Moving Tip of the Week: Movers in Winter

As we have again entered the midst of the winter season, we'd like to offer some small advice to our Cincinnati tri-state customers. The number one danger to movers in the winter time is ice. Please, under no circumstances, pour hot or scalding water on the iced-over ground in order to melt it. The water will only refreeze and likely cause an accident. If you choose Move Cheap® as your Cincinnati moving company, we suggest shoveling your driveways and sidewalks, and using rock salt or ice melt on the path between your truck to your home. It will also be an excellent idea to place some on the ramp of the truck, as well as around the truck itself. This will cause the ice to melt as well as give your movers better traction while carrying your furniture and boxes.

We understand you might have a concern about bringing the outside mess into your home. It will be a good idea to have a mat at your front door in order for your movers to wipe their shoes off and a broom to sweep away any excess mess. It is against our policy to remove our footwear at any time in order to prevent an accident. You also have the option to place a roll of plastic floor protection on your floor surfaces to create a path inside your home for your movers to follow. Please do not lay unsecured blankets, towels, or cardboard on your floors to protect them. Cardboard will easily slide if not taped down, and blankets easily bunch together and create obstacles your movers could easily trip over.

From all of us at Move Cheap® Cincinnati Movers, we hope your move is a great one!
