Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Should I use bubble cushion or moving blankets for protecting furniture?

A: Use moving blankets for large pieces of furniture, like couches, dressers, tables and appliances. For more delicate items, like fragile surfaces and mirrors, wrap them in Bubble Wrap or bubble cushion first, then use a moving blanket for extra protection. Bubble cushion is also useful for covering sharp corners.

Q: When should I use stretch wrap for securing items while moving? 

A: Stretch wrap can be used for a few different things when moving, including keeping drawers and doors closed on furniture like dressers and nightstands, holding moving blankets in place, and bundling loose items. You can also use it to protect upholstered furniture and to stabilize stacked boxes and other items. 

Q: What are hand trucks and dollies used for during a move? 

A: It’s easier and faster to move heavy and bulky items with hand trucks and dollies. Hand trucks are L-shaped carts with two wheels and are typically best for moving things like stacked boxes or tall furniture. Dollies typically feature a flat platform on four wheels. You can use dollies for moving items like couches, tables and dressers. Keep things stable by securing the items with straps or stretch wrap. 

Q: What basic home tools and cleaning supplies are essential for a new home? 

A: Having basic home tools, such as a hammer, screwdriver set with a Phillips head and flathead screwdriver, cordless drill, tape measure, and stud finder, can help with quick fixes and simple projects, like hanging pictures. Items like nails, screws, duct tape, flashlights, step ladders, work gloves and a fire extinguisher are also good to have on hand. Some useful cleaning supplies for a new home include an all-purpose cleaner, paper towels, disinfecting wipes or spray, a broom and dustpan, vacuum and mop, as well as a bucket and floor cleaner. You’ll also want to have things like dish soap and trash bags, laundry detergent, toilet paper, and light bulbs readily available.
