How to move heavy furniture and to avoid damaging the floor
To move heavy furniture need not enough of their own forces and even more time. Many of these goals call movers and pay not small money, so as not to damage the floor with self-transport. But if we recall the traditional methods, it is possible to move into his own apartment, even the heavy wardrobe Soviet times, and most without any help and
All the following methods in the time I have personally tested it and I can say that each of them is effective, but again it depends on the availability of certain tools and materials.
The first method involves the use of conventional nylon covers, which are used for closing of glass jars. They can be used in the presence of heavy furniture legs. It is best if these covers are made in the Soviet Union as far from modern quality and such use is simply not withstand high loads.
Once I so move on the wooden floor of the heavy Soviet cabinet. Under each foot planted on one of the cover and the effect was decent. Nylon glides well on wood, without causing any harm to him. Small traces remain of course, but they are hardly noticeable. If this method is used in the presence of linoleum, then the task will be even easier.
If you do not have a handy caps, you can use the insoles of shoes. Most importantly, the insoles are made of felt. Take two insoles and cut them into quarters. Next you need to one side of each piece of soap the soap and put a down under each foot. Felt, which is impregnated with soap and water slides perfectly on any floor surface.
Another way, which has long been myself zarekomendoval- is the use of soap. All you need to do is a little bit wet it in water and lather the floor over the entire area of movement of furniture. Soap perfectly promotes sliding and prevents damage to the floor covering due to its low coefficient of friction.
