Packing your laundry room is not as difficult as it seems. This may be one of the rooms you're going to pack last as you still need some of the appliances here, but following these tips from professional movers will make sure you still beat the deadline:

• Once you've ironed the last piece of clothing that you will use when you move, simply remove the board cover and wash it. You want a clean sheet ready for use in your new home. Let the ironing board stand horizontally or lay it flat on the ground, ensuring the safety during transit. If there's water in your iron, drain it first before you pack it.

• Professional movers suggest doing one final laundry before disconnecting your washing machine. Nothing beats the comfort of having fresh clothes to wear upon moving in your new home.

• Place all your cleaning products in one box and label accordingly. Be sure to have easy access on this box as you might be needing some products in cleaning your new home. 

• Removing your washing machine and dryer usually require extra hands. You may use your DIY prowess or call a plumber to disconnect them from the units. You can also ask your moving company if they can do this for you. 

• When transferring washing machine and tumble dryer, avoid scratching them or the flooring by placing a blanket underneath. Washing machines these days are usually delivered with a shipping bolt to keep them rigid during transport. Make sure to put it pack before transferring it again.

• Your moving crew will load your appliances in an upright position inside the truck. Doing this will minimize potential damage during transport. 

• Once your appliances have arrived in your new home, get plumbing help if necessary. Pay attention to these appliances for at least a week once it has been installed in your new home to ensure the move has not created any leaks or defects.
