A Basic Guide to Furniture Removals

If you want to change your address, your house, your neighborhood, city or even country you will need

to make a plan on how this whole action should go. Leaving your old house for a new one is not as

simple as it sounds. Besides the emotional part of leaving a place that has so many memories you will

also have so many things to do. There are contracts to sign and payments to be done, but one of the

most important and hard part is the furniture removal. The furniture and everything it holds makes from

a simple house a worm and cozy home, so you can’t give up on them. Here’s what you have to do when

you want to have a perfect furniture removal process.

Make lists

Keeping an inventory of what goes in the moving truck is always an excellent idea, because no matter

what you do you will have to be organized. This list also helps you to know where every piece of

furniture will go and where to find them. Also, this is the best chance you have to get rid of some of your

old stuff.

Organizing your move

Selecting and organizing the tools you will need for the furniture removal stage of your home relocation

can spare you a lot of time. There are many pieces of furniture that needs to be disassembled, such as:

doors, frames, legs, table tops and so on. You will want to start with the furniture that requires the most

time for disassemble.

Also, you should keep track of the small pieces you just took off from your bed, wardrobe or cabinets, so

put them in tagged bags and if possible, tape those bags to the interior of your pieces of furniture,

because it will be much easier when you need to reassemble it. If you still have the instruction books

that came with the furniture you bought, it’s a great idea to pack that too, because you may do

something wrong when you try to put your furniture back together.

Whether you are in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sydney or Melbourne, nowadays most people prefer to hire

an affordable Brisbane removalist to handle the entire moving process. Generally most reliable and well

established companies will have a complete range of services including packing, un packing and storage

options to help make the move as seamless as possible.

How To Protect Delicate Furniture

If you have some piece of furniture that is really valuable and it can be damaged easy, you can apply wax

on its surface. The wax will get hard and it will protect your antique dining table or baroque night stand

against the scratches and surface damages which can occur during the removal process. There’s special

wax for this job and you can find it at the local hardware store or on the Internet.

Keep Your Furniture Intact During The Transport

The pillows and cushions can come in handy during the removal process. Don’t get them in a separate

transport because they can help you keep your furniture from damaging. All you will have to do will be

to put them into plastic bags and place them in the space between two pieces of furniture when you

load the moving truck. The cushions and pillows will act like bumpers and it will prevent the damage

caused by furniture pieces bumping into each other. For extra protection you can wrap your furniture in

blankets or plastic bubble wrap. Also you will have to secure everything with ropes and duct tape, but

never apply the tape directly on the furniture because the glue from the sticky part of the tape will

damage it.

The Verdict

The removal of your furniture is not rocket science but if it isn’t done right it may upset you. It’s not

pleasant to move into a new house and to have a dining table with a huge scratch right on top of it, just

because you were a little lazy during the removal process. Furniture removal is a great team work

opportunity, because you can’t do it alone.

So gather your friends and family and have a nice time while doing something useful. If you are

organized and determined, you will finish everything in an afternoon and you will still have time for a

last barbeque in your old back yard. Remember, offering a treat to your friends and family for helping

you with the furniture removal is the most important step of the whole process.
