Top 7 TIPs:
- Wrap a piece of furniture with special furniture blankets and cover the edges of them before trying to slip a sofa or wardrobe in a doorway. It will prevent walls, door frames, and furniture from hardening. This way, that extra padding will soften the force of the impact if a heavyweight object is accidentally dropped onto the floor.
- Don’t drug heavy furniture along the floor, this can cause deep scratches on your hardwood floor and your rug or carpet to be cut by the legs of the dresser. Use special tools to move your pieces of furniture such as furniture sliders and rubber-wheel dollies.
3. Use furniture sliders. Furniture sliders can be slipped under each leg of the furniture which will help to move the furniture without harming your floor.
4. Use rubber-wheel dolly to protect wood floors to wheel out the heavy items out of your home without any damage to the flooring. You can rent an appliance dolly from a local moving company or purchase one from a home depot store.
5. To make sure no damage will befall on the carpeting in your home, roll the carpet up when moving, and if possible, do not drag furniture over it. If the carpet still remains on the floor, cover it with cardboard or an old sheet.

These protective coverings are made of neoprene and have an anti-slip surface on one side to keep them from shifting when in use.
