Moving a complete household is not a small undertaking, and
you want your belongings to arrive at their destination in good condition. A
move is a fun event, and it is a pity if this day is overshadowed by, for
example, an heirloom that breaks during transport. That is why it is important
to properly protect your belongings during transport, but also if you store
your belongings at a home contents storage facility.
Moving boxes, old newspapers, and bubble wrap are all used to
ensure that items arrive at our new home or storage location in one piece. For
both smaller furniture and large objects, the moving or storage blanket is
still a proven protector of household contents and is widely used during every
move.
The difference between a moving or storage blanket
If you are moving, knowing which type of blanket suits you
is good. Moving and storage blankets are often confused and even used
interchangeably. Still, there are a few key differences between the two.
The price is the first big difference you will immediately
notice if you want to purchase a moving or storage blanket. Storage blankets
are a lot cheaper than moving blankets, which is why many people choose this
type. But in some cases, it is cheaper to go for the more expensive moving
blankets.
This has to do with the second important difference between
the blankets: the quality of the materials and finish. A moving blanket
contains more wool and cotton than a storage blanket and is always neatly
finished with a lining. This ensures that the blanket can take more and lasts
longer. On the other hand, a storage blanket is of lower quality and less
resistant to pulling and sliding during a move.
When do you use moving covers?
Moving covers can be used for both large and small items.
The cover ensures that it does not get scratched and that there is some
protection against bumps. For example, a mattress
moving cover protects your mattress from external hazards. With large
items, make sure you also put a blanket under the object. That slides easier.
In addition, a cover must always be placed between items or walls of the truck
or storage box so that nothing is damaged in the event of friction.
It is also good to put a storage cover over your things.
This protects them against dust, but it also ensures that there is less risk of
damage if something is moved.
Choose a safe storage location.
Finally, in addition to a set of good blankets, it is also
important where you store your belongings. For example, you sometimes end up in
very tight locations when looking for a storage box. Therefore, it is important
that you have enough space for your belongings and that there is good access to
self-storage.
