Labels<\/h3>\n

Use labels or a bold marker to label boxes:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Note the room<\/strong> – Kitchen, Bed 2<\/li>\n
  2. Note the items<\/strong> – Fine china, lounge cushions, books<\/li>\n
  3. Note any specific information<\/strong> – Fragile, Keep upright, Heavy<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Protection<\/h3>\n

    Where possible, use your soft items to protect valuables. This saves you money on packing materials and helps our environment.<\/p>\n

    Be sure to protect your precious valuables as well – use bubble wrap and packaging paper where appropriate. Avoid plastic wrap as it can trap moisture; there are great cardboard alternatives at most hardware stores.<\/p>\n

    Moving hacks<\/h3>\n

    Take clothes off the hanger, fold them over and pack them into suitcases or a sheet.<\/p>\n

    Storing long term?<\/h3>\n

    Do you have something you know you’ll need pretty soon? Will other things not be touched for years? Organise accordingly, tell RooMoverRoo which items you need easy access to, and label the box with this information. That way we can keep it at the front of the pile for you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
