Relocating - 3 Minute Guide to Moving a Washing Machine

Ok, you want to move and have to carry a washing machine. And you don't want to read an essay about the history of washing machine transportation. So let's get right to it:
1. Unplug the washing machine from electricity.
2. Disconnect the hoses.
3. Dry the hoses and put them in a plastic bag. Attach the plastic bag onto the washing machine with tape or put it inside the drum after having done step 4.
4. Try to get out the water from the washing machine. There's always some water left in a washing machine. Some washing machines have a plug that you can pull, otherwise you will have to lean the washing machine forward and try to get the water out.
5. Put some old towels in your car so that leaking water won't spoil your car.
6. Put the machine in upright position in your car. If that's not possible, lay it on it's back. But be careful, if there's still water in the machine it might cause a damage to the electrical parts of your washing machine.
7. When setting your machine up in your new home and running it for the first time, don't just leave the house. Be around and have a look every now and then - buy car wash equipment something could be wrong and your laundry room could get flooded.
That's it. See? I promised you no flowery language. Instead, a simple step-by-step guide on how to move a washing machine. I hope you found it useful. I didn't cover every detail or question there is, but this should be enough.
