Preparing Appliances Before Moving

We know how troublesome moving can be. Appliance moving services in Ottawa make the trouble disappear and help you unpack your dreams.

Tips from Let’s Start Moving to Prepare Your Appliances

• Clean Thoroughly:

In addition to that, remember to (make sure that) the appliance is (entirely) cleaned up. Moreover, this also means more comfort for you, our client, and us, as it is easier to see if any damages have been made previously.

• Read the Manual:

Each machine has its own haloes and pitcher’s circumstances. Take time to read specific guidelines on how to properly position and maneuvering every item.

• Gather Necessary Supplies:

Get all the wrapping supplies like bubble wrap, packing tape, and strong boxes ready for moving.

Appliance Preparation

Now, let’s delve into the specific steps for preparing different appliances

Dishwasher

1. Switch off the power supply of the dishwasher.
2. Put the dishwasher to unload, and while doing so, remove the loose parts or those that can be removed.
3. Try to cut down costs by doing the cleaning yourself.
4. Place thick masking tape across the dishwasher door to keep it from opening during transport.

Washing Machine

1. Volume down the water outlet and remove the hose connections from the port.
2. Wash balanced drums and detergent receptacles.
3. Attach the machine’s door with a moving strap or tape. A moving strap or tape would be something like duct tape.

Clothes Dryer

1. Disconnect the power cord of the dryer from the wall socket.
2. Empty the lint trap and the exhaust tube.
3. Tape the dryer door or ensure access with a moving rope.
4. If the dryer is connected to a gas outlet, seek help from a professional to disconnect it securely.

Stove Top/Range/Oven

1. Depower the stove from its power.
2. Pack up burners and knobs separately to make sure they are safe during moving.
3. Clean the oven correctly, including every shelf and pan under them.
4. If possible, fasten the oven door with tape or an unbreakable strap.

Refrigerator/Freezer

1. After that, empty the refrigerators and freezers the day before your move for at least 24 hours.
2. Clean thoroughly interiorly and exteriorly.
3. Close and seal the doors to avoid the intoxication inside.

Microwave Oven

1. Wipe down the interior and exterior surfaces of the microwave after use.
2. Take out the tonearm and any detached parts.
3. Package parts gently to keep them from becoming broken.
4. Securely attach the microwave door to the body with tape.

Packing your TV

Step 1: Gather supplies

Once you’ve decided to pack a TV, gather the tools you’ll require, starting with the TV box. Similarly, this will be ideal for filling the TV if you have saved the original TV box and packing supplies.

Step 2: Prepare the TV for Packing

• Remove the TV from the wall and TV mount or remove any legs or stand from the body of the TV.
• Collect the accessories into plastic storage bags and label them for the device, then place them together.
• Protect the TV Screen as the screen material is vulnerable to damage from scratches.

Step 3: Pack the TV Securely

Label the top and front of the TV in big letters on the box’s exterior after securely taping it. Additionally, ensure the package is marked “FRAGILE” in multiple locations.
