The team at Two Men and a Truck know all about moving, below are some tips that we have put together that you might find useful when moving. If there is anything that you would like to know about moving you can always call one of our friendly operators. Keep Contact Numbers Close by Make a note of your booking number and have the Two Men and a Truck number with you in case you need to contact the office. Keep linen and towels handy Allocate one drawer of a dresser for sheets and towels so that you won't have to rummage through boxes for these essentials the first night in your new home. Clean the fridge After you've thoroughly cleaned and dried the inside of your refrigerator, put a handful of fresh coffee or baking soda in a sock or nylon stocking and place it inside to keep the inside of the fridge smelling good for your new house. Pack Heavy – Pack Light Pack heavy items in small boxes and lighter items in larger boxes. Remember that Two Men and a Truck have all packing materials available as well as a packing and unpacking service. We highly recommend that you pack as much as possible into boxes, this saves time and money for when moving day arrives. The more prepared you are the easier the move will be. Give out your Number Two Men and a Truck will confirm your move the day before, please make sure you give us a telephone number we can contact you on. It is also a good idea to provide an alternate contact in case you can't be reached. Protect Your Memories When packing framed photos or art, place sheets or blankets between them for added protection. Know how to Pack Plates Plates should be packed on end vertically, rather than placed flat and stacked. Pack yourself a Care pack Pack a box with these types of items and take with you in your car for easy access so that you don’t have to worry going to the shop. Toilet paper, telephone and charger, toiletries, snacks, coffee/tea, kettle, soap, torch, screwdriver, pliers, can opener, paper plates, cups, utensils, a couple of pots and pans, canned soup and paper towels. Remove Bulbs Remove bulbs before packing your lamps to avoid any breakages. Put the kids to work Have children write their names and new address on the cartons from their rooms so they can become familiar with their new address. Take care of your pets Keep your pet calm and away from all the activity on moving day by arranging for a friend to watch him or her at their house. Keep You Plants Safe When moving plants to your new residence via your car, try not to let foliage rest against the windows, as the leaves will scorch. Enjoy the Help Leave the rest to Two Men and a Truck, sit back and relax, and look forward to the new opportunities, friends and experiences that are part of any move.
