Organizing Your Home In 2014

Happy New Year from the Move Cheap® Cincinnati Movers!

Were you aware that one of the most common New Year's Resolutions for 2014 is to get the home organized? That’s right, it's at the top with "losing weight", "quitting smoking", and "spending less". No matter how cluttered or out of control your home may seem, getting organized is an achievable goal that can be easily accomplished. We want to help you get the year started right, so we organized a list of our favorite tips for getting your home organized for the New Year:

Make a list and set time windows:  

Take a look around and what needs to be done in your home.  Write down the tasks that you want to complete and set reasonable time frames that you want to finish by.  This doesn't have to be set in stone, but it will help motivate you to stay on track. 

Use a U-Box mobile storage unit:  

Portable storage units aren't just for people that are moving.  You can use a U-Box portable storage unit to keep some of your things stored safely while you are organizing your home.  As an example, maybe you have an overflowing spare bedroom – it's difficult to organize in an area where there's no space.  Storing those items in a U-Box on your property will allow you to empty the room and slowly start bringing things back in as you organize at your own speed.

            Implement a reward system:

Do you want to keep your New Year's Resolution to organize your home, but your motivation is drifting? Start a reward system!  Set up rewards (like a candy bar) that you can earn after particular tasks are completed.  It sounds slightly funny, but it works!

Employ assistance:
If you start to feel overwhelmed with the tasks at hand, don't give up!  Hire us, the Move Cheap® Cincinnati Movers to help professionally organize and get your home in order for you.

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

Moving Tip of the Week: Scheduling Your Movers

The official moving season of 2013 is here, and it's important to know when to schedule your Move Cheap® Cincinnati Movers.  Through the peak moving season,(May through September) it is important to schedule your movers with as much advanced notice as you can give to guarantee a reservation.

If your planning to move within the first 7 days or last 7 days of the month, Move Cheap® recommends making those reservations as quickly as possible, and in some cases, as far as a month in advance!  Those dates are always the most widely requested from our customers, and most apartment leases end within those first and last 7 days, leading to a  higher volume of moving requests.  

Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are the next quickest dates to book up, and are popular moving dates for families with children, or those who have a Monday through Friday work schedule.  We recommend 3 weeks notice if you're looking at a weekend move.

For all other dates throughout the peak moving season, our Cincinnati movers recommend scheduling your moving services no later than two weeks out.  That's not to say those dates won't be available if you request a moving reservation, but we can not guarantee availability or specific times if you don't.

It's also important to schedule your rental moving truck or mobile storage unit as soon as possible.  Whether it's U-Haul, Penske, Budget, ABF, PODS, PACKRAT, or UNITS, scheduling ahead of time will lead to a smother move on your moving day.

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

Wintertime Movers

Last winter proved to be a very mild event here in Cincinnati, but the icy cold chills have returned this year.  Can we expect lots of snow and ice?  We'd like to again offer some small advice to our Cincinnati tri-state customers who may be moving in these cold conditions. 

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 also 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!
