Tips to Make Gainesville Moving Quicker
Let’s face it, no one enjoys packing, it is monotonous, time consuming and hurts your back. However, it is a task that must be completed one way or another. If you have to do it, you might as well look for ways to make the Florida moving process as seamless as possible. Here are a couple tricks that might speed things up a bit.
Utilize Towels and Sheets
Your linen will need to be packed anyway, so why not use them to protect your fragile items? Wrap vases and other breakables in these large pieces of fabric to keep them from breaking during the move. Not only will these items be protected, but you will save space by not needing to pack them separately. Additionally, it is environmentally friendly because you will not need to acquire as many other packing materials.
Color Code Boxes
When you are unloading boxes at your new residence, it can be confusing to figure out where each box goes. If you write the name of the room in a permanent marker, it can be difficult to find and read the label as you are carrying heavy boxes. Instead, color your boxes different colors according to their corresponding room. You can even use a variety of different colored packing tape to make the label more obvious in order to speed up the Gainesville moving process.
Pack Plates, Mirrors & Artwork Vertically
Traditionally, when we attempt to pack plates and other valuables, we stack them just like we do it in the cupboard. However, they are stronger and more stable if they remain vertical. Wrap objects like plates, mirrors and artwork and then place them in a large box so they are able to stand up. For mirrors and pieces of art, consider wrapping them in packing paper just as you would a present for superior coverage and support.
Keep Clothing on Hangers
It is quite time consuming to remove all of your clothing from their hangers, organize them in a box, pack the hangers separately and then rehang all of your clothing when you get to your new home. However, there is a much simpler method. Simply tie a group of hangers together with the clothing still on them. Then use plastic wrap or a garbage bag to secure all of the clothing, which your Florida movers will then be able to easily load into the truck. When you are unpacking, you can simply put the hangers in your closet and remove the plastic.
Use Soap to Fill in Holes
If you have several holes in your walls, but do not want to make the extra trip to the store for spackle, use household products. Take plain, white bar soap and scrub it over the holes in your walls. They will become filled quickly without the need for an unnecessary purchase.
