Most of the people who move are so overcome by the hassles in packing that they take it for granted the need to protect the floors, walls, banisters, corners, and corners of their new home in preparation for the moving day. Since these parts of your new home are very vulnerable and prone to being scratched and damaged while moving in, Movers La Canada Flintridge stress that protecting them is necessary as this makes the moving faster and easier.
You will basically need the following materials to protect your floors, walls, banisters, corners, and carpets for moving:
Medium to large size boxes (used or unused), or cardboards if available
Box cutter
Packing tapes
Packing blankets and drop cloths
Corner guards
Adhesive carpet runners
Protecting the floors
Carefully cut down one side of the boxes, flatten and begin placing them from the entrance of the home to the pathways that will be subject to the bulk of traffic during the moving process. This is very essential in protecting the fine finished wood and tile floors of your new home. Secure the flattened boxes using packing tapes so that they won't slide around when the Movers La Canada Flintridge go to and fro.
Protecting the walls
Check for walls that will most likely be exposed or endangered of being scratched in the whole moving process. Protect them with flattened boxes, packing blankets or drop cloths by simply taping them up to those areas.
Protecting the banisters
Wrap the banisters with clean packing blankets and secure them with packing tapes. Note that you must tape only on the blanket and not directly onto the banister. Tapes usually leave gummy residues or could strip away the fine coating of the banister.
Protecting the corners
Protect corners that will most likely receive high traffic using corner guards. These things are very easy to install. Just follow the manufacturer's directions and everything will be alright.
Protecting the carpets
Use carpet runners to protect the carpets on the moving day. Carpet runners are basically huge pieces of tapes that you can stick onto the carpets to make a walkway for the Movers La Canada Flintridge.
