3 Things to Take Care of Before Moving




Packing is done, the best movers in Dallas are hired and your belongings are now loaded on the vehicle. A lot is being said and written about getting the utilities fixed and notifying the concerned authorities about the change of address. Below are some other important things that you need to take care of before you say final goodbye to your home and move to your new apartment –




  • Change the locks – You can never be sure how many tenants lived before you in the apartment in which you are moving or how many still have the keys to the apartment. So the first thing that you need to do is get the locks changed.

  • Get rid of pests – An empty house is the playground for bugs, pests, insects and rodents. Before moving, get the house properly cleaned for any kind of infestation.

  • Get the house cleaned – Empty beer cans, dirty dishes and toilet seats are going to give you the worst welcome you can ever expect. It is therefore necessary to call professional move-in cleaners to get every inch of your house cleaned before you enter inside it.

Moving to a new location can be exciting if you plan it smartly. Keep these pointers in mind and have a peaceful moving experience.

How to Avoid Injuries during a Move?




Moving in itself is highly tedious and the last thing you want is a broken leg or a sprained elbow or neck to make matters worse. In order to ensure that there are no unwanted injuries during the move, here are some important factors to keep in mind –

  • Make sure that all the moving arrangements are taken care of beforehand so that you do not have to focus on different things at a time, making you less susceptible to accidents or injuries.
  • If you have pets or small children, keep them confined in one room so that you do not get distracted by the continuous running or mayhem.
  • Always ensure that there is no liquid such as water, juice or packing glue spillage on the floor and keep the porch and ramp free from any spillage to avoid slips and falls.
  • Always keep a first aid box ready in case there is some injury or emergency.
  • Lift the boxes properly. Do not bend at the waist instead of bending at the knees. Always keep your legs apart and keep a firm grip on the ground when lifting heavy boxes.

When you have so much in mind during a move, injuries can happen anytime. It is therefore advisable to hire professional movers who can take care of all the loading and moving so that you have to take care of the finer details only. Keep these tips in mind and hire the best Dallas movers to remain injury and tension free.

Tips for Moving Your Greens to a New House




Need to relocate to a different city and also want to carry all your favorite plants to that new place in Texas? Here are a few tips that you can use for safe and hassle-free movement of your green friends:

  • Trim or prune the plants at least two or three weeks prior to the move – this helps in preventing any damage to the leaves during the transit.

Silly Mistakes People Make while Moving




While preparing for the big move, people usually do not emphasize on the smaller and finer details, which can later turn into serious issues. Here are some mistakes that people make while moving, which although may seem unimportant but can lead to serious crisis later on –

Driving with an empty gas tank – Okay we agree that you were busy packing the last bits and supervising the loading with Dallas movers, however, you definitely do not want to get stranded on a freeway without gas. It is better to fill your tank a day before so that you do not have to make an unnecessary stop or take a not required u-turn.

Not carrying a bag of essentials – Not carrying a bag of essentials that includes general medicines, a first aid kit, blankets, soap, toilet paper, and snacks can again make you waste some time searching the shelves of a retail outlet.

Ignoring the rush hour – How about getting stuck in the traffic when you should be at your new home making preparations for unpacking? Not a welcome situation and therefore it is wise to plan your move so that you do not have to face the traffic snarls.

Not making staying arrangements beforehand – If your move requires staying overnight, it is essential that you make lodging arrangements beforehand. As millions of Americans move every year and summer is also a good time for tourists, you may find a hard time in finding a place to stay at night.

Keep these smaller things in mind and ensure that you have a safe and smooth move.
