How to protect and pad wrap a dresser for your move

[@michaeliceman4495]

I work with a crew that is fast paced so I appreciate these videos , took a pad home, practiced and mastered. Thank you!

[@halfhumanhalfalien7713]

Haha. Thats funny. I worked as a mover for 3 years. U dont need to practice at home. U can just practice while yur at work while wrapping several furnitures.

[@BajanBoo]

Simple and very useful. Wish I had follow these simple steps when I picked up furniture. My stuff was looking 100% gorgeous and now looking 50-60% because I never padded it up and wrap it. So now I know better.

[@andrewarsenault1906]

As a thirty five year mover your videos are the best that I have seen out there. You certainly know how to do it and how to instruct others as well as to "why" something should be done a specific way. It's good to see someone offering truly professional instruction! Good Luck and much success- from "An old stick stacking brother of the burlap, & Potentate of the Interstate and savior of the endangered bed bug!

Im 17 and been working as a mover doing long distances, miltarie, and locals for 3 years now and have been using bands for 2 years and in this case he did a good job folding but i would recommend using a large green band and done an X type of wrap around it and u couldve saved yourself from using 2-3 small bands. I used to get yelled alot as a newbie for using more than I needed lol just a heads up for anyone starting

[@vivian9803]

Thank you for mentioning the dimensions of the blanket!

[@rickheel]

So you slide your dollie across the floor to get it under the piece? Floor repairs are expensive.

[@henryathurmanjr]

Thank you for the video. You are a professional!

[@maureenhart2854]

Can you tell me where I can get those rubber bands. The dimensions would be helpful as well enjoyed your video thank you

[@ecarduno]

Respect for your work there I just have to say is half ways done You have to protect the feet as well otherwise isn't complete. I'll give u a 8/10 padding your furniture

[@jarodestes1491]

Lol just STOP. It is not halfway done. The pad is level with the feet or bottom. The bottom or back of the dresser is not the priority.

[@chrispeters9654]

@@jarodestes1491 true, but it is for sliding purposes. Sliding may not be an intention but may be required. Having the feet/bottom edges covered will help prevent scratching or scuffing

[@willsjaime]

Very professiona. Thanks for the walkthrough

[@blacklove79]

Great advice

[@jamespopp6324]

is there a preferred size of rubber bands to have on hand or have various sizes?

[@candacetolbert8308]

Thank you!! This help us out a lot 😌

[@debadwolf9727]

do these big rubber bands have another name? As in if I were to buy them some places what should I refer to them as? Can they be bought at a hardware store?

[@e0104889]

I put purchased mine on eBay. I believe I typed rubber band moving supplies as my search. Also, I know The home depot carries the green medium sized ones.

[@debadwolf9727]

thanks

[@ScottSmith-pn3xo]

called furniture rubber band can't buy them at a hardware store go to your local moving company

[@robertswantee2857]

Nice pad job. Seen a few of your guys run furniture out of the house un padded which is a big no no. Otherwise good looking operation your running

[@oscarsuarez7562]

the technique is good for ground floor moves, using one band and shrink will be optimal for stairs and two men sized items, just my opinion.

[@crownmissy4388]

Omg where can I get the rubber bands and the moving pads from anyone please tell me I’m moving at the end of this month

[@alexalarcon6021]

Victory Packaging has all you need for moving.

[@davidbendito5404]

I would hate to have you move my furniture ! You didn’t even cover the legs , that dresser with undo when loading into trailer you had run bands long ways as well and making sure pad goes around feet so that they don’t get scratched.

[@kabulphil4546]

I wish I watched this before buying 24 rolls of tape!

[@EconomyMovingStorageLLC]

[@colewilliams4260]

This is absolute bare minimum padding. The piece is covered for now but there is nothing securing the pad to the feet. If you did this in an upstairs bedroom and carried it down stairs it would not make it like that.

[@tru-gaugustine1221]

I was watching these videos to see if anyone anywhere gots anything on my skills. I'm in charge of moving furniture that in the millions. I'm thinking of doing a video of my own 🤔

[@halfhumanhalfalien7713]

I worked as a Mover for 3 years and based on my experience Wrapping Furnitures etc... is common sense. You dont need training for it unless your dumb.

[@Gen3ralGrimReaper]

Rubber bands also break over time. Stack furnitures so close to others that rubber bands CAN cause frictions against other bands.

[@yfcvyourfriendwithacubevan2513]

...which is why I prefer to shrink wrap the blanket on. It's a good start up video to show new employees about the concept of furniture-care and how far we can go to protect the furniture and ourselves as well.

[@richardheinz]

Tape will always hold better than bands. And never use a 2 wheeler on furniture. I've seen so many dressers get wrecked on the bottom that way. I think it's crazy when I see movers using 2 wheelers on hardwood floors. Or up/down a flight of stairs. They don't know what they are doing.

[@trentt6622]

Richard Heinz u probably havnt been moving furniture very long if you advise not using a dolly. A great dolly is the key to longevity in this career.

[@scorppious6722]

Get skills bro

[@pointnIaugh]

I don't advise using a dolly on stairs unless the piece is just too damn heavy. In all other circumstances I would recommend using a dolly.

[@mysterion420]

Double strap allday

[@roland2704]

I just started a moving business with furniture. Your video does not show how to protect the base. I see lots of furniture damage at the bases, especially when trying to tip over into moving truck by previous people. You mist show how to protect the bottom all around. You get 3 stars for this because all it takes is one very pissed off customer.

[@starrstewart7083]

Really enjoy it. Let's check woodprix plans also.

[@alonzobee9136]

tape is way better

[@yfcvyourfriendwithacubevan2513]

I use shrink wrap or tape,

[@jarodestes1491]

Tape is a hazard for wood
