We all know moving house takes a lot of time and it is very obvious. It is because, at the new destination, we will be using the same items. And their best condition is must so that we can use them again. If you need to move only simple belongings from your home, it will get done quickly from beginning to end. But the situation gets changed when you need to move high-valued possessions. It demands gentle packing and proper caring. Relocation of fragile items makes an individual tired and troubled.
So what are the best practices to ensure the safe and reliable relocation of fragile items? Here we are describing the right way to pack your high valued possessions so that you get your belongings in the best condition.
Glasses
The more fragile object during relocation is glass objects. Glasswares are very fragile and prone to damage during transit. Thus you have to be careful while packing them. For starting the packing of glass and glassware, you will require a sturdy and large moving box. You can use newspaper as padding for protecting your valuable goods. Try to wrap each of the pieces individually before placing them in a moving box. If you are short with newspapers, you can use butcher paper. You can also create a protective layering with your old clothes and tea towels. You need to ensure that there should be enough padding between each of the objects. After finishing the packing boxes, you should mark them as ‘fragile glassware’ and ‘this way up. It will also direct others to handle the objects safely.
Artwork
It is not necessary that we will be having Van Gogh paintings on our wall. But still, there would be some pleasure-giving artwork and painting would be there. The artworks are expensive, and unique, and any destruction or damage to them creates an upsetting environment. If you have expensive artwork in your home, then it is recommended that you should get them insured before relocation. For better security, you should use customized boxes. You have to reduce the contact of your belongings with the surface. It ensures that your goods will reach your destination without any damage. Customized boxes ensure the perfect fitting of your objects and restrict their movement.
Pottery and Ceramics
The next item which is prone to damage during relocation is pottery and ceramics. The first thing you should ensure is that it should not be handled or packed in a rush. Sufficient time is required for packing them, and it is necessary too to get them in the desired condition to your new destination. Also, these are the objects that can be packed before the day of moving. So you should pack it before the moving day approaches. Also, you should be full of padding materials such as bubble wrap, rags, and clothing. You should not pack pottery very tightly as it will damage it.
Furniture
Most individuals do not consider furniture as a fragile item. But it is something that demands proper attention and handling while relocation. If you do not offer the desired handling and attention to furniture, it will get damaged and also damage walls and doorways. If your furniture can be dismantled, remove every detachable part before packing. Don’t pack any of the fragile units in a hurry. Also, if your hands and back are not supporting, take a break and then start. Also, no one likes to move heavy belongings up and down. It would be best if you considered hiring professional movers for moving your fragile furniture.
Sports Equipments
This equipment is mainly overlooked and ignored at the time of moving. They also demand the best care that your glassware demands. Golf clubs, gym equipment, sports bikes all should be packed with attention; otherwise, they get damaged easily. If you do have the original packaging of goods, then pack them in those containers. Pack and add proper padding during relocation and follow other instructions mentioned in the user manual.
Plants
Your beloved plant should be transported in the most caring manner. These living objects deserve the best care to reach their new home. You should stop watering the plant for a couple of days as your moving dates approach. It reduces their overall weight and mess. Make use of ties and bugs for protecting the branches and leaves of plants. Try to minimize its weight by removing dead leaves and branches. While packing plants in a box, you should make a hole in the box so that plants can breathe easily.
