How to Protect Stairs and Floors When Moving Furniture · Step 6 of 7

For heavier furniture pieces like sofas, dressers, or large cabinets, use larger, softer materials to create a cushioned moving surface. Find a piece of plush carpet, ensuring the pile side is facing downwards to allow for smooth gliding. Alternatively, a heavy blanket can be used. Carefully lift one side of the furniture and slide the carpet or blanket underneath the legs, ensuring it is positioned squarely. Repeat for all legs. This method provides a protective layer that helps the furniture slide across the floor without scratching and reduces the effort required to move heavy items, protecting your back.
