Disconnect Water Supply: Disconnect water hoses from washing machines and refrigerators with water dispensers.

Secure Cords and Hoses: Bundle and secure cords and hoses with zip ties. Tape them to the appliance to avoid tripping hazards.

Secure Moving Parts: Secure any moving parts, like the drum in a washing machine, to prevent damage during transportation.

On Moving Day
