1. Turn off and empty the refrigerator at least 48 hours before you start packing it. Leave the door of your refrigerator opened. This way you will fasten the process of melting of all ice residues that may have left inside.
2. Remove all parts such as drawers and shelves, wash and wrap them. Makes sure that you use bubble wrap to pack them. Put them in a cardboard box, tape and label it. Thus the London removals who you have hired will place the box next to the refrigerator in your new home.
3. If there is any persistent odour, place an open box of baking soda inside the refrigerator. It will remove the unpleasant smell. Wipe down all inside wall with warm soap water.
4. Secure the door of you refrigerator with stretch wrap and packing tape. You can also tie a cord around the refrigerator to ensure that the door will not move and bang.
5. Use moving blankets to wrap the refrigerator. This way you will prevent scratches.
6. Make sure that the refrigerator is placed vertically in the truck to prevent compressor oil from damaging the coils. If you have hired one of the good removals in London you do not need to worry about the safety of your refrigerator and the rest of your items.
