Moving can be a costly and stressful process, and with the South African conditions being as they are, packing and organising your kit can be a complex task. But don’t worry, here are a few helpful tips on how to make sure you have everything in order fo your move.
When packing up the kitchen it's important to make sure that the items you’ll need first are the ones you pack last. For items like pots, pans, and dishes use bubble wrap, thick paper, and sheets of old newspaper as a cushion in between items to prevent any damage from the move. It's important to also label every box with its contents so that you know where everything is when it arrives. Make sure to provide extra padding for glassware, and make sure to wrap up knives, forks and other utensils.
Once you’re packed the majority of your kitchen items for the move, organise them in groups such as crockery and cutlery, pots and pans, and coffee-making equipment to make unpacking easier. Pack items that you won’t need right away into plastic tubs that are easier to transport, label them with permanent markers and place them out of the way. It’s also essential to know the sizes of the items you are packing, as you will need to know just how much space you have when you get to your new home.
It’s always worrying when it comes to packing fragile items, but taking the right steps can help make sure that your items arrive in one piece. Whatever you do, never try to lift up items like appliances and glassware by yourself, as it's incredibly dangerous. Get friends to help, or services such as QikTruck which provide a full furniture removal service across South Africa while also offering man and van services.

One of the main things to remember when moving your kitchen is to cover the surfaces of all items. Not only does the extra layer of protection help keep the kitchen items from being scratched of damaged, but it also ensures that dirt and other particles don’t contaminate the items. Be sure to keep all the items from being airborne during the move, this will prevent them from breaking or being damaged.
