Allentown Interstate No-Elevator Apartment Mover: New Sofa Packing, Moving Guide
Nov 14, 2023
Summary
Movers.com is offering new resources for Allentown apartment owners to ensure a safe move for their valuables. The company has released a guide on packing and moving sofas and has created a directory of pre-screened movers in the area.
According to figures from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, item damage during moves can cost over $10,000 per claim. The guide on "How to Pack and Move a Sofa" provides practical tips for transporting this sensitive piece of furniture. It advises using a combination of blankets, microfoam, and shrink wrap to protect the sofa, making sure to cover all exposed finished wood and prevent shrink wrap from directly touching the surface.
For leather sofas, the guide emphasizes not wrapping them with stretch wrap directly, as it can create condensation and lead to mildew formation. It also warns against exposing the sofa to extreme heat, as the shrink wrap could melt and stick to the leather.
The guide also includes recommendations for storing a sofa, such as cleaning it before storage, using climate-controlled units, and covering the storage unit's floor. Additionally, it provides a step-by-step section on how to move a sofa, including planning the route and loading it into the truck.
For Allentown apartment owners seeking reputable movers, Movers.com has compiled a directory of pre-screened movers available for interstate moving.

North Brunswick Township, United States - November 14, 2023 /PressCable/ —
Movers.com is expanding its catalog of moving information with two new resources for Allentown apartment owners: a guide on packing and moving a sofa, and a directory of pre-screened movers in their area.
More details can be found at https://www.movers.com/packing-guides/packing-sofa.html
With figures from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration showing that item damage during move amounts to an average of over $10,000 per claim, making sure valuable items are adequately protected should be a priority for owners looking to relocate - especially for those moving long distance, says Movers.com.
The website’s guide on “How to Pack and Move a Sofa” offers practical tips on transporting one of the most sensitive pieces of furniture in most homes.
The guide breaks down sofa packing based on sofa type - from standard fabric sofas to sofa beds and leather sofas. For most sofas, using a mix of blankets, microfoam and shrink wrap will ensure adequate protection, assuming all exposed finished wood is covered, and that shrink wrap doesn’t directly touch the surface of the sofa.
Handling shrink wrap becomes even more important when packing leather sofas, explains Movers.com.
“Never wrap a leather sofa with stretch wrap directly,” recommends the report. “The plastic creates condensation which can cause mildew to form and damage your sofa. That would also result in some expensive repairs. Additionally, if your sofa is exposed to extreme heat, the shrink wrap could melt and stick to the leather.”
Readers will also find expert tips on storing a sofa. This includes having the sofa cleaned before storing it, using climate-controlled units to minimize potential damage due to extreme heat or dryness, and covering the floor of the storage unit.
Finally, the guide includes a step-by-step section on how to move a sofa, from planning the route to loading the sofa into the truck.
For Allentown apartment owners looking for quality movers in their area, Movers.com has compiled a directory of pre-screened movers available for interstate moving.
