​

Save space when packing clothing.

Clothing can be one of the most time-consuming elements of packing. The important thing is to save as much space as possible with clothes because excess clothing can take up most of the moving truck if you’re not careful.

Space-saving packing hacks for clothes:

• Pack hanging clothing in garbage bags by cutting a hole on top of the bag then placing the garbage bag over a grouping of hangers.

• Roll clothing instead of folding to save space.

Protect more substantial items like furniture to prevent damage.

Take the extra time to protect larger pieces of furniture before you move. Remove and secure all drawers and doors beforehand. Also, if you can’t gather up a bunch of friends to help with the move, consider hiring professionals like Get It N Go Movers. Insure to rap all of the furniture to prevent them from getting damaged. 



Invest in quality moving boxes.

One mistake a lot of people make when moving is trying to cram all of their belongings into a few cardboard boxes they have around the house. Use as many boxes as you need to create easy-to-lift loads. Get It N Go Movers provides different services, including provided quality moving boxes. Remember, when you load up the truck, you will need lightweight and heavier boxes, so keep an eye on your box weight. It is a good rule of thumb to keep your largest boxes to no more than 50 pounds.
