Our advices

When you start packing your belongings, start with the business that is out of season, then focus on the secondary assets. The ones you use every day will be the last ones packed.

Gather all the elements of the same article. For example, put all the rings of a curtain rod in a bag provided for this purpose and fasten them together securely.Secure all electrical wires that can not be separated from the unit so they do not protrude (plastic ties).

Cover the tips and sharp edges of your objects.

Individually wrap each piece made of fine porcelain, crystal and other objects that require special delicacy in tissue paper or paper towels. Use a double sheet of newspaper to protect everything.
