Cleaning Appliances

Unfortunately, moving to a new home also means cleaning your old one. It's smart to make a list of all of the different items that need your consideration, like removing mildew and stains on appliances around the house, draining your dishwasher, and disconnecting the washing machine. Be aware that you're responsible for making sure your major appliances are turned off. Movers won't do it for you due to insurance and safety reasons, so be sure to have your stove, washer, fridge, and any other appliance you may have prepared for loading before starting to move.

Back up Your Files

It's recommended that you save and back up the data on your personal computers or PDAs ahead of your move, specially if you use any for work. Bear in mind, severe temperatures can harm your data so be sure to pack and make sure they are secured in a cool place. It's a smart idea that you transport these items yourself instead of leaving them to the moving company.

Dont Forget The Extra Packing Tape

Just because you've completed packing your stuff does not mean you won't need additional packing tape. It's not rare for relocation experts to ask you to tape over one of your boxes because it wasn't properly packed. These are genuine signs of a moving company that cares about your items. Something to remember: if you do not have any additional packing tape left over on the day you move, your mover may charge more for a roll than a you might think. It's like buying a bottle of soda at an amusement park. Be sure to ask them about any extra costs before you move.
