Moving household appliances
Appliances need to be individually wrapped and protected so that they are not damaged and can be moved efficiently. Now we will have a look at the best ways to do this.
Small domestic appliances
Smaller appliances such as toasters and blenders can be wrapped in bubble wrap after they have been cleaned and dried. They can also be placed in boxes with the rest of the kitchen utensils.
Microwaves
The microwave should be unplugged in advance so that it can rest. The first thing you should do to store it, is to remove the turntable and its stand and wrap it in something to protect it.
The cable should also be stored carefully so that it does not get tangled. Finally, it is best to place the microwave in a padded box.
Fridge
When storing the refrigerator, it is necessary to defrost it a day before and let the motor cool down completely. In this way, it will weigh less and the chances of damage are reduced. The shelves and trays inside the refrigerator can be fixed with tape. If they are removable, you can wrap them with bubble wrap.
Then you should cover the fridge with some sturdy material to protect it from scratches or knocks, such as a blanket or quality packaging. This way it will be well protected for the move.
Washing Machine
Washing machines, as well as other appliances that interact with water, should be checked beforehand. Make sure they are completely dry and that the pipes and hoses are empty. Both the hose and the cable should be fixed with adhesive tape so that they are not damaged during the move. It is also recommended to wrap the washing machine in some material to protect it.
Dish Washer
Dishwashers are another appliance that is in constant contact with water. It must, like the washing machine, be completely emptied. Once it has been emptied, the light cable and hose are attached to the back of the dishwasher. It is then covered in the same way as the refrigerator and washing machine with a cloth and bubble wrap.
TV
The TV set has to be disconnected first. The cables are stored in a plastic bag or similar. Then it has to be covered with a soft material like a cloth to be wrapped in bubble wrap. This gives it extra protection.
