Tips to Moving Out This Pandemic

Moving is complicated, whether you choose to handle it on your own or hire professionals like Interstate Removals, to help relieve some of the stress that comes along with packing and unpacking for hours on end. 

But if you have no choice but to hire a company to assist you with moving to a new home during the coronavirus pandemic, you might be feeling even more anxious as you figure out how to remain as safe and healthy as possible throughout the intense process.

Here are a few tips you should know…

Use Fresh Packaging

In the past, it wasn’t uncommon for people to reuse boxes from the grocery store in an effort to save money. However, this approach isn’t recommended during the pandemic. According to the New York Times, the virus can live on cardboard for up to 24 hours

Double-check the details of your move

In most places, moving is considered an “essential service,” meaning that help should still be available. That said, it never hurts to double-check on all the different facets of your move, especially if there is extensive travel involved, which may prove more difficult in the current environment.

Choose a moving method that minimizes contact, if possible

If at all possible, choose a moving method that minimizes contact between you and other people. Moving on your own, over time, maybe an option. Using storage pods to transfer your belongings without much contact with others may also be a great alternative.

Provide extra sanitizing materials for move-in day

On move-in day, you should be sure to provide enough sanitizing materials and protective equipment for everyone involved in the process. Access to a sink and hand soap at both locations is ideal, but if that is not possible, try to stock up on plenty of hand sanitizer. In addition, you may want to provide face coverings and gloves.
