We all know that moving isn’t the most relaxing time in our lives. At BMS Transport, we help as much as we can by making this process as stress-free as possible. Here are some tips for you help:

Packing your Clothes

• Don’t fold your clothes. Roll them up and stack them into boxes.
• Use shower caps to pack your shoes.
• Place small objects in your shoes to maximise space gain.
• Use vacuum seal bags and compress them with your out of season clothes inside. It also makes them easy to recognise to put them away when unpacking.
• Use any bedding, towels, blankets, curtains and linens for wrapping and padding your furniture and small items.

Packing your Jewellery

• To keep your necklaces from tangling, place them in between two sheets of plastic air and remove the air bubbles.
• Pack earrings by clipping them to button holes on a button.
• Place your jewellery and small valuables in a standalone bag and keep them with you for safe keeping.
• Refrain from packing them with your clothes.
• Store earrings and rings in pill cases. You can also use other small containers and even egg cartons.

Packing your Furniture

• Place towels under furniture that have no legs. This makes it easier to move the furniture about, especially if it’s heavy.
• If the furniture does have legs, wrap them with a few layers of newspaper and duct tape. This makes the furniture easier to move around as well as protects your floors from being scratched.
• Unscrew any handles that stick out to avoid them snapping off or scratching any walls.
• Wrap chest of drawers in plastic wrap. Secure the wrap with a couple of loops of duct tape to ensure the wrap stays intact.
• Keep your mattress clean by placing two sheets either side. You can then place the sheets in the washing machine so they are clean again
