Safety and Sanitization Supplies for Moving

The Benefits of Public Storage’s Safety and Sanitization Supplies

During a move, there’s always a potential for accidents to happen, whether it’s by slipping on a wet surface, dropping boxes, or transferring dirt or grime onto the surface of furniture and clothing. With basic safety and sanitization products, like disinfectants, towels, and moving gloves, you can cut down on the risk of harm or needless damage to your goods that moving can cause. Utilizing Public Storage’s safety and sanitization supplies may feel like an added step, but by having these products on hand, you’ll be more prepared to clean up in areas where packing and moving is taking place before they become hazardous. Beyond staples like boxes and tape, the right supplies can only make moving easier, so check out the product options that you can include in your moving plan.

Choosing the Right Safety and Sanitization Supplies for Your Move

• Gloves are key during moving and storage, since they go along way to prevent injury or damage due to slippage. The best gloves for moving/storing are lightweight, breathable, stretchy/elastic, provide good grip.
• Rain ponchos can become an essential accessory to keep on hand in any case that the weather does not work in your favour during a move.
• Forearm forklifts help make heavy lifting a much easier task and can help make heavy objects feel 66% lighter than normal.
• Disinfectant wipes come in handy before or after a move when it is required to clean any surfaces or accidental spills or stains during a move. They can be used to help keep hands clean, too!
• Garbage bags are useful during a move to dispose of previously used moving material and other debris. They’re also a good stop-gap measure to replace other packing supplies in the middle of your move, should the need arise.
• When moistened, scrubbing sponges help clean and get rid of any spillage or dirt that may accumulate before or after a move, either in your vehicle, on your clothing, or on the items you’re moving. Paired with the disinfectant wipes, scrubbing sponges are useful in getting rid of any residue.
• Terry cloth towels is best used to absorb liquid and clean furniture easily, as terry cloth is a non-abrasive material that will not cause any scratches on surfaces. They are also good for wiping down your hands.

What gloves are good for grip?

Gloves with a good gripping surface, such a silicone or nitrile dot anti-slip surface, will be useful during any move. Look for a woven breathable fabric to reduce sweating, like canvas or cotton.

Is terry cloth a good material?

Terry cloth is a good material because it is inexpensive, absorbent, and strong. It is usually all-natural (cotton) and can also be washed and reused, like microfiber.
