When it comes to packing for a move, there is a big difference between packing up kitchenware, books, and other smaller objects and packing up furniture. The idea of moving sofas, beds, and other heavy objects may seem like a daunting task, but for homeowners who utilize the professional expertise and moving services from the professional movers at Checkmate Moving & Storage in Highlands Ranch, the whole endeavor will be made easier. Check out a couple of these invaluable furniture packing tips from the team.

Before moving anything, make sure the furniture is totally cleaned. It's not a wise idea to bring dusty, dirty furniture into a new home. That only creates more stress and cleaning later on. Additionally, don't forget to empty out large pieces of furniture such as desks and drawers. Lightening these furniture pieces will make transporting them less backbreaking.

Some furniture pieces such as certain tables or desks are able to be disassembled. Doing this will lighten the load and create more space when moving. Don't forget to stay organized and keep any loose bolts sealed in individual bags. Also, for added protection, have all the disassembled material wrapped in a bubble wrap or other protective layer to prevent scratches and other damage. It is also beneficial to consult with professionals such as those at Checkmate Moving & Storage about other protective measures for furniture.
