6 Reasons you Should always use Professional Movers for your Albuquerque Home Move!

Thursday, June 1, 2023
by Sandi Pressley



What an exciting time! Your moving day is fast approaching, and your excitement level and anxiety is starting to run high. Instead of tackling the organizing, packing, and moving ALL of your belongings on your own, consider the services of a professional moving company. Here’s why:

  1. Professional movers have the know-how, equipment, and efficiency needed to get the job done smoothly and on time. If you need assistance with packing items- especially fragile, collectibles, electronics, etc, they’ll be sure to bring all the necessary supplies to safely pack and secure these items for the move so that you’ll rest easy in knowing they’ll arrive safely to your new destination.
  2. With years of experience and training on their side, professional movers not only have the equipment (dollies, ramps, lifts, and protective devices) to safely move all your belongings from house to truck and house again, they know how to navigate the larger items through narrow spaces, doorways, and trickier layouts of homes. They’ll also wrap larger items like furniture, mattresses, appliances and electronics so nothing is dented or scratched during the moving process.  Giving you much better protection for all your belongings.
  3. Did you know that professional movers keep an inventory of all boxes, furniture, and items they are moving on your behalf? In the chaos of the moving process, it is very easy to lose track of boxes and items. Having a company accountable for your belongings takes a weight off of your shoulders…and you know it will arrive at your new home.
  4. Save your health! That’s right. Do you know how many injuries have happened during the moving process? From sprains to pulled muscles, broken bones and more. Even the simple strain of up and down stairs and lifting heavy furniture can tweak your back or legs and put your out of commission. Why chance an injury or time off work when you can have the professionals handle things for you?
  5. Movers will save you much valuable time and money. If you evaluate the amount of money spent on supplies needed to ready your belongings, truck rental, rental of dollies, lifts, and other accessories, and the sheer amount of time and energy that will go into moving on your own- not to mention the stress factor- you come out ahead using the services of a moving company.
  6. Your family and friends will THANK YOU…and still invite you over for get-to-gathers! All joking aside, it can be difficult to call on family and friends to help with moving. While many will offer their help, or kindly answer YES, it is always a dreaded task for anyone. Plus, utilizing movers allows you time to get to your new home and ready it for the arrival of your personal belongings without the stress and exhaustion of having to do the move yourself.

Enjoy the process of moving into your new HOME! Don’t add in stress and anxiety by doing the entire move yourself. You deserve a break at this joyous time, so take it!

Homeowner Tips: How to Clean your Washing Machine

Friday, May 26, 2023
by Sandi Pressley


One thing is for sure, there will always be clothes to wash! Our washer and dryer sure do get a workout and keeping them in top working order is a must. Did you know that you should clean your washing machine once a month?  This not only ensures that the machine itself will last as long as it should, it also ensures that your clothes will be as clean as possible.

It may seem counterintuitive to have to ‘clean your washer’, but over time as the washer itself is cleaning clothes of gunk and grime, that dirt is also building up within the washer along with detergent residue. Your unit can also build up mold and mildew due to the moist and humid temperatures associated with cleaning and often time the room they are housed. This can lead to odors in the machine and ultimately, on your clothes.

So let’s dig in and talk the steps necessary to clean your washing machine properly. If that’s the case, the process is super simple as the washer does all the work. Just follow the instructions from the company.

If you do not have a clean cycle, you’ll want to do the following:

  1. Identify the top of washing machine you have. A HE Front & Top Loader will require one approach, while a Non-HE machine requires something slightly different.
  2. Decide on the type of cleaner you will use: White vinegar, bleach, or a commercial cleaner. If you’re looking for a non-toxic cleaner, white vinegar will be your choice. Some manufacturers, however, will recommend using a bleach or commercial cleaner, so it is important to check your guide books. You’ll also want to check your guide books for recommended amounts of cleaner to use. **Never mix cleaning solutions! You’ll use one of the solutions and only one.

Steps to cleaning a HE Top or Front Loading machine:

        1.  Choose the “clean” cycle. If your machine doesn’t have this, select the hottest water setting. In some cases, this may be the setting for whites or heavily stained clothes

  1. 2. Choose the added rinse cycle if it’s available.

    3. Fill the bleach dispenser with your cleanser choice.

    4. Fill the tub to the highest level (this will probably be automatic with the clean cycle) and run the machine.

    5. If you don’t have a second rinse cycle, run the rinse cycle again manually.

Once you’ve finished the clean cycle, you’re then going use a vinegar dipped cloth to wipe down & thoroughly clean the gasket that seals the door (mildew & mold loves to creep in here), the drum, soap dispensers, and the entire outside of the machine.

Doing a weekly wipe down of your washing machine will also help prevent excess buildup and keep your clothes looking and smelling much cleaner, and again preserving the longevity of your machine.
