Pack your kitchen like a pro, or get free quotes on hiring a pro, with this new guide from Movers.com. It explains step-by-step how to pack up your appliances, or how to get free, no-obligation estimates from top-rated local moving companies.
Have you ever tried to pack up your kitchen appliances in boxes?
It looks easy... right?
That's what I thought, until I got started, and realized that every single one of them is a funny shape, that doesn't fit nicely in a box.
Worse than that, lots of them have breakable parts, attachments, and gadgets, that make everything more complicated.
I'm not just trying to bring you down though - I just want you to know: I've tried, and it's tough.
That's why I started digging around online, and eventually found Movers.com - which, if you haven't heard of, might just blow your mind.
It's a free online resource that's packed with tools to help make your move easier. For example, I found this fantastic guide to packing up kitchen appliances (click here to read it right now) that explains everything, step-by-step.
Pretty cool, right? Well, it gets so much better.
They have guides like this for just about everything, from how to save money renting a moving truck, to how to move your couch without getting it stuck in a doorway. If it's something you might have to do during a move, they have a guide for it.
What if you're not a DIY'er though, does that mean Movers.com is useless to you?
Ha! Not even close, in fact, it can still help you save tons of money while making sure you get the best local movers - but I'll tell you more about that later. First, let me talk about this appliance-packing guide for a minute.
Before you even begin the packing process, the guide suggests completing a thorough deep clean of all your kitchen appliances. This is important information because first of all, you want to set up a nice clean kitchen when you get to your new home, not start off by having to clean your appliances. More than that though, it will also make sure there's no cross-contamination happening during the packing and moving process.
Once all your appliances are both clean and dry, Movers.com specialists suggest that you should remove all attachments. Release your connection to worldly possessions and... no, no, wait - I'm getting my guides confused, that's for achieving enlightenment.
You should remove all of the attachments for your appliances, that's the one - so that they're easier to pack and less likely to get damaged on the way. You should wrap and pack each attachment separately, but in the same box as the appliance it belongs to, if possible.
Of course, that brings us to another question - what are you supposed to wrap and pack them in?
The full guide (click here to read it right now) breaks it all down into easy steps and lists all of the materials you'll need. I'm not going to provide all the details here, because, well, they already did.
They even explain how to label your boxes, and include lots of helpful hints for making them easy to move, and easy to find and access in your new home - because you'll probably want at least some of them right away, assuming you plan to cook dinner in your new kitchen.
What if you're not a DIY'er though? I know I mentioned it briefly, earlier in the blog, so let's talk about it.
Movers.com has one final trick up its sleeve, and it's a neat one - to access it, just click the big green "Get Quotes" button on their website.
It's a simple tool that allows them to collect some basic information about your upcoming move, like where you're moving from, moving to, and how much stuff you're taking. You only have to fill out one form, but they'll send the details to 7 of their top-rated, pre-screened local movers.
What you'll get is up to 7 absolutely free quotes, with no obligation, for whatever services you may be looking for. Need some help driving the truck, loading it, unloading it, or all 3? No problem - they can even get you rate estimates for full-service movers, who will pack up your old home, move it, and then even unpack it at the new place.
It literally couldn't be easier.
