Wooden furnishings have an excellent appearance and instantly add a finer touch to the environment of any household. However as good looking as they are, wooden furniture is a nightmare when it comes to relocations because the wooden surface of the furnishings can get easily damaged. If you are about to move from one place to another and you have top quality wooden furniture that you want to take with you, keep reading because we will turn your attention on a step by step tutorial that will allow you to property pack your furnishings.
Step 1: Begin by making a list on the things that you must do. This way you will be able to more easily determine how much packing supplies you will need and how much time you will need to prep your wooden furniture for the relocation.
Step 2: Head to your local super market or home depot and stock up with all the packing materials that you will need. Always make sure that you buy a little more than what you need so that you can have back-up in the case that a packing material turns up faulty or ruptures.
Step 3: Before you commence the packing makes sure that you clean your furnishings. Remove the dust and vacuum the upholstery. Also make sure that you empty your furnishings. And if necessary wax the wooden surface.
Step 4: Now disassemble your bulky and heavy furniture to make them easier to move. For instance you can remove the legs of your tables and chairs, and remove the footboards and headboards of your beds. Once you have dismounted your furniture make sure that you place all screws and bolts in properly labeled plastic bags. You will need the hardware for the reassembly of your wooden furniture.
Step 5: Cover the wooden surfaces with foam. The foam will protect the wood from scratches and bumps and will drastically ease your removal. If you wish you can add a supplementary layer of bubble wrap to protect your furniture.
Step 6: Last cover the floor of the moving van with a soft blank and start carefully loading the furniture in the moving van.
If all this seems too much for you, you can hire a company that provides domestic removals to relocation your wooden furnishings for you. You can find such a company in the removals section of the yellow pages.
As you see there are several ways to relocate safely wooden furniture.
