The dining room will generally include
your most fragile china and crystal stemware. Each item
should be carefully wrapped in newsprint and placed in
dish cartons; cellular dividers are recommended for
stemware.
Draperies can be placed on hangers and
loaded in ward- robe cartons. Sofas, chairs and tables do
not require special preparation. They will be carefully
padded and loaded by the City Transfer van foreman.
Larger
serving dishes will require extra wrapping for complete
protection. When assembling the dish carton use a few
extra strips of tape, since these cartons are fairly
heavy when packed. Line the bottom of the dish carton
with three to four inches of wadded paper. Begin by
loading plates, followed by serving dishes' cups, and
finally glassware or crystal. Finally, top off each
carton with another layer of wadded paper. Silverware
should be wrapped in newsprint or pi tissue. Next several
pieces in each bundle, and load them in the dish carton
or in a 1.5 cu. carton.
Bathrooms
You will need to dispose of aerosol
cans, such as hair- spray or deodorant, or take them with
you. Other bottles should be taped shut and wrapped to
prevent leakage, then packed in 1.5 cu. ft. cartons.
Towels and other linens should be placed
in 4.5 cu. ft. cartons. Full length glass mirrors can be
packed in large mirror cartons. However, if they are
especially heavy, crating is recommended.
