How to Move Heavy Furniture

If we are not moving to new apartment properly there is a chance to damage our belongings generally heavy furniture and breakable items. The movers will take care about it but some time you may have to move alone. At that time you have to follow some safety measures I was followed these steps when I moved to Philadelphia apartments and moved without damaging anything. First you have to buy Sliders of appropriate size at your local hardware or home goods store. Lift each corner and put a Slider bottom so that the smooth edge is towards the floor.

Move the furniture, holding it low, once all corners have sliders - because the friction is almost eliminated and the furniture moves very easily. If you have wooden floors, put a piece of old carpet or a rib under each leg before you move an item of furniture; it will slide more easily and won't scrape the floor. Next go to the supermarkets and gathering up different sizes of boxes for packing? Once the small things are taken care of, the big stuff has been finished we turn to the heavy stuff. Another way of moving a heavy object is by putting broom handles underneath, and just rolling on these. Never push heavy tall objects like book shelves - as they might fall and cause damage and more work. The best way to move them is to empty all the books first.
