Packing Kitchen Items Before Your Daytona Beach Movers Arrive

1. Packing Kitchen Items Before Your Daytona Beach Movers Arrive One among the most often dreaded moving job is cleaning out the refrigerator and pantry. But every item from your fridge and freezer must be dealt with before your Daytona Beach movers arrive. Find some tips to get started. There’s plenty to think about and plan for when moving day is approaching, but one project that is often dreaded is cleaning out the refrigerator and pantry. If you cook at home, chances are you have a fridge and a freezer full of miscellaneous food items, not to mention a pantry full of dry goods, that will need to be dealt with before your Daytona Beach movers arrive. Need some help packing your kitchen? Here are some tips to get you started, from soup to nuts. Start from Where the Clutter is Scour through drawers and cupboards that aren’t used on a daily basis. Pack items like your cookbooks, small appliances, special utensils and cutlery that won’t be using before the move. Sort through items and decide what is junk, what can be sold or donated, and what needs to be packed into boxes for your move.

2. Pack Fine China and Fancy Glassware Your fancy glassware and special occasion tableware can be packed ahead of time. Be sure to use a lot of bubble wrap, packing paper and other materials designed for fragile items, so that they don't get damaged or broken during the transit. Organize your Spices and Condiments Check the expiration dates of your spices, special oils, condiments. Chances are if you haven’t touched that jar of nutmeg since two Christmases ago, it’s probably lost most of its flavor and needs to be tossed. After sorting, use a small box to safely store all of your spices and put a small bit of packing paper around any spices in glass jars, so that they don't spill or get mixed up. Prepare Large Appliances If you are moving your refrigerator or other large appliances, check your owner’s manual for instructions or ask the professional moving companies to do it for you. They will want you to prepare them ahead of time by unplugging them, removing any hoses, and taping all doors shut. Pack Your Kitchen Essentials Separately Make sure to set aside a few of the necessary kitchen items that you’ll want to keep on hand right before and right after your move. This may include a plate, a cup, and a set of flatware for every family member, toss in a couple of bowls too. Also, keep out a dish towel, dish soap, a sponge and any appliances (like a coffee maker) which you’ll need handy while you pack. All of these could be packed separately in a kitchen essentials box on the moving before your Daytona Beach movers arrive. Eat what’s in the Fridge and Freezer Unless you are moving locally, you’ll want to get rid of all perishables before moving day. For a local move, you can use a cooler for transporting perishables from the fridge and pantry. However, for a long distance move, you can either toss any perishables before you leave or consider having a dinner party and give guests leftovers to take home, along with any extra condiments and other goodies that you won’t be packing.
