Cover mattresses and lounges with plastic covers. You will also need to empty wardrobes, drawers and cupboards to so that it would be lighter in weight. Disassemble beds and tables and wrap legs carefully with packing to save space. Light chairs are be able to be stacked. Use synthetic covers to cover your furniture.

•    Dishes and Glassware
Use a sheet of protective material at the top and bottom of cartons containing porcelain. Wrap items separately in packing paper. You can use newspaper but it can leave ink stains. Block any gaps in the carton to prevent movement. Mark all cartons containing fragile goods clearly. Avoid placing your heavy items on top of fragile ones. For example, stack boxes containing glasses on top.

It is important to take precautions to protect these items. You may use packing material like bubble wrap to cover them  individually. Take the time to wrap it properly, that way it will be safe to move from one location to another.
