Moving Blankets for Protecting Sensitive Surfaces

Moving Blankets are commonly used in the professional moving industry as one of the best ways to protect sensitive surfaces during a move. Moving Blankets are made from heavy-duty layers of fabric to provide a protection barrier between sensitive surfaces and sharp edges that could pose a threat of causing damage or even destroying expensive furniture with sensitive surfaces.

Some of the most common sensitive surfaces that become damaged during a move include wood, glass, appliances, electronics, or even antiques. Moving Blankets can help reduce or eliminate any small scratches that could require the belongings to be repaired or replaced.

A safe move that has the customer’s personal belongings arriving safe can help create repeat customers, fewer insurance claims, and make your move quicker by knowing exactly how to protect sensitive surfaces during a move. Moving blankets have become cheaper insurance for professional movers over the last decade and help to offer peace of mind for professionals due to the amount of protection they can offer.

The industry standard size for moving blankets is 72 inches by 80 inches and the amount of protection they offer is dependent on the amount of materials to use. The best way to determine the amount of protection moving blankets can offer is based on the weight per dozen moving blankets.

Frequently Asked Moving Blanket Questions

Can You Wash Moving Blankets In A Washer/Dryer?

If you are going to wash the blankets we highly advise only washing the heaviest-duty blankets as they utilize more stitching and fabric.

After they are washed you should let the moving blankets air dry to prevent them from shrinking or becoming damaged inside of dryers. If the moving blankets develop an odor but are visibly clean you can also spray odor eliminators with your favorite scent onto the moving blankets to remove unpleasant odors from the moving blankets.
