Excalibur Moving & Storage offers helpful tips for packing your kitchen for a move.
Preparing Your Appliances for Moving
There are several areas of the kitchen that will need your attention. The largest items will be the appliances and they need to be cleared out, cleaned and ready to move to the new house. The appliances are usually in use until you are ready to move so you need to be prepared to handle them. One is that anything that is in the appliance such as clean dishes or cold food needs to be moved. Then the appliance would need to be cleaned so that it does not have any debris left. The last thing is that appliances will need to be unplugged from the source. This might be a gas line or water line and of course the electricity. This is something that you might want to hire a professional for. Once they are ready they can be covered and loaded on a truck top move to your new house.
Wrap Fragile Kitchen Items
The kitchen might have large and hard to move appliances but it also has some of your most fragile items as well. There are lots of dishes that will need to be moved over to the new house and if they are not packed properly they can become damaged and broken. You want to make sure that your dishes are packed safely and covered with warp or paper. This is so that they are protected and not damaged when you move the boxes.
Pack Pots & Pans Efficiently
The other area of the kitchen that you want to know how to pack is the pots and pans. They are a larger item that are not often sensitive but should be packed together. They can be put in a larger box and secured so that they are not able to move around freely. Be sure to never pack the box so that it is too heavy to move.
