For your move from one place to another to run smoothly, there are a few dos and don’ts that one must adhere to. Although not written rules, they help you to get better organized and also keep you in the loop about what you are expected to do before you move. The first rule in moving is to jump on everything that you have to do and quickly rather than leaving everything back for the last minute. Ensure that most of your boxes are packed in advance as you leave out only those items and clothing that you are readily going to use.

This will save you a world of time when that moving day gets here. Also make sure that you get all your paperwork in order as well as calling your utility companies about two weeks in advance so that they can transfer your services to the new place. Next locate a reputable moving company that could move you to your new home. Choosing the right moving company is a somewhat long process since you are trying to select a company that will assist your every need. It would help if you get a referral from a moving company from a friend or family who has recently moved.

After talking to the moving companies you may decide that it would do your pocket many good if you were to move yourself. Although this may save you some money with the movers it can be a tedious job to undertake in terms of having to pay gas and mileage to get to your new home and not to mention renting a vehicle is also costly. For those moving house without furniture except for a few bean bags and maybe a TV and an airbed, then you don’t need a moving company, you can move yourself to your new place.

Although you may be tempted to leave your old place all messy especially if your landlord has not treated you in a nice manner through the duration of your tenancy, the reality is that in order to get back your security deposit you will need to tidy up the old home. Even if your deposit isn’t promised to you after you move it, it would make good moral sense to tidy up the apt before you leaves. Not only that but it would also reflect good on you and your family as well. No matter what is offered, you should go to your landlord’s office and get a copy of your move-in or move-out inspection form from him.

On this form you will find a list of items that you would need to check off for damages and other things that are currently in the house that was not there when you moved in. Make the walkthrough with the landlord and together itemize the things that needs to be repaired that were damaged while you lived there. Offer to cover the expenses for the repair if you cannot hire someone in time before you move. Remember to move all old foodstuff, milk and juices from the refrigerator before you leave.

You can then use cleaning agents with a rag and clean each shelf in its entirety. Leave an open box of baking soda in the refrigerator to guarantee freshness. Similarly remove stubborn stains from your oven with abrasive products such as Jif and the like. Steel wool products can also remove the stubborn stains from your oven as well.

Sweep and mop the floor as well as clean all tidy up all the sinks in the house. Cabinets are also susceptible to stains and they can easily be removed with a multi-purpose cleaner and a sponge. Surfaces like the kitchen counter tops and the sink top in the bathroom should also get some cleaning done to them.

It looks like we are having an unusually strong winter moving season this year. Our trucks are still running and we’re moving morfe people than ever for this time of year. I’m not certain if it has more to do with people spreading out their moves into different times of the year or if there are more people fleeing the cold nothern winters this year.

We actually brought on an additional work crew to keep up with the pace of things as we normally let 3 of 5 teams take the winter months off. This year we have 3 full crews and some back up bodies loading and unloading a lot of household goods in the cold. Moving folks during winter time is a mess most of the time but things are actually going very smoothly for us and the crews are glad to see the extra business over the holiday season.

Keeping up with the moving business is a trick but Affordable Moving is doing well this winter thanks to great clients like you.
