Moving to a new home or apartment involves, well, a lot of moving parts. There are few other times you will be walking around both your old and your new spaces this much. As you carry all your belongings, furniture, and heavy boxes in and out, you can run the risk of damaging your floors. Nothing can feel worse than losing out on a security deposit or hurting a home\u2019s resell value just as you\u2019re about to move out. You\u2019ll obviously want to protect your new floors, too. Read on for some tips on protecting your floors during your move from the experts at <\/span>UNITS\u00a9 Moving & Portable Storage<\/span><\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n

Use A Dolly For Heavier Items<\/span><\/h2>\n

When it comes to moving heavier items, the last thing you will want to do is scratch your flooring by dragging them along the wood or carpet. A dolly is equipped with wheels that allow you to easily move your heavy items without doing any damage to your floors. You can choose dollies with inflatable rubber wheels or hard rubber wheels to get the right dolly for your floor.<\/span><\/p>\n

Carpet Masking<\/span><\/h2>\n

One of the easiest ways to protect your carpet from just about anything is to mask it. Carpet masking is usually done by placing a durable plastic film over your carpet that prevents the carpet from being stained, damaged, or torn up by anyone moving heavy items or foot traffic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Learn How To Properly Pack<\/span><\/h2>\n

Learning how to properly pack boxes can help you to prevent heavy items from falling out of the bottom and messing up your floor. By using reinforced, heavy-duty boxes for your items, you can prevent the chances of a box breaking open and spilling its contents to the floor\u2014which will help you to keep your floors safe. This is crucial when using a moving company as they are not going to know how heavy a box is until they lift it.<\/span><\/p>\n
