Five Household items that need special care when moving home in Greater Toronto area

It can be a fun experience to move home. It’s a new start, one that allows you to build a better life. And it’s something that many Canadians are deciding to do, and especially who are living in the Greater Toronto Area(GTA) at this moment. Right now, many people are deciding to move home following the end (or the near-end) of the Coronavirus pandemic, and there are also many students who are moving out for the first time to go to college. Plus, summer is just a popular time to move anyway!

However, while moving home nearly always turns out to be the right move, it won’t automatically be a smooth process. You have to transport all your goods to your new place first! And this can be a little tricky, especially when it comes to those household items that are a little more difficult to move. In this blog, we’re going to run through some of the top household items that will require a little bit of extra care when you’re moving home.

Your Houseplants

You’ll want to ensure that all living things make it to your new home in one piece! And this includes your houseplants. There’s a lot of value in having plants in your home, and if you’ve kept your plants for a long time, then you’ll want to take them with you. But of course, this can be something of an operation, especially if you have a lot of plants. One option is to hand your plants to a friend for a little while. Once you’ve moved all of your belongings, you can slowly begin moving your houseplants from your friends’ place to your new home.

Antiques and Works of Art

There are some things you’ll move to your new home because it provides a functional purpose. Others you’ll move because they enhance your life in one way or another. This will be the case with your antiques and works of art. You’ll want to take them with you to brighten up your new place! But of course, it’s likely that these items are pretty fragile, which makes it more likely that they’ll be damaged during transit than other items. If you’re moving things yourself, then be sure to wrap things up securely beforehand. In many cases, it’ll be best to leave this task to a professional moving company, however, especially if the items are of high value.

Glass Items

There are some items that are just prone to breaking more than others. If you’ve got some nice glass pieces in your home, then you’ll need to take extra care to ensure that they make it to your new property in one piece. This applies to chinaware as well as glass. In many cases, these items will have been in your family for many years. They’re not easily replaceable because they have so much sentimental value. Take extra care — which includes using plenty of packaging and so forth — when moving these items.

Bulky Furniture

Large items can often be just as troublesome as fragile items. That’s because they’re difficult to move, which means that it’s more likely that you’ll have an accident and cause damage to the item. With these items, it’s usually best to leave them to the professionals because they’ll have experience in moving these items safely and securely. It’s usually only when we try to move these goods ourselves that we realise just how awkward they are to move!

High-Value Goods

There are some things that you may not feel overly attached to but which are of high value, which means you want to ensure that they’re kept safe and secure during transit. An example would be your TV. This is something that you could replace relatively easily, but you’d have to part with a lot of money in order to do so. Plus, the cost of buying a property is extensive, so you really won’t want to spend any more money than is absolutely necessary. If there’s anything in your home where you feel the pinch if you had to pay to replace things, then be sure to take extra care.

Conclusion

All in all, it’s important that you work hard to ensure that your valuable goods aren’t damaged (or even destroyed) during the moving process. If you have any doubts about moving the items yourself, look at working with a company that specialises in moving equipment and supplies. You’ll find that they have the expertise and experience needed to make sure that all your items turn up at your new place in one piece.
