1.    At the very beginning of packing, loading, and moving, you need to clean the entire space on which the moving job will happen. The cleaning is essential because the covering may trap the dirt under it. So, cover it first.’

 2.    For covering, you can use Poly Craft Mask, floor runners, tacky mats, water-resistant hardboard, tacky mats, and more. Depending on the requirement, you can install them on floors and staircases. On the other hand, you can also protect the carpet with carpet-protecting poly sheets.

So, these adhesives will not stick firmly and will get released fast with minimal effort.

 3.    Then, it is time to measure the area where you want to install it. After measuring, you have to place an order for the carpet and floor protection.

 4.    Keep a track of heavy traffic areas, medium traffic areas, and fewer traffic areas. Depending on the traffic, you have to purchase the required type of floor coating materials. You know tacky mats are used in heavy traffic areas. On the other hand, simple ploy crafts are suitable for normal traffic areas.

 7.    However, you can also install wall protective materials during the move of large and bulky furniture, showcase, cupboard, tables, chairs, shelves, and drawers. They will prevent damage to walls from unexpected dashing against the wall and pillars.

 8.    Put down a large doormat or door-protecting sheet. They will also offer water-protecting capabilities. Everybody should wipe their feet in between trips outside.

 9.    It will be a realistic decision to divide all the house moving crews into two parts: one part will work dedicatedly inside the room up to the doorstep and the other team will work dedicatedly outside the room. This system will work magically well for protecting the floors and other areas. The outside team will not tread inside with the clay, sand, mud, or moister. This will help hold back the tracked-in dirt to a minimum level.
