Fridges and freezers cause avoidable delays when they are still icy or full of food. A simple routine the day before keeps moving day cleaner.
Defrost in time
Empty the freezer at least 24 hours before collection. Towels on the floor catch meltwater. Never tip a freezer to speed things up.
Clean and dry
Wipe shelves, leave doors open to air, and unplug with enough time for the interior to dry. Food and liquids do not belong on the van inside the appliance.
On the day
Secure shelves and loose drawers with tape. Keep the fridge upright in the van. At the new home, wait before plugging in if the maker advises a rest period after transport.
