Sacramento, CA (I-Newswire) October 17, 2012 - In a recent blog post, Sacramento Movers explained that the kitchen is one of the most challenging rooms to pack. Many people opt to have this room alone packed even if they can’t afford to have the whole house packed by a moving company. Considering how many oddly shaped or fragile items this room has, not to mention the sheer amount of pieces to be packed, it certainly makes sense to hire someone else to do it. However, for those trying to keep costs down or who would just rather do the job themselves, Sacramento Movers has offered some tips for packing up the kitchen before a move.

Begin with packing items that are not used often such as fine china dishware, stemmed glasses, seasonal or decorative dishes, souvenir mugs, as well as party platters or food warmers. Wrap china and glassware in plain packing paper so that newspaper ink will not bleed onto these delicate items. Thoroughly pad the bottom of the dish pack and put extra stuffing in the corners of the boxes which are the most likely to be smashed in. Place the heavier items toward the bottom of the box using cell dividers to keep dishes in place. Pack glasses and stemware toward the top of the box.

In small moving boxes pack cookbooks with their binding facing up. This box can also stow away decorative items, coasters, placemats or other miscellaneous items. Use small boxes to pack up cooking utensils and kitchen knife sets. Pack away spices in small moving boxes. Additionally, pack oils and spice jars that could spill in individual zip lock baggies to keep everything else in the box clean and dry.
