that you can access the stuff frequently. 2. Declutter One Section At A Time Office decorating might seem like a daunting task that is almost impossible to accomplish. This is mainly due to the fact that you have to go through each and every item in the office. However, there is one way that can help you make the process manageable. You should focus on one section at a time. In other words, instead of decluttering the office as a whole, you must breakdown the task into sections and organize your efforts. Start with one section and make sure the items are well boxed and labeled. 3. Give Every Item A Thought You know that you know how to tackle office decorating, you must ensure that you give each and every item a good thought. There are many instances where companies have followed all the right instructions of an office decluttering process but still ended up with things they don’t need at the new space. This usually happens when companies are trying to rush through the process. The only solution to this problem is to plan your move well in advance so that you have enough time to declutter. 4. Separate Items According to Needs Once you have gone through each and every section, you will start going through one item at a time. This is the part of the process that you will have to give more time Since this is when you will be able to separate things that you need and things that you don’t need. Most importantly, you will have to give utmost importance to the organization. Keep things well organized otherwise decluttering will only end up in a mess. 5. Make Your Staff Get Involved Decluttering is a long process and it is definitely not a one-man job. To ensure that the job is done perfectly and quickly, you must bring your staff on board and give everyone their job to clean out their desk and their particular department. Give them all the resources that they need to pack supplies and clutter their own space. However, give them ample time to do it so that they work don’t suffer. Final Words By now, you have a clear idea of what exactly you have to do to declutter your office while preparing to move. As a last tip, we would like to tell you to not overdo office decluttering. You might be driven by the thought to get rid of everything that you don’t use every day. This very thought can quickly backfire. Therefore, don’t think twice before hiring professional moving experts in your town.

Moving Checklist

A 6-Part Moving-In Day Essentials Checklist

Can we compare MI-Day with D-Day? We guess not. But hey, you do become a ‘moving veteran’ once you get over with your first move. The moving-in day is a challenge of its own. And as one would predict on D-Day, many things don’t go as you expected them to be. The moving-in day is a battle you have got to win. We have the perfect moving-in day checklist to get your name in the list of glorious men and women that won the battle like it was fought in their backyards. Enough with the drama, let’s get started! Complete Moving-In Day Essentials Checklist 1.   Plug & Play Your Bedding When you move into a new house, you must make sure that there is enough space for you to settle down or even take a nap. In other words, you want to have a freshly made bed at your new house. The best way to do that is by packing the bedding and pillows separately in a way that they are easily accessible. Once you are in the new house, it will only take a few minutes to prepare a clean bed that you can crash on. 2. Keep Your Cleaning Supplies Handy Believe it or not, there is a lot of cleaning headed your way. There are chances that you will get an opportunity to clean your new house before moving in. However, if you don’t get that chance, you can always rely on an easily accessible deep cleaning kit. It will help you complete some of the few basic cleaning tasks so that you can place your items without having to worry about dust or dirt. These cleaning supplies usually have sponges, dish soap, paper towels, dust cloths, and toilet paper. 3. Where’s Your Portable Toolkit? Most people don’t start putting their items on the shelf or start hanging pictures on the wall right when they enter the new house. A lot of time is spent on assembling furniture and unpacking the boxes. Question – How do you intend to assemble the furniture? you might hire someone to do that for you or create your own tool kit that will help you get things going without having to wait for someone. 4. Labels and Stationery If you have hired movers that will help you move things to a new house, you want them to have a clear idea of what boxes will go in which rooms. You can do that by labeling the rooms appropriately using paper, pencil/pen, and tape. You can also label the boxes to make it easier for everyone to understand what there is inside the box and where it is supposed to go. 5. Phone Chargers, Power Banks, BT Speakers The moving-in day is quite stressful. We highly recommend you carry a Bluetooth speaker that you can connect with your smartphone. Playing music while you unpack the boxes or assemble the furniture will keep you motivated. But, you don’t want your phone’s battery to drain completely. You can prevent that from happening by carrying power banks and phone charger with you at all times. 6. Ready-to-Eat Beverages and WATER Keep the metabolism going on MI-day. There will be a lot of work to do and naturally, you will lose energy. Since you are still unpacking, you might not have time to unpack the box with all the utensils. However, you can keep moving things steadily just by carrying ready-to-eat food and lots of water. Munch whenever you need a punch of energy. Final Words Believe us, moving houses is a great experience. Maybe not in the heat of the moment, but it definitely is in retrospect. After all, you get to learn about so many things you never knew before. And the best thing is that you are well-equipped to help others.

Save Money During Your Move

Top 10 Tips To Save Money During Your Move

Moving is stressful. After all, there’s so much you have to take care of. Not just that, moving can also burn a hole in your pocket even before you could realize it. This is the reason why we think a few simple ways to save money can come handy during your upcoming move. We have listed the top ten tips that can help you save money during your move. These tips will even help you plan your move to perfection. So, without wasting any more time and money, let’s get started! Top 10 Tips to Save Money During Your Move 1.Go for Leftover Boxes You don’t have to buy new boxes to pack your stuff. You can very much go to your nearest supermarket and ask them if they have any leftover boxes. Believe us, they have plenty of boxes that they are not going to use anymore. 2. Get Your Own Supplies Buying or renting supplies from your moving company can really set your moving budget back by a significant number. If you can use the supplies you already have or can go and buy them from the home depot, don’t even think about paying your moving company for the same. Get your own stuff. 3. Ditch the Bubble Wrap Bubble wraps are highly overrated. You can use your bath towels, clothing, or any soft material that you have that can keep your belongings safe. Not only will it save you a lot of money, but it will also save you a lot of storage space while you are moving. 4. Be Ready or Get Charged If you have decided to pack everything yourself, make sure you are ready and good to go the moment the moving company arrives at your doorstep. The only reason why we recommend it is that moving companies charge by the hour. You can save a lot of money if you keep things ready. 5.Provide Accurate Information One of the most common mistakes people make is they underestimate the number of things they have to move. If you do that, you will end up providing inaccurate information to your moving company. That might increase the cost of your move significantly. 6. Use Your Own Suitcases If you already have suitcases and trolley bags, use them to store your belongings. You can even use laundry baskets for that purpose. This can help you save a lot of space and money.Rent a Truck, Make the Move 7.  Truck, Make the Move If you know how to drive or know someone who has the skill, you can always rent a truck and move your belongings yourself. Although you will have to hire people to load and unload the stuff and pay the labor charges, it will not hurt your budget. 8. Put Your Stuff Outside Don’t wait for the moving company to arrive. Just pick your stuff and put them outside after packing. This will also help you save money as the moving company would have to spend a lot of time in the process. 9. Book Your Move Optimally Don’t book your move when the moving company is extremely busy. You should always book your move mid-month or in the winter if you want to save money. 10. Declutter While You Can Why don’t you earn a little while making the move? If you have stuff that you don’t need, you can always sell them at a garage sale. This is the best time to declutter and you should not let go of this opportunity.  Wrapping Up There you have it. We have shared some of the best tips that you can be using in your upcoming move.
