Tips on moving

3.Clean and Prep the Stove

You need to remove the racks of the stove and clean the stove properly from the inside out. Make sure that you have turned off the gas in the gas stove before you start to disconnect the line.

4. Empty the Dishwasher

It is necessary to empty your dishwasher. You have to remove the racks and holders for utensils and pack them separately. The important step to take is to clean the dishwasher properly.

5. Prepare the Washer and Dryer

The washer and the dryer need extra gentle handling. It is more preferable to get in touch with the manufacturer. Before disconnecting and starting to prepare for your move  Disconnect all the hoses and keep them separate. You can either pack them in a box or keep them in the cavity of the washer and dryer to be safe. You need to secure your washer in a drum so that there is no damage caused during the move.

6. Secure Cords

Another thing you need to do is to unplug all the units for all the appliances and secure the cords on their backs with packing tape. This will help them to stay safe and untangled during your move.

7. Pack Up

If you are packing all the appliances now then you can use them to pack other items as well. You can use the oven to pack small and lightweight items. Refrigerators, washers, dryers can be used to pack blankets, linens, clothes, stuffed animals, etc. This will save you some space and boxes and will eventually save some bucks on a moving budget. Use empty garbage bags to fill them first and then put them in the empty spaces. Then all you have to do is tape up the doors so that nothing falls off from the appliances.
