Furniture Slider Review---Moving Men
There are many practical applications for using furniture sliders from moving full desks or cabinets without taking everything out and then putting it back to installing furniture sliders on your couch or bed to make cleaning underneath and behind them much easier. As you can see there are many practical uses but which product is the best furniture sliders? In this article we’ll review the top furniture sliders and rate their pros and cons as well as tell you where you can find the best deals. And in the beginning, we will review the Moving Men furniture slider first.
Moving Men Furniture Slider Set
The Moving Men furniture slider set is an eight piece packages that has two sets of sliders that are meant to handle a big and a small piece of furniture. The large sliders are 7 inch disks (there are four of them) that are designed to move big furniture such as couches, beds and bookshelves or cabinets. There are also 4 small sliders that are 3.5 inches in diameter and will move smaller items such as desks, recliners and dining room tables. Not that the small sliders couldn’t be used for big items (or vice versa), however because they have a smaller surface area the friction will be higher and the furniture is more likely to slide off of the moving disks.
So how do the Moving Men Sliders perform ?
The Moving Men Sliders are easy to install. It’s amazing how easily they slide across the carpet and it took me a couple of times to get the alignment right (I kept overshooting the mark). It was a little difficult for me to do this by myself; I had to hold the bed up with one arm and my knee while I aligned the disk with the other arm. Once installed, the moving men made moving the couch a breeze; it wasn’t hard at all. The biggest problem I had with the Moving Men furniture sliding set was when I tried it on the dining room table. We have hardwood floors in the dining room and the sliding motion of the disks scratched some of the finish. It’s not real bad (probably because our table is fairly light) but it is something to be aware of when using them. The one thought I had was that there could have been some dirt on the floor that may have caused the scratches. If you do try and use them on hardwood floors, you would definitely want to sweep or vacuum the surface first to eliminate any dirt that could scratch the floor.
Check Out Amazon’s Prices on Moving Men Furniture Sliders
Amazon offers free shipping on purchases over $25 so my advice is to purchase two of these sets. That way you can move your entire living room around without having to bend over and remove the furniture sliders and put them back on again later if you change your mind. Plus, if you happen to lose one slider the set becomes useless (you can’t slide things with three furniture moving pads) so having an extra set will save you the effort of buying another set and waiting (or simply not using the sliders).

How to Protect Hardwood Floors From Furniture Weight
Hardwood floors are special for their timelessness, their value and, above all, their beauty and aura of luxury. However , because hardwood is easily damaged by furniture or heavy duty appliances such as scratches, dents and attrition. With proper cleaning and floor protection such as felt pad,furniture slider, and maintenance, your hardwood floors will retain their shape and luster for years to come. So you should take reasonable precautions in protecting hardwood floors from heavy objects such as furniture.
Maintenance
Properly cleaning and maintaining your hardwood floors will help hardwood to retain their strength, reducing the potential for damage. Place nonrubber floor mats at entrances and move them while cleaning to let the hardwood "breathe." Keep floors clear of dust and debris by vacuuming regularly with the soft brush attachment. Last, refinish hardwood floors every four to five years
Floor Protection
Attach cork pads, felt pad or other floor protector to the bottom of all furniture legs. Build Direct recommends using wider padding for heavy furniture such as tables and sofas. When moving furniture, use furniture slider between the furniture and the floor. No harm to floor and slide the furniture easily.
Damage Prevention
Respond to any insect sighting proactively, as they will sometimes infest hardwood floors, increasing the possibility that the furniture will crack it. Keep in mind, too, that older wooden furniture can easily allow a colony to migrate, so exercise caution when shopping for antique furniture.

How do you tell what size furniture sliders to use?
A furniture slider is basically a smooth plastic disk that has a rubbery backside that "grabs" the furniture. The way these furniture sliders work is that they have a lower coefficient of friction (are more slippery) than the furniture so they will glide a lot easier. And the key to avoiding scenario is to get good quality furniture sliders (you'll want to avoid the cheap knock-offs) and to make sure you have the right size furniture slides.
A quality set of furniture movers will move things like a heavy entertainment center with a TV on it, a fully loaded bookshelf, and a full filing cabinet very effectively. If you plan on moving something very heavy (an entertainment center, a full bookshelf or filing cabinet, a heavy dining room table, heavy woodworking equipment like a table saw, band saw or lathe) you should definitely go with the bigger disks, at least 7 inches in diameter. If your moving something lighter (queen bed or smaller, lighter dining room table, couches and recliners) you can probably use the 3.5 inch disks. There are even smaller sliders available which can be permanently attached to chairs which is great for dining room chairs and deck chairs to make them easier to move around.

How to move heavy appliance with furniture slider?
Furniture slider is a important part when you are putting off redecorating or cleaning your room.No need to worry about back pain from lifting a too-heavy item or scratches on your hardwood floor. Here I will help you how to move furniture with slider that save you tons of time and energy.
² Recruit help if possible. Moving furniture is always easier and safer with two.
² Empty everything out of a cabinet or desk before attempting to move it. Paper, dishes and books are very heavy, and eliminating some of the bulk simplifies the job.
² Create your own sliders with pieces of cardboard and towels. Towels work best on hard floors; cardboard is better for carpet. Cut them to a manageable size and create one for each leg.
² Purchase furniture sliders at any home goods store if you prefer them to homemade sliders. There are several styles available. Purchase the size that will fit the legs of your furniture and use ones from a reputable company. Ask a salesperson for help if you're not sure which ones to buy.
² Tilt the furniture piece forward or backward so one of the legs comes up off the floor. Push the slider under the leg with your foot or have your helper put it under. Using this technique, put sliders under all the legs.
² Push or pull the furniture to the new location when each leg has a slider underneath. If the sliders are small enough or hidden, you can keep them under the legs for the next move. Some furniture sliders are meant to be permanent.

2. Use a rubber flat head mallet to tap protectors into chair legs. A regular hammer can be used in conjunction with a short 1x4 wood board. This process eliminates denting and checking to the nail-on component surface.
3. Drill an undersized pilot hole for the nail if the wood of the chair leg is dense hardwood and or if the chair leg is small in size to avoid splitting the chair leg. Be careful not to drill too large of a hole which can cause a loose fit.
4. Avoid abrasive damage through excessive wear to the metal or nylon head to which the Felt Pads black nylon hook component is attached. Scratches to this surface can compromise the adhesive bond and make replacing Sets more difficult.
(a) Replace the felt pad when worn and dirty
(b) Replace Felt Pads Set if the hook component is damaged
(c) The metal or nylon nail-on component typically shouldn’t need replacement.
6. The best maintenance procedure is to monitor and change the replaceable felt pad as necessary to avoid damaging the hook component. Pad replacement takes less than a minute per chair. This process will increase the life of your floor, chairs and stools.
7. If the nail hole in the chair leg is too large to secure the Nail-on component tightly, apply wood glue to a tooth pick and tap into the hole and break off flush.

Baby safety: Protect baby from home furniture appliances
In 2013, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) released a report regarding injuries and fatalities caused by tip-overs of furniture, appliances and TVs. Baby safety should be pay more attention by family with child all the time.
Over 40% of these fatalities occurred in bedrooms, while 19% occurred in living or family rooms. Some of these appear to have been because families purchased or transitioned to flat screen televisions and moved their older, heavier TVs into bedrooms and other rooms in the house without the appropriate stands or anchoring devices.
To help prevent tip-over tragedies, CPSC recommends the following safety measures in homes where children live or visit:
l Anchor furniture to the wall or the floor.
l Place TVs on sturdy low bases, or anchor the furniture and the TV on top of the base, and push the TV as far back on the furniture as possible.
l Keep remote controls, toys and other items that might attract children off of TV stands or furniture.
l Keep TV and/or cable cords out of reach of children.
l Make sure freestanding kitchen ranges and stoves are installed with anti-tip brackets.
l Supervise children in rooms where these safety tips have not been followed.

Things You Must Know About Hook And Loop Tape
If you need an adhesion or closure alternative that is temporary and flexible, the hook and loop type of tapes might be the ideal solution. This closure system is widely seen on numerous consumer goods such as bags, shoes, gears, and some clothing pieces like jackets. It employs a very basic mechanism but the applications seem to be limitless.Read along and you will know more about the hook and loop velcro tape.
Brief background on this tape and how does it work
If you are not familiar with the term hook and loop, perhaps the word Velcro might ring the bell. But Velcro is actually the company or brand that revolutionized and popularized these tapes and straps. Hook and loop strap or tape is a fastening or closure system that involves the use of two parts or sides:
- One rougher side which features minute hooks
- The smoother side that contains strands of fibers woven in loops
To lock the two parts in place, just press the hook strap to the loop side and both will stick together like an ordinary adhesive tape. A Velcro hook and loop tape can easily be opened or unstrapped by pulling either of the side or strap away from the other.
The applications and benefits of this tape
- As mentioned above, the applications or uses of this tape or strap can be limitless. You can commonly see Velcro straps used for the following:
- Shoes and other footwear particularly those manufactured for children
- As a hook and loop fastener tape of children and adult bags from backpacks, shoulder bags, totes, even some small wallets
- As clothing straps particularly for jackets
- For sporting gears like caps, and sports uniforms
- For sticking gadgets and other small items by the walls or the ceiling
Among the benefits of using a hook and loop tape includes the following:
- It provides strong adhesion. Did you know that these straps can hold even your own weight? According to experts, they are capable of supporting a load of as much as 79 kilograms. Of course for stronger adhesion, you will need longer and more parallels of Velcro tapes.
- It provides temporary adhesion. Unlike ordinary tapes that are meant to stay in place wherever they are used, the hook and loop type is capable of providing temporary closure or adhesion. This is perfect for items that require this feature like your common gears and apparels.
- There’s no sticky residue. There are no glues or chemicals used to make the hook side adhere to the other side, so there’s no problem on safety and glue residues.

The different types of hook and loop tape roll
These straps or tapes are usually sold in rolls providing enough stretch for several projects or uses. There are two general types for this tape, the stick-on and the sew-on.
- Stick-on Velcro tapes – These tapes have a special adhesive at the back of the hook and loop straps so that they could instantly be used almost anywhere.
- Sew-on Velcro tapes – As their name suggests, the two hook and loop tape parts are sewed permanently on the items where they shall be used, like in the case of bags and shoes.

What Is the Best Hardwood Floor Protector?
Hardwood floors have been a staple of quality home design for many years. Their durability and rich appearance make them a smart investment for almost any situation. Protecting that investment is easy and will ensure that you get the most out of your floors for years.So what is the best hardwood floor protector? Want to find more floor protector for your hardwood floor? See more at www.gzprodigy.com.
Lifetime Investment
Hardwood floors provide a unique aesthetic in the home, making them highly popular with homeowners. The Wood Floor Doctor states that, "A properly maintained 3/4 inch by 2 inch strip floor will last 300 years," which means that your hardwood flooring is a valuable investment, provided you care for it. Most hardwoods are resilient surfaces and can withstand a variety of abuses.
Exterior Door Mat
For overall protection from the elements, the World Floor Covering Association recommends exterior mats. The debris that adheres to shoes, the WFCA states, "act like sandpaper and will scratch your floor." Many find this hard to believe, but remember that your floor is not a temporary rug; it is an investment that will remain in your home for decades. The accumulation of small abrasions will have a drastic effect on the look of hardwoods over time. An exterior mat made of material strong enough to "scrub" shoes before entering the home immediately prolongs the life of your floors. Additionally, regularly sweeping or vacuuming your hardwoods further reduces the presence of small particles capable of scratching the surface over time.
Furniture Floor Protector Pads
Furniture causes the majority of hardwood flooring scratches. Any piece of furniture resting directly on the wood surface represents a scratching hazard. However, this risk is easily managed in most cases. Felt pads are available at your local hardware store, and simply adhering them to your furniture at the contact points will keep your floors healthy and safe. Gzprodigy.com points out that these felt pads tend to attract dirt, advising you to, "take a look at the bottom side of the protectors while rubbing off any grit that may have collected" when cleaning.
Area Rug Caution
Many people employ area rugs in various sizes for additional hardwood protection. While effective, rugs can pose certain risks to your hardwood floor. As Hardwoodinstaller.com mentions, "synthetic anti-slip or non-skid pads used under area rugs can cause an impression on hardwood floors over a period of time." Be cautious when selecting an area rug, and try to select products designed specifically for hardwood floors to avoid these risks. Furthermore, the WFCA warns that sunlight can fade your hardwoods, adding that, "Window treatments are recommended, as well as rotating area rugs and furniture regularly to allow floors to age evenly from UV exposure." Otherwise, you could end up with unsightly dark/light spots that force you to refinish the entire floor.
Precautions
With a few protective measures, you can greatly extend the life of your hardwood floors. Communicate with the source of your hardwoods as well as your installer for specific recommendations based on the particular wood and finish. Avoid stiletto heels, keep pets' toenails neatly trimmed and try to keep children from any kind of play that is particularly rough on the floors.
