is shining and it is dry, unfortunately we cannot
control the weather.

There are times when you are all packed, waiting
for your Toronto moving company to arrive and
look out the window to see it damp, wet, and
raining.

For some people, they may have the flexibility to
reschedule the move, provided their mover is also
available on the alternate date and time.

For others, they do not have this luxury, so they
are left determining the best ways to move their
belongings, furniture, and other items while it
is raining outside.

Tip 1 Use Plastic Trash Bags
You can protect small and medium sized cardboard
boxes, clothing, and other paper items from the
rain by placing them inside plastic trash bags of
varying sizes.

After your move, you can recycle the trash bags
and use them a second time to dispose of trash.

Tip 2 Use Plastic Wrap
Your moving company often has packing-quality
plastic wrap you can use to put over furniture
pads and other larger items to keep them dry.
Plastic wrap also works well on larger moving
boxes and other items that will not fit into
trash bags.

Tip 3 Take Advantage of Breaks in the Weather
Anytime the rain lets up or there is a break in
the weather, these are the times you want to get
electronics, furniture, and other items onto or
off of the moving truck.

Tip 4 Dry as You Go
It might seem a bit redundant to protect your
items from the rain with plastic trash bags and
plastic wrap and then also recommend to wipe them
off.

However, it is important to wipe the excess water
off of items as they are loaded onto the truck as
it will ensure they do, indeed remain dry.

Tip 5 Set up a Makeshift Move-In Space
At your new home, line the entry way with towels,
tarps, or furniture pads so as items are brought
in, they can be dried off and taken out of their
plastic protection before being moved to their
desired location within the home.

Tip 6 Request Extra Movers
It is a good idea to talk to your moving company
about getting a few extra movers so that loading
and unloading processes can proceed faster.

Keep in mind your moving company will attempt to
accommodate this request if there are movers
available, but there may be an added cost.

Tip 7 Use Covered Areas to Your Advantage
If you have access from your apartment or condo
directly into a covered parking structure or have
an attached garage on your house, use these areas
to your advantage to load or unload the moving
truck.
