Monster Tote is a clean and sanitary moving solution! While Monster Tote’s plastic moving boxes/totes are re-used in order to make your move more eco-friendly and sustainable, they are much more clean and sanitary than used cardboard moving boxes. After each move, every plastic moving box/tote is thoroughly cleaned with soap, disinfected, and dried with compressed air. This means that they are delivered to you in an extremely clean and sanitary condition. (https://monstertote.com/page/faq)
We all know that cardboard moving boxes are expensive, so many people search for used cardboard boxes for their move. This is NOT a clean or sanitary choice! First, you don’t have any idea what kind of items were packed in these boxes. Second, do you personally know the person you are getting cardboard moving boxes from? Even if you do, they may have gotten them used; do you know the people they got them from? Did they smoke or have pets you may be allergic to? Did they live in/move to a clean and sanitary home? Third, cardboard boxes can absorb all kinds of bacteria and pests, including moths, beetles, cockroaches, and other insects.
Worst of all, used cardboard moving boxes can be contaminated with bed bugs! Did you know that bed bugs can stay alive for up to a year in temperatures ranging from 14 ° F – 115 ° F?!?! In other words, neither extremely cold nor extremely hot weather will kill them. Once bed bugs get into your home, they can cause skin rashes, allergic reactions, and mental health issues. Furthermore, bed bugs are very difficult to exterminate, even with pesticide use, though who really wants to use pesticides inside their home either?! Clearly using cardboard moving boxes is not a clean and sanitary choice for your move! (https://www.meatheadmovers.com/blog/used-moving-boxes-bed-bugs/)
