Keep the following 3 steps in mind as you prepare for movers during COVID-19.
1. Buy everything at once, and buy more than you require.
Keeping your visits to the stores to a minimum reduces your virus exposure, so prepare a list and plan ahead of time. It’s also a good idea to go weeks ahead of your moving date to ensure the store has the items you need and to provide time for them to restock if they run out. We sell extra moving materials in addition to our plastic moving boxes, which we may deliver to your door with the boxes.
2. Clean as you go.
Cleaning and moving usually go hand in hand, and now is a great opportunity to clean your stuff more than before. A thorough clean also means that all of your belongings are packed and sterilised in preparation for your movers. When was the last time you cleaned your phone chargers or light switches, for example? If you don’t have any sanitizer on hand, You may make your own sanitiser by mixing one tablespoon of bleach with three gallons of water.
3. Can coronavirus be caught from furniture?
Contacting infected things or surfaces and then touching your eyes, face, nose, and mouth might expose you to the COVID-19 virus. That is why all medical advice recommends rigorous handwashing and avoiding from touching your safe when you are not at home. Hard surfaces, such as metal and glass, are considered to have a higher probability of containing the virus than porous surfaces, such as cloth. As part of our ongoing training and practise, our Melbourne Movers routinely wash their hands and use hand sanitizer.
