Prepare your mirrors for the move

Firstly, it's important to have a clean mirror. After that, put it on a flat and safe surface like a kitchen table or similar surface. Of course, keep your kids away from it in order to avoid them from getting hurt and breaking the mirror. The best way to keep it safe is to leave it to our Westchester movers and let them handle it. Write an X over your mirror and put tape on the places where your mirror is the weakest. This will help it stay more stable during transit.

Wrap and pack the mirrors for moving

Protect your mirrors by putting cardboard on the edges of the mirror. After that put it on a piece of moving paper. Cover it completely with it and then for additional safety put wrapping paper around it. This will keep it clean and make sure it's protected inside the moving truck. Be it that you're moving the most expensive mirrors in the world or your ordinary mirror you need to keep it surrounded with as much padding as possible. It will give it much-needed stability and protect its delicate parts.

Make sure that the mirrors are secure when you pack and move them
