Moving Preparations Guide

Proper preparation ensures a smooth, efficient moving experience. At Midas Moving, we want to help you get ready for your move with our curated moving checklist. Follow these steps to keep your belongings safe and your move hassle-free.

Packing Your Belongings

Boxes

Label each box with the room name for easy placement in your new home. Ensure all non-appliance items are packed in sturdy, sealed boxes with lids and flat tops.

Furniture

Clear all furniture surfaces before moving day. Our team can disassemble multi-piece desks, beds, entertainment centers, and more. Note: OSB (particle board) furniture should be fully disassembled, as we cannot cover damage.

Beds

Remove all bedding, including mattress covers. Water beds must be fully drained, and their mattresses boxed before moving day.

Dressers

Empty all drawers. Clothing and linens may remain if the dresser is not being moved up or down stairs.

Safes & Jewelry Armoires

We can move safes, but please notify us in advance so we can bring the proper equipment. Empty the contents, lock the safe, and transport valuables separately.

File & Storage Cabinets

Remove all items to prevent structural damage. Emptying drawers keeps cabinets intact during transport.

Computers & Electronics

Disconnect all devices before moving. Use original packaging for the CPU, monitor, and printer when possible. Take a photo of cable connections before unplugging to make reconnection easier.

Preparing Appliances & Equipment

Appliances

Disconnect all electrical, water, gas, and data lines before moving day. Refrigerators, freezers, and wine coolers should be emptied and unplugged at least 12 hours before the move. Remove drain pans and secure moving parts.

Wall Hangings & Mirrors

Take down all pictures, mirrors, and wall decor before moving day. Keep them together in a safe place away from high-traffic areas. These will be the last items loaded onto the truck.

Restricted Items

For safety reasons, we cannot move hazardous materials, including:

Combustibles: Matches, gasoline, propane, charcoal, aerosols
Chemicals: Pool chemicals, pesticides, paint thinners, fertilizers
Pressurized Tanks: Fire extinguishers, ammonia, propane tanks
Automotive Items: Motor oil, car batteries, antifreeze
Household Items: Nail polish, bleach, cleaning solvents

Ways to Save Time & Money

Move Smaller Items From Upstairs to the First Floor or Garage.
Disassemble and Reassemble Furniture Yourself When Possible.
Notify Movers of Any Large Items That May Require Special Handling.
Disconnect Washers, Dryers, and Refrigerators in Advance.
Have a Designated Area for Packed Boxes Near the Entrance.
Clearly Label Boxes With Their Designated Rooms for Easy Unloading.
