Get a baby sitter to take care of your children when the packing and moving is taking place. You definitely don't want the added stress of running after the kids as well as directing the packing – One foot cannot stand on two boats. Pets should also be similarly left in the pet care center preferably before you call in the North Sydney furniture removalist professionals. Limit what you are storing in the fridge at least a couple of weeks before the actual move. Defrost your fridge / freezer at least two days prior to the move. On the day of moving make sure you take out everything from fridge (including ice cubes and any other frozen products that may liquefy during transit)

Household and kitchen appliances like freezers, fridges, washing machines that may contain water must be drained and cleaned at least a day before the move. They should be absolutely dry when packed as otherwise you run the risk of spoiling other things placed along with these. Similarly petrol driven equipment if any should be drained of fuel, cleaned and dried before moving. Make sure you have made proper arrangements for food on the day of moving. Packing and moving can easily take up the whole day and you cannot be cooking meals at home that day as you need to pack the kitchen too. Moving can get tiresome, hungry people tend to become short tempered, so make sure you have arranged for take away.
