Tips While Packing

Here are some great tips to keep in mind while packing:

• Mark “Fragile” on boxes containing breakables.
• Pack in same size boxes when possible, for easy stacking.
• Pack clothes in boxes, cedar scented paper garment bags or on hangers in wardrobe boxes.
• Wrap each piece of glassware and dishes with newsprint to avoid breakage.
• Put baking soda or unused coffee grounds in refrigerators, freezers, stoves and coolers to absorb odors.
• Use trash cans to store garden tools such as shovels, rakes, hoses, etc.
• Remember, moth balls add an additional layer of protection against bugs and rodents.
• Store pictures and mirrors on end. Wrap in cardboard and mark “Fragile”.
