This pandemic has hit our country hard. The US has never experienced the hardship of this kind. More and more questions are appearing, as well as new information. If you are planning (or already have planned) a relocation, before searching for a Chicago moving company to help you out, make sure to check some of these tips. These pieces of advice will help you schedule and plan a safe relocation, even during a pandemic. Let’s all be safe and responsible!
Tip 1: Carefully choose movers
You might be moving cross-state, away from Chicago. Or, you might be moving somewhere inside the city area, for example, moving to Mundelein. Regardless of where you’re going, you need to find the relocation experts who are familiar with the general rules and guidelines during the quarantine. Get the moving quote, ask them about the precaution measures, and make sure they are acquainted with the coronavirus rules and guidelines, even about the rescheduling and possible canceling of relocation.
Tip 2: Pack and sanitize
You’ve heard about washing hands and disinfection probably about a billion times. Before packing and organizing, make sure to sanitize whatever is necessary. Doorknobs, handles, light switches – anything our hands frequently touch needs to be cleaned. Also, make sure to use the appropriate cleaner for the designated areas. Your safety should never be neglected, though. While using strong alcohol or cleaning products, use rubber gloves, and protect yourself.
Tip 3: Distancing from relocation team
Our general safety is currently of the essence. Yes, we all mostly are used to physical touch as a sign of politeness and appreciation, but skipping handshakes is a must. Offer your movers a warm smile and kind words instead of physical contact. Additionally, a distance of six feet is strongly advised. If you have pets that you can’t control, keep them in a separate room.
