The DO's


  • Wear safety shoes. Steel toe, non slip, with proper lacing is key to protect your feet and your body from impact.

  • Masks or glasses while handling dusty furniture. Dust and particulates can be harmful for your lungs and eyes and may have irregularities inside of it.

  • Keep children and pets away while trying to move items. While moving, keep them clear and occupied so they aren't in harms way at any time.

  • Wear gloves. Gloves are extremely important for grip and protection. They will ensure the item can be handled 100% and decrease slivers and sharp punctures.

  • Always keep lights on while entering basements and cellars. It's difficult enough to move down there, don't make it even more challenging without vision.

  • Be sure to stretch your body out before handling items. This will decrease cramps and potential injury.

  • Always communicate with another lifter while moving.

  • Do not lift heavy items by yourself, or put yourself in awkward positions. These can cause serious injury and bodily harm.

  • Do not leave drawers untaped or unwrapped. You don't want them open or falling our while trying to lift an item.

  • Do not force something through different entrances and exits. This can cause damage

  • Do not unplug, unwire or cut any type of utility or electrical without a professional.
