Residential Movers Mesa, AZ How to Pack a Kitchen for a Residential Move

When it comes to packing your kitchen for a residential move, Dose Moving & Storage recommends prioritizing the essentials like pots, pans, and utensils. After that, you can focus on the non-essential items.

To ensure your fragile items arrive safely, use specialized packing materials. For instance, use China Boxes for glassware and fine china. Wrap each piece individually in Bubble Wrap to prevent breakage.

When packing utensils, wrap them in high-quality paper, grouping similar items together. This will prevent scratching and tangling. Be sure to pack them carefully to avoid any unnecessary stress.

By following these steps, you'll guarantee a safe and efficient move with Dose Moving & Storage.

 

Essentials First, Fragiles Last

When you're packing up your kitchen for a residential move with Dose Moving & Storage, it's essential to prioritize your items strategically to ensure a smooth transition and minimize damage. Start by packing the essentials, like pots, pans, and utensils, so you can unpack them first and get cooking right away.

Next, focus on non-essential items, such as special occasion dishes and decorative pieces.

A clear labeling strategy is crucial in this process. Be sure to label each box with its contents and the room it belongs in, and consider color-coding boxes by room to make unpacking a breeze.

 

Protect Glassware and Fine China

When moving, packing glassware and fine china requires extra care to prevent breakage. At Dose Moving & Storage, we recommend using specialized packing materials, like China Boxes, specifically designed to cushion and protect fragile items.

Wrap each piece individually in Bubble Wrap, making sure to cover all surfaces, including handles and stems. This will give them an extra layer of protection. Place the wrapped items in the China Box, filling any empty spaces with packing paper or paper towels to prevent them from shifting during transit. Don't overcrowd the box, as this can increase the risk of breakage.

By taking these precautions, you can ensure your glassware and fine china arrive at their new destination unscathed.

At Dose Moving & Storage, we've got the expertise to help you pack and move your fragile items with confidence.

 

Wrap Utensils in Paper

When packing for a move, it's easy to overlook utensils, but they need special care to prevent scratching and tangling during transit. At Dose Moving & Storage, we recommend categorizing utensils into groups, such as forks, knives, and spoons, to ensure they arrive safely at their new destination.

Next, wrap each group individually in high-quality paper, making sure it's snug to prevent movement during transit. Don't use low-quality paper that can tear or rip, causing utensils to become damaged or disorganized. Instead, choose sturdy paper that can withstand the rigors of moving.

By wrapping utensils carefully and categorizing them by type, you can ensure they arrive in the same condition they left in.

With Dose Moving & Storage, you can trust that your utensils will be handled with care and arrive at their new home safely.

 

 

Secure Heavy Appliances First

When it comes to packing your kitchen, heavy appliances like refrigerators and stoves require extra care to prevent damage and ensure a smooth move. That's why Dose Moving & Storage recommends tackling them next.

To secure these heavy appliances, start by unplugging and disconnecting them from power sources and water supply lines. Then, carefully move them away from walls and corners to prevent scratching or dents during transit. Consider their placement in the moving truck to ensure they're safely positioned and secure.

If necessary, disassemble any furniture, such as removing shelves or handles, to facilitate a smoother move.
