TIPS FOR HASSLE FREE MOVING
HOW TO 
Tags:
Moving out of a house can be emotionally and physically taxing. By following simple packing rules, it can be made a lot simpler.
| | # For cardboard cartons, use a broad cello tape that will hold all the corners and the separated portions. In case of weight, the cartons will not open up by force. |
| | # Use curtains to cushion the base of the boxes before placing other items and to cushion photo frames and fragile items in between. |
| | # Label each box as 1, 2, 3 or a, b, c. Write down in a notebook what each number or alphabet stands for. When you shift to a new house, you will know exactly what box contains what item. |
| | # Use small boxes (such as chocolate tin boxes) to keep all the screws and bolts of your electronics/furniture while dismantling. |
| | # Tape loose cords, wires and cables separately, place them in separate packs and label them. This will help at the time of re-opening. |
| | # Ensure all your electronics are cushioned with thermocol. Usually this material is provided in all electronic packages. |
| | # Empty your fridge and clean it thoroughly 24 hours before packing. |
| | # Bubble wrap each crockery item. Use newspapers as an alternative if bubble wrap is not available. |
| | # For packing books in a carton, throw in some naphthalene balls. Sprinkle talcum powder between the pages to help absorb moisture and prevent the books from getting musty and smelly. |
| | # Seal all the shampoos, medicines and cooking oil bottles to prevent leaking. |
| | # Pack medicines separately, though it’s wise to carry a medicine kit along with you. |
