Tips for Packing a Kitchen

EL PASO – September 23, 2013 - When packing up your home for a move, one of the most important rooms to focus on is the kitchen. Drawers, cupboards and pantries are filled with numerous items, large and small, and many of which are easily broken.

Armour Self Storage, an El Paso affordable storage facility, would like to share the following tips for packing your kitchen before a move:

·         Pack Non-Breakables First. When you begin packing your items for transfer to an El Paso secure storage facility or other location, it is recommended that you pack the non-breakable items into boxes first. Creating a solid base allows you to place the more fragile items on top, so they have less chance of breaking.

·         Breakdown Tables. When moving a dining room or kitchen table, you should break it down as moving it as is involves a high risk of damage. Tape a soft, protective material to the top and bottom of the table surface and wrap the legs with towels or blankets. This will prevent such damage as scratching, cracking or breaking during the move to a new location or while in storage for any period of time at El Paso storage facilities.

·         Keep Silverware Together. The best way to pack silverware is by placing all spoons, forks and knives in the silverware trays you keep in your drawer. It’s easy and is the best way to keep your eating utensils organized. To protect your silverware during your move or while in storage at an El Paso secure storage unit, simply wrap the tray in bubble wrap.

·         Separately Wrap Glassware. Each piece of glassware needs to be wrapped separately in paper. After this task is complete, place wrapped glassware into a box stuffed with bunched up newspaper. Make sure to fill in any holes in the box with paper or other material to keep the glassware from shifting during the move to El Paso storage facilities.

·         Separately Wrap Plates. Like glassware, plates should be wrapped separately as well. Using two pieces of paper, wrap each plate and place into a box lined with newspaper. While it may be instinctual to stack the plates, one after another, you should avoid doing so as it increases chances of damage. Instead, place plates on their sides, filling in any holes with paper to prevent moving while being transported to an El Paso affordable storage unit.

Keeping the above tips in mind will help you to best prepare all of the appliances, dishware, utensils and other items in your kitchen for transit to El Paso storage facilities.
