How to Properly Pack Your Kitchen for a Move in Melbourne

Packing up a full kitchen for a move can be an overwhelming task. All those plates, appliances large and small, food items, tools, and more need to be carefully handled so nothing gets damaged or lost during your relocation to Melbourne.

Follow this guide from Vanguy Pick-Up and Delivery Services for tips on successfully packing kitchen items for your upcoming move:

 

Sort and Purge Before Packing

Go through cabinets, pantry, drawers, and appliances and decide what gets packed, donated, given away or discarded. Organizing and downsizing your kitchen items ahead of time makes packing smoother.

 

Protect Glassware and Dishes

Wrap glassware, mugs, plates, and bowls individually in newspaper or paper then pack them in small boxes with cushioning on the bottom. Stand plates on edge and layer items don’t stack them flat. Mark boxes “fragile.”

 

Pack Appliances Properly

 Clean and dry appliances thoroughly before moving. Secure parts like oven racks inside the oven cavity. Tape electrical appliances shut. Following manufacturer instructions for moving preparation.

 

Empty and Clean the Fridge/Freezer

 Discard any perishable food items beforehand. Defrost and wash down the interior of the fridge and freezer to avoid odors and mildew in transit. Dry thoroughly.

 

Label Boxes Clearly By Room and Contents

 Mark boxes clearly as “Kitchen” plus the room or contents like “Kitchen – Plates” and “Kitchen – Baking Tools.” List major appliances in their own boxes. This helps movers.

 

Use Sturdy Boxes and Packing Paper

 Pack heavy items like pots and pans in smaller sturdy boxes. Wrap glassware with packing paper and cushion appliances with paper to prevent jostling and damage.

 

 Transport Food Properly

 Keep any non-perishable pantry items you’re taking in sealed plastic bins or zipper bags so nothing spills in the truck. Hand-carry perishables in a cooler.
