How To Pack Silverware Safely For Removals

Moving house can be a stressful experience, but even more so when you have delicate and valuable items to pack. Silverware, such as cutlery, candlesticks, cruets and trays are vulnerable to scratches and dents when not transported correctly. It is, therefore, important to ensure your silver items are properly secured for transport when you move house.

At Carlin Brown Removals, we are experienced in packing silver items for removals, and we recommend the following instructions to ensure the safe transport of these valuable items.

Step 1: Thoroughly Clean Silverware

To ensure your silverware is secure for transport, make sure it is thoroughly clean. Any dust, dirt or grease on the items can damage them during the move. If the silverware is dirty, you can use a mix of warm water and mild soap to clean them. Once clean, let the items fully dry before packing them.

Step 2: Use A Soft Cloth For Wrapping

Once your silverware is clean, it is ready for wrapping. Avoid using tissue paper to wrap items, as this can cause rub marks or other damage. Instead, opt for a soft cloth or cushioning material. This will ensure your silverware is well-protected and safe from any dents or scratches.

Step 3: Secure Your Silverware In Boxes

Next, you should secure the items in a box. Make sure the box is the right size and the items fit snugly inside. To avoid any damage during transportation, use additional cushioning materials, such as bubble wrap or foam, to add extra protection.

Step 4: Label Silverware Boxes

To ensure you dont lose track of your silverware during the move, label each box clearly. Include a brief description of what is inside and the box number as well. This will help you to keep your items organised and make unpacking easier.

Step 5: Get Professional Help

If youre unsure how to pack your silverware safely, or you dont have the time to do it yourself, it is best to leave it to the professionals. At Carlin Brown Removals, we are experienced in packing and transporting delicate items and can ensure your items are safe and secure during transit.
