UNITS Mobile Storage of Milwaukee

  Moving Checklist – 1 Week Before Moving

• Finish packing and prepare an “essentials” box.  Designate several boxes and items as “last load” items.  Pack your suitcases and valuables separately.
• Drain all gas and oil from your mover, snow blower and other motors.  Gas grills, kerosene heaters, etc need to be emptied as well.  Remember you cannot pack any toxic materials or combustibles.
• Empty, defrost and clean your refrigerator at least 24 hours before moving day.  Prepare all appliances for loading by draining water and wrapping cords.
• Notify friends and family of your new address and how to reach you while you are moving.

 Remember when moving and storing with UNITS you have as many days as you need to load.  Load some everyday so the job is not overwhelming.  We can be reached at 414-476-8648 to answer your loading, moving and storing questions.
