So, you are preparing for your upcoming move with Men on the Move, and you have almost everything packed and ready to go…..except your clothes. As you look at your neatly folded drawers or your closet that you have spent so much time color coordinating and organizing, you begin to get overwhelmed. “I wish I didn’t have to re-fold all of these clothes and put them into boxes only to have to reorganize them after the move”, you tell yourself.
Before you start emptying your drawers like a mad man dumping each drawer onto your bed only to have to refold them and put them in boxes, head to your kitchen. Find your clear plastic wrap (you may have to buy more, but it’s worth it!) and head back to your drawers. Starting at side of the drawer tape the end of the plastic wrap down. Pull the plastic wrap to the other side, tear it, and tape again. You can also go all way around the drawer, which will be much quicker but will also use nearly twice as much plastic wrap. The choice is yours.
Be sure to repeat the process multiple times, covering your drawers tightly, preventing your clothing from getting dirty or falling out. The more times you repeat the step the stronger the covering will be. We recommend buying a large restaurant size roll of plastic wrap to reduce waste and having to keep opening small rolls.
This process will also work on more than just drawers with clothing, you can use this handy packing tip for silverware, desk drawers, junk drawers, and much much more.
You huge master bedroom walk-in closet is full of clothes, right? Maybe you have spent tons of time color coordinating and getting it just right. Let it be known that there is a way to pack your hanging clothes without taking even one item off of a hanger
Head to your kitchen once again and grab the box of drawstring kitchen garbage bags then head back to your closet. Take about ten hanging clothing items (possibly more if they fit) and squish them together really really tight. Use your garbage bags to slide over the bottom of the squished together clothing and pull the drawstring tight. The hangers hooks should still be outside of the garbage bags.

It’s always a great idea to plan your move well in advance. Usually, planning two to three months ahead of time is a good time span to get all of your belongings sorted out.

Last minute moving can be a pain and can feel like you’re being rushed but with these tips, we can make your quick move seem like it was planned:
moving. Moving takes time and energy and by having everything already sorted out or thrown away prior to moving to another location, it will make your move even smoother.Men on the Move love to see our customers satisfied.

Description of Work: Moved furniture and 15 boxes that I had packed myself.
Member Comments:
We had several pieces of furniture that were large and heavy. Brian & Ron were true professionals…made it look easy. They both worked hard and were fast, but with care for our things. I have since unpacked all of my china and stemware and not one piece was broken or chipped. Also, it rained the day we moved and both guys were very careful but not wanting to track in mud. Men on the Move were recommended to me by a friend and once I checked and saw their ratings on Angie’s List I did not hesitate to get a quote. Based on my experience I have already recommended them twice to other people.

Description Of Work:
Moved a few pieces of furniture from a house to a 3rd floor apartment with no elevators.
Member Comments:
Scheduling was easy. Don and Mike were prompt and got the job done in a timely fashion. We only had a few pieces to move but getting to the 3rd floor apartment via very narrow hallways and stair cases posed a challenge. They worked very hard but were still pleasant at the end. We will definitely use this company again.
