Moving To Another Home With Your Chemicals

By Sharonne Penickata


Prior to getting to the point of packing away your family chemicals, you have to stop and check with your moving company's policies concerning these products. If you are moving to South Carolina, you should know beforehand what stuff you can safely place on the moving truck, and what you can not. This has to be known in the packing stage to avoid disasters on moving day.

Everything you don't know about the moving truck is the interior of it gets extremely hot. Not only does the area get hot as the moving company workers are stuffing boxes in to the truck, but it stays hot all through the move. Once the back of the truck is closed up, the metal outside essentially turns to moving truck into an oven on wheels. There's no ventilation and no way for the movers to chill the inside of the truck.

Because of this, the movers can only let you trust them with boxes that wont react to the heat. This means that any object you put onto the truck has to be able to withstand temperatures more than 130F. In most cases, this means that any pressurized cans of cleaning supplies are out. This counts for anything that is pressurized, including hairspray, canned deodorant, and a few bottles of perfume. Whatever includes a warning on it to stay away from excessive heat can not be packed in a box around the truck.

Apart from the pressurized cans, your mover could have a complete set of chemicals and things that they don't take on the18 wheeler. Any household chemical you have which could be hazardous is spilled must not be put in boxes. This includes your family bleach, that bottle of ammonia, and the spare gasoline to your lawnmower.

A few of these chemicals are dangerous on their own. Other medication is dangerous since they could become toxic if blended with other chemicals which could be also about the truck. Be familiar with these, and obtain a complete list from your moving company, before you start packing. If you are ever uncertain, don't pack it in a box. You are accountable for hit and run accidents that may happen if you need to pack a forbidden item around the truck.

Furthermore, avoid all things that tend to melt under heat. This includes candles, wax sculptures, foods which were sealed in wax, and other things like that. If there is a chance it might melt in the heat, it will ruin on the moving truck.

You have to keep in mind that moving rates take into account the undeniable fact that you have followed all of the rules about what may and may not be loaded on the truck. Any damage that's the effect of a forbidden item being packed in the box is positioned on your head. The moving company won't replace whatever was damaged at all by one of these forbidden items.
