Step 3 · Protect Hardwood or Delicate Floors

In areas with hardwood, laminate, or vinyl flooring that will be trafficked, lay down protective materials. Ram Board or Masonite sheets are excellent for heavy traffic and provide a rigid surface. Alternatively, thick moving blankets can be used, overlapping them to create a continuous protective layer. Ensure the entire path is covered, extending from the furniture's starting point to the stairs and from the stairs to the exit.
