You’ve planned your move: You’ve called your movers in Plano, you’ve prepared your change of address forms, you’ve enrolled your kids in their new school, and you’ve obtained your moving boxes. You’ve purged, cleaned, and packed your bedroom, bathroom, and living room. What’s left? The kitchen! The kitchen is one of the last things you need to pack, and sometimes, the last thing that you want to pack, but your Plano movers are here with some moving tips for kitchen items you haven’t yet have tried to make packing your kitchen before your local Plano moving company arrives:

Safely and Effectively (and EASILY) Packing Plates for Your Move

If by the time you get to your kitchen in your packing frenzy and you’ve now run clean out of newspaper, moving blankets, packing paper, and  bubblewrap, you can use this moving hack that your local Plano movers suggest for easily packing your plates.  Keeping your plates safely packed is as easy as stacking a styrofoam plate in-between a each plate in a stack! By using this moving hack, your plates will remain safe, and once you’re at your new place, you wont have to immediately worry about doing dishes, and can use the styrofoam plates from the stack for your moving day meal.

An Easier Way to Pack Silverware

Sometimes when doing DIY-packing, it’s easy to overlook some of the easiest ways to pack up items. (Your Plano moving company-THATS US!-does offer full service moves, if DIY just isn’t your style!) Packing up your silverware doesn’t have to mean wrapping each set of silverware separately! The easiest thing to do is to wrap your silverware holder in plastic wrap, keeping it all contained and making the unpacking process a lot easier!

Packing Your Drinking Glasses  The Easy Way

Packing drinking glasses can seem like the most tedious process of your entire move. Most people will seperately wrap each glass in bubblewrap or newspaper before packing them in a moving box-but there is a way you can avoid having to wrap each glass and then wash them the minute you unpack! The easiest and quickest way to pack your collection of drinking glasses is to go to local chain store where they receive glasses that are shipped in large quantities. The stores will most likely have the leftover boxes that the glasses were shipped in. These boxes are specially designed for shipping glasses without risk of breakage or damage as they have separate compartments for each glass! Remember, however, that used boxes come with their own set of risks, like being slightly beat up or having a weakened constitution. Use our how to properly put together a moving box blog for tips on how to ensure your moving boxes are move-safe! (Need  moving boxes? We’ve got you covered! )

Pack Your Coffee Maker Last!

This is perhaps the most important tip of all! Even though there are virtually coffee shops on every corner, on moving day, when you’re running out of steam, you may want a quick pick-me-up without having to drop everything and run out to your local coffee shop. By keeping your coffee pot out until moving day, you can save yourself time, money, and most importantly, have coffee at the ready if you’re feeling a bit drained by the time the Plano movers arrive.
