4. Method 1 of 4: Furniture That's Not
Supposed to Move
• 1 、 Use a business card or a small cutout with
construction paper on all four legs of the object.
If done correctly on most objects, you can
prevent scratching. However, this will not
prevent moving.

5. • 2 、 Use felt, cork or rubber pads meant for the
bottoms of chairs and tables. These will protect
the floor while still allowing it to slightly move.

6. • 3 、 Use carpet tape or velcro if you don't want
the object to move. These, will prevent the
object from moving unless forced, but will do
nothing to protect against scratches when
moved.

7. • 4 、 Rubber chair legs can be purchased
specifically for the bottoms of chair legs.

8. • 5 、 Wrapping the bottoms in a plastic bag and
using a rubber band will hold it as long as the
bag stays on.

9. Method 2 of 4: Furniture that Can/Needs to
Be Moved Frequently
• 1 、 Sometimes chairs and desks can have
wheels attached to them. Ask your local store.

10. • 2 、 Products called glider pads can be attached
to the bottoms of legs to furniture. They make
them incredibly easy to move.

11. • 3 、 Try sanding and oiling the bottom of the
chair/table leg until it has rounded sides. As long
as a lot of weight isn't on it, it shouldn't scratch.

12. Method 3 of 4: Moving Heavy Furniture
• 1 、 When moving heavy furniture, slip a folded
cotton towel under the legs while a helper tips or
leans the object,

13. • 2 、 Slip additional folded cotton towels as
described above, under remaining legs (or point
of contact) until each has a towel between the
leg and the floor.

14. • 3 、 A small area rug can be used instead of
towels, but be sure that the smoothest / softest
side of the rug is against the floor (many rugs
have an abrasive or rubber backing to help keep
in place).

15. Method 4 of 4: Repairing Scratches
• 1 、 For simple scratches, there are scratch-
removing sprays.

16. • 2 、 Oils and finishes can repair small scratches
on the wood.

17. • 3 、 If the scratch has a slight texture (past the
finish) you should use wood patching.

18. • 4 、 Deeper scratches require wood fillers and
repairing chemicals.

19. • 5 、 If you want to do it the easy way, you can
just throw a carpet over the scratch. (Nobody will
ever know.)
