Shelves full of food in glass jars

Moving to a new home is exciting. However, it can also be very stressful. One of the most stress-inducing things about moving is packing. When the time comes to packing your kitchen, you might find yourself anxious. There are many things to consider, such as drawers and appliances. They all come in different shapes and sizes, and it can be difficult to sort it all out. Even though it is a big task, there is a right way to go about it. Read on to find out the best way to pack your kitchen that will save you time and money.

The supplies you will need to pack your kitchen

Before you start to pack, you need to make sure that you have all the necessary supplies. You should gather these supplies a couple of weeks in advance. You will want to avoid running to the store at the last minute. Moreover, you might already have some of these items at home. So, check your inventory before you spend money on things you already have. Here is a list of some packing essentials:

Small and medium-sized boxes
Packing paper
Bubble wrap
Padding and moving blankets
Heavy-duty tape
Newspapers
Cardboard separators
Permanent marker

Decide what to pack

When moving to a new home, it's easy to overpack and end up with clutter. Instead of packing every item in your kitchen, you should decide what you really want to take with you. Open up the drawers and cabinets and empty them out. Throw away anything you find has expired. If you have excess canned food or other non-perishables, you can donate them to your local soup kitchen. Moreover, consider whether your new home comes with appliances. You might find that you won't need your old dishwasher. You can sell it online or donate it to charity as well.

How to pack glasses

Glasses are very fragile and you should pack them with care. First of all, you will need a box with separators. If you can't afford them, you can find these boxes at local liquor stores. They are ideal for packing fragile stemware. Make sure the bottom of the box is taped multiple times. Next, wrap each glass with packing paper. Finally, place a layer of bubble wrap on top of the glasses before closing the box. When you pack glasses for moving, make sure to label the box as 'fragile', so that whoever is handling them knows what's inside.

A new city is always exciting, and you should focus on the advantages of moving. If you are moving to Cape Town, you should think about all the fun places you will visit after you have settled in. Keep in mind that the more positive outlook you have, the less stress you will feel about moving.

Packing cookbooks when you pack your kitchen

When you pack cookbooks, you need to take their weight into account. Pack them in smaller rather than larger boxes. Only pack 2 to 3 books per box, to prevent the bottom of the box breaking. Moreover, you should lay them flat instead of keeping them vertical. This will protect their spines and keep them from tearing. When you pack your kitchen, wrap each book in bubble wrap. Fill any extra space with old clothes or rags. Finally, make sure you don't place the boxes with cookbooks on top of any fragile box.

 Before any move, you should declutter each room. This will not only save you time on packing, but it will also save you money on the move. Even when planning on moving to another country, the more items you discard, the more money you will end up saving in the end. So, don't be afraid to let go of the clutter and things that only weigh you down.

Pack an essentials box

The days right before the move can be quite hectic. To save yourself the trouble of rummaging through boxes in search of a fork, make sure to pack a box with items you plan on using during and a few days after the move. This box should contain plates and utensils for two meals for each person in your household. You should also pack a few dish towels, one medium-sized pot, some napkins and appliances you use every day, such as the toaster or coffeemaker. Furthermore, don't forget to have soap and other dish cleaners handy when you pack.

Moving can be really difficult, without the proper help. Even if you don't have many items, you should hire professional movers for the job. There are companies which can help you if you are only moving one room or a part of your home. Just remember to always hire a reliable moving company to avoid scams.

Packing silverware for furniture removal

Silverware comes in boxes which already have separators in them. These are ideal when packing for a move. Check to see if you still have the original packaging for your utensils. If this is not the case, there is another way. First, sort your silverware by type. Next, separate all the spoons, forks, and knives. Take a strong rubber band and tie it around each group of utensils. Finally, place these bundles into a shoebox. If the box has empty spaces, fill them with crumpled newspapers. This will prevent the silverware from sliding around during transport.

Moving your valuables can be stressful, and you need to find movers you can trust to handle these fragile items. If you live in the Johannesburg area, you can hire a local moving company for the job and know that you are in the right hands. Nothing helps you relieve the anxiety of moving more than the knowledge that your belongings are taken care of properly.

Preparing appliances when you pack your kitchen

A couple of days before you start packing, make sure to disconnect and clean all your kitchen appliances. Remove any detachable parts and wash them. Make sure to dry any part you wash thoroughly, so as not to damage any electronics. After that, you can pack your appliances into their original packaging. If you can't find it, you can use a regular box of the same or similar size. Wrap any removable parts in bubble pack or packing paper and pack them separately. Place newspapers or bubble wrap at the bottom of the box before placing the appliance in it. You should also place in on the sides of the box. Additionally, it will be useful to tape the instruction manual to the inside of the box. That way, you will know how to reassemble the appliance in your new home.
